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

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
