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?

    • Looks handsome in front and rear. Side dimensions are awful.
    • Welllll..... some of the Preludes, particularly this one Sort of kinda mimicked the long-nose-short-deck-Mustang/Skyline profile anyway. That one ^ kinda like R34. The other more curvy Prelude kinda like the R33. Integras had a little of that going on also. So, it's not totally surprising to me that their designers have gravitated to a similar profile to more "modern" (ha! 20 year old!!) Nissan coupes. Of course, they could have just stolen the V/Z platform anyway, per your suggestion. I am, otherwise, similarly unimpressed. Those venty things at the bottom of the front guard/door reek of Tiburon, which is not a place any designer would want to be.
    • I’m an automotive photographer based in Sydney, but just dropping this here in case anyone else from NSW is looking. I’ve been photographing cars for more than 10 years, working with private owners, collectors, dealerships, and brands. You can check out my work here: carphotographers.com.au Would definitely recommend finding someone local in Melbourne who understands how to shoot Skylines properly — the angles and light really make a difference. If you ever drive up this way, happy to shoot it for you.
    • Looks like the brief relationship between Honda and Nissan resulted in Honda stealing the Z profile designs.  I'm not a fan at all. 👎🏻   https://www.autoblog.com/news/seeing-the-new-honda-prelude-up-close-reveals-its-retro-magic
