Did anyone see this?

Cops were following the R33 cos it was suspected of being used in some armed robberies, then they cornered it in Wiley Park...and the guy drove straight at the cop hitting his hand and knocking his gun to the ground. One of the cops fired about 4 shots at the R33.

I hope it's no ones car from here :P

Channel 7 said "Skyline" over and over again..

but I saw the Channel 9 report as well, and they just said the stolen "car" - didn't even say it was a Skyline at all or even a Nissan!

I think Channel 7 have to keep their viewers up to date with how bad these cars are, because armed robbers and hoons drive them, they can justify their stories on TT :mad:>_<

Quote: It is believed one officer then got out of his car - and it is alleged the Skyline tried to run him down.

Funny how it was the 'Skyline' who tried to run the cop down, and not the Skyline's DRIVER!

Oh yeah, I've noticed that Channel 7 (especially on Today Tonight) love to sensationalise a lot more than the other stations.

hitting his hand and gun only? - Was it just a bad Driver, how hard is it to take a cop out?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
