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

    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
    • According to Josh, one of our local Americans, it seems the USA still can't get turbo systems quite right at a lot of places, so possible that they're not running great at all, but they've just not complained as NFI about getting it right...
