Saw a nice calais/commodore (I'm not very good with the Holdens....can't tell which one is which :D ) with polished chromies at Anzac Highway, got pulled over by a cop. It was not the holden that had got my attention (sorry....), but it was the police car!! The police was driving a normal holden commodore, without all the POLICE 69 vinyls on his car!! He only had two red and blue siren lights in his car... on the dash!! :O .....The number plates were very normal....not even with the SA Government thingy at the bottom of the plates......... Damn..... That was the first time I saw a police in action with a 'normal' car (besides the siren lights :) ). A bit worrying.... "They are.......they are.. everywhere................." (sixth sense) :(

Surprised you've never seen an under cover car before. Once you know what to look for they tend to stand out (eg. extra long or thick antennas, no fuel flap w/ antenna, on board display screen, number plates) but, if they have number plates that don't begin with an "X" or they're in a Mitsubishi then its game over :O.

We have sold a few cars to the police through work that have had normal plates (usually wagons for the revenue guns :D )

he must be wanted for something else (stolen car ect) as they don't normally pull you over for traffic issues.

Saw a ceffy going down Aylifes road the other day, A 34 coupe outside marion yesterday, a heap of 32 GTST's around down south

Hahaha..... I think the only time I can see the on board display screen in the under cover cops car is when I've got pulled over or I am driving besides the car (might be pulled over as well - the cops always have excuses to stop the imports anyway), or more heroically, accidentally overtaking the car and got pulled over for speeding! following illegal mods... lol :)

... as they don't normally pull you over for traffic issues.

Not normally... I got pulled over by a lone undercover cop when i was in my old accord. I had two girls stand up and hang out the sunroof while stopped at traffic lights... he was right behind me and needless to say, was not impressed. Got off with a warning though, don't think he had the time to be filing paperwork.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
