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....

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
