ummm....just a thought.....have you guys stopped for a second and wondered if thread starter was actually being sarcastic :)

The question bro, is have you stopped for a second to think that the dude actually meant it... let's face it, for the coppers, the car is not too bad... I mean, it's not bad... quite nice... but I would say SUPERCAR... damn yo!

Guys, you got this all wrong!

It's not actually an XR8, it's just a police conspiracy to make it LOOK like an Xr8.

It's actually an experimental new police car... the XR9!

Yep, 9 cylinders. The extra one is usually turned off, but kicks in when at high speeds! Genius!

The thing on the roof is actually a remote control receiver. Police in a helicopter can manouver the car and ram your butt while they stay safely in the helo. It's also useful for freaking out the stoners who drive to Macdonalds at 4am.

Ok, so I'm bored. It's an Xr8. yay.

Almost makes me wish he's posted that jap skyline cop car again.

i used to work @ cartech (before enfield auto auctions went broke) where all nsw police vehicles were put together and all mods done to them.

theyre nothing special, just a xr8 with the so called "chip" installed. the "chip" is just another computer circuit board installed in them to wire up all the radars,terminals and other bullshit they have to run.

main problem they had was that with all the digital recording equipment they started using the cars were overloading and shitting themselves mid pursuits, which led them to install big arse capacitors to hold power in them during the chase.

drove a few cop cars through the yard and around the carpark area, when they came back to be stripped and sold as stock standard cars, they werent worth much anymore.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
