Don't stop there Col...  Spill the beans...

There have been 80? Standard cars issued to Queensland police over the hole of the QLD area. From anything an everything. Some interesting info. I’ve yet to get onto what my local area has got… Or is getting.

Ok yes its true....

I have sourced the info.... True....!

There are more cars than you know about tho..... (other than the SS).....

There are more like 17 cars driving our roads everyday....

Everything from a magna to a corolla

pm away....:cheers:

let me know.. and i'll shove the list on a website somewhere (in china or something :cheers:)

or we could just build a database as people see them, with like model, colour, plates - won't make them effective for long ..

there is a silver xr6 floting around brisbane, personalised plates

i know for a fact that this is out there has got me and one of my mates for defects before.

i has the v8 supercar background on the plates but can't be to sure what it exactly say's.

keep your eyes open.

That would be it, I must be colour blind... it was night though.

TRY24 caught my sister speeding on sunday afternoon on the gateway motorway (near the kuraby plaza) 124 in 100 zone from 551.3m away. I was in the car with her - she picked me up from the airport. She had seen it around a few times and knew it was a coppa, but she didnt see it until it was too late..... He was uniformed.

I wish I had asked him what the personalised plates meant.

Spotted another Ford black ute with rear canopy

Reg number  RYM22  had a theme on the plates as well

Was doing hand held laser radar on Redland bay road Capalaba on Wednesday arvo 12.1.05

Two men in full uniform booking people

Did not have lights on top or police stickers down the side.

Very stealth!.

Got a ticket today from this car

rego number is actualll RYW22 Ford XR6 ute black with a canopy

Got a ticket for no front number plate

Let me off on other defects

Passanger seat out of car, explained I am in the middle of fitting new seats

Rear tyre bold on outside edges

Too low

Pillar gauges

The whole time the officer spoke to me he recorded it on tape, then got a video camera that was wedged in betwwen the passanger headrest on the seat and video my car of all the possible defects and no front plate.

I questioned him why he did all this. Reason was for court evidence incase I contested the ticket

He was quite good about the whole thing, we had a bit of a chat while standing by his car. The car last week was in Cairns mainly works out of Brisbane and is part of the State Traffic Task Force

In side the car had dash mounted radar and the video camera mounted wedged into the seat. I should have defected him for having potental projectile with the video camera

I mention the black utes have made some attention around the car scene and he mentioned some car forums, but not SAU, so it cinfirms they are probaly reading this right now

Anyway I got of ligthly $60 no points

It pays not be a smart arse.

What next?

They will have helicopters next just like USA.

I think they need D-bikes....

The bike scene has grown rapidlly in the past year or two....

On MSCIII bikes used the 80 odd skylines that attended as a moving salom event...

I see bike commonlly passing me at twice my speed... They are crazy.... Although they will hurt them selves more than myself. I still dont want a bike stuck in my passanger door....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
