wouldn't be a 380, only just recently released. We service a few magnas for NSW police, so it'd be the VRX magnas.

Don't worry anyway, i've driven both the base model 380 and the VRX, better than the magna, but, not better than a skyline (380 is a family car so it's obvious).

I'm still to check out/drive the luxury models and the GT

theres probably 200 or so of them in the whole state

more than that mate, they use unmarked ones too, most of their magnas are unmarked actually. Believe me, the AWD magnas go pretty hard for a family car

Yeah i meant 200 or so of the marked ones (they have highway patrol style stickers all over them and are white, i know there are coloured ones with POLICE down the doors), ive learnt the hard way not to give them a reason to pull me over <_<

Basically any new car can potentially be a cop car.

XR6's, XR6T's, XR8's, SS's, S's, any standard holden/ford, magna's and VRX magna, camry's, corolla's, lancer wagons and VRX lancer and pathfinder's. There all the ones that are just in my area, so i'm sure in city areas there are plenty more including modified cars.

But not all of these cars will pull you over unless you are doing something stupid. Usually the big bangers are highway patrol

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
