hey guys/gals,

was down St. Kilda road on wednesday and saw a mustard/sh*t yellow coloured SS commondore on the side of the road with all the pretty lights flashing. Un-marked car with uniform officer inside but the very, very interesting thing i noticed about it is that on the rear windscreen there was a shade thingy stuck to it. But it was one of those square shaped ones, that only cover like a side window. And this one was covering only half the right-hand side of the rear windscreen. It was hiding the flashing lights!! So don't try and drag/do anything stupid with a sh*t yellow coloured SS commondore with a sunscreen thingy covering the right-hand side of the rear windscreen.

that's only if u don't notice the driver is wearing a bloody uniform :rolleyes:

Yeah, i think that they finally figured out that the red and blue square lights in the rear windscreen and the two hanging off the rear view mirror were a touch obvious to those like us who keep their eyes open...

Maybe we should suggest a (legal) window tint for the 'unmarked but clearly distingushable' cars :rolleyes:

Unmarked police cars have standard issue plates.

All unmarked police cars also have that shade covering the lights, and most have a pretty dark window tint.

The also have extra tint on the top of the windscreen as to cover the lights just above teh rear view mirror.

You also wont find a tow bar on an unmarked police car.

Hey you don't need to be a genius to spell :rolleyes:

They're letting anybody in these days...my mate got in pretty easily whereas previously he had been knocked back (twice i think). He definitely wasn't super fit and definitely not super intelligent. And going on the graduation pissup i went to with him, same as the other recent graduates!

As much as cops annoy me, i gotta say that there are some real RS-holes for cops... Give you a hard time, ask just plain stupid questions:

i was once warming my car up outside my work, which is a silver service restaurant. I'm wearing my full uniform, gay bow-tie and white apron. Cop says "where you been tonight'?

-and are just plain rude.

BUT understand that they have a job to do too, and there are some (few?!) who DO see that the car laws suck and are lenient about fines etc etc... when you come across them it does make you feel better about all the others you've had to deal with.

So, i'f they're RSholes, ignore them just i think some are OK.

As for parking "officers"... scum of the earth.

my 2 cents.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
