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....

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
