I have a highly ranked traffic cop and a good long term mate who is training to be a traffic cop at the moment.

The rules shocked me a bit! Police can do ANY speed they want IF the conditions are not putting any other road users lifes or safety at risk, under the condition that they have NOT engaged lights or sirens. They may do ANY speed to get to you, but once they engage/call through a chase, it's a maximum of 40km/h over the legal speed limit.

Had my fair share of Police chases. Stupid stupid days. I've realised how f**ken much of a tool I was!

There's the old gokart track (Big Track) in Bayswater just next to Tonkin Hwy.. someone should look into turning it into a drift track where we can go and burn some rubber not on public streets :)

wow didn't know that either. once awhile ago this highway patrol car would have easily been doing double the speed limit on residential roads to catch up to me at around 5pm when all the kids are out...

It's a sweet track, when it was open it was the first place I went gokarting at and it was wet at the time. The guys were all like "no being stupid out there now" but after a few laps of watching us get completely sideways round every corner they were cheering us on!

But yeah, I've always wanted to get a car on there and tossed this idea round before. Would require lots of badgering of the council I'd say and a pretty hefty insurance premium but I would love to help out however I can. Good Luck!

Morley karts yeah?

My grandad was very involved in starting gokarting in wa and helped build a go kart track that used to be right next to burswood train/casino! Imagine that! Anyway, I'll see if he can help!!

May need to be widened a little.. :(

or we could all build some of these.. insane. I got a vid at home of the GSXR powered kart but I can't find a vid online.. filename should be something like gixxerkart.wmv if someone has more time than me :)

SR32: Big Track is in Bayswater, you can just see it on the west side of the Tonkin Hwy near the Collier Rd intersection :)

Ok kool, I'll ask him for help!

Would be awesome.

You guys know Drift WA has 2 drift events planned for Collie next year?

Dates are in April and probably October. Basic training will be available to those that want it from instructors on the skid pan and then onto the track.

This 160 km/h stuff is BS, they just don't call it in or fail to report their speed. I know plenty of people who bragged about going 180+ and the coppers keep chasing. They are the law, they do what they want. All these 'oh no they cant chase me cause of this blah blah' is just out in the public to keep the old people happy. You can't whinge if they say its a law, not that they ever follow it ?

Ive mellowed alot lately, but its fair to say I would at one time live by the motto "never stop"

These days with the police driving performance vehicles the odds of getting away are slimmer.

These days i keep my stupid shit to the track :laugh:

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
