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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
