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....

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
