Skyline Police Cars

[br3tt]

Saw this on a guys Myspace blog in Japan.

Looks pretty cool. Would hate to have one on my tail. Sorry if it's been posted before.

The Skyline policecars you actually see in (like the one that told me to go home last night) are generally unmarked V35 sedans. I have not seen a marked Skyline

The one from last night looked exactly as below!

What are those glass shields on the bonnets?

[Forged]

Thats awesome. The Japanese police have been using skylines as police cars for bloody ages! ive got this old 80's movie called "Too Much", about this girl going to Japan and making friends with this robot. Pretty strange. There are some car chases in the movie involving the police and you can see the old Skyline police cars. Im not familiar with the old school ones though. They had the rear view mirrors on the front wheel guards i think?

Yeah, what are those shields for? Stopping bugs from hitting the windscreen? If you look closely at my avatar pic, the old R32 GTR cop car has it too.

I'll take a guess that it's to help deflect the wind-blast over the top of the ski-bar on the roof.

I know that when the Vic police first got the VN-VP era Commonwhore chase-cars in the early 90's they were "un-officially" speed-limited to around 225kph 'cos above that there was no guarantee the gear on the roof would actually stay on the roof.

Supposedly they had 1 set come in the rear screen & another spear thru the rear door-skin at stupid speeds which was obviously not a good thing, for them anyway

you can see those cars behind the R34's in the 5th picture

What is the badge on their grill though?

Japanese Police Badge? ;/

[entelijint]

those are pretty sweet. i think somebody in the local government saw them and decided to do something as close as they can to use R34s as our cars (damn 15 year rule)...

yeah, dodge didnt rip off the look at all

I believe that the shield is for bugs and other debris.

The gold badge is the Japanese police force badge as shown below.

This paint scheme has been used on Japanese police cars for a looong time.

Here are some more police cars

Mitsubishi GTO with those "funny mirrors"

Nissan Skyline V35

Mazda FC RX-7

Mazda FD RX-7

Honda NSX

Undercover Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R

Subaru WRX STi

Nissan Cedric

Nissan Fairlady Z (Z32)

Nissan Fairlady Z (S130)

Nissan Fairlady Z432 (S30) and Fairlady Z 2by2 (S31)

Nissan Fairlady 240ZG (S30)

Mazda Cosmo 110 Sport

So, who wants to join Japan's police force?! I do!

Stupid question.

Has anyone imported any ex J-chasers?

I'd love to get a r34 on the 15 year rule later in life that was an ex chaser. Imagine being able to get one that looked exactly like that and use it for drift or something.. lights and all ... heh

[br3tt]

That would be awesome cc

When I worked for Dominos they told us not to go above 80km/h or the sign on the roof would blow off , well they were wrong it blew off at 90km/h

On the Beyond Tommorrow show on Wednesday or something. They showed Bologna, Italy. Their police uses a Lambo to chase cars. The lambo was donated
