Yes i have also seen the black hummer. I tried overtaking him as he was doing 80kph on motorway, as soon as i tried his blue and red lights came on. I pulled over and he kept going. I dropped a picnic bar out my boxers! I was lucky, he may have got called away at the same moment. So be careful dudes!

wow, slightly off topic, but I have been out of the car scene for a year or two and just getting back into it again... god damn it must suck to be a P plater! Drivin with one of my mates little brothers today in his 33 non turbo pulled over 3 times between capalaba and ipswich rd by cops searchin for a turbo under the bonnet. Not quite sure half of them know what there looking at, one of them searched for a good 5 minutes for a turbo when it was plainly obvious it doesnt have one fromt he moment you open the bonnet. Anyways... happy to be on my opens :ninja:

plus my mate was pulled over by a green 180sx with all the lights in cleveland, he overtook them because they were doing 60 in an 80 zone. :mellow: scary stuff

Also a normal cop car can only do 170Klms at the max before they have to drop of because the lights cause too much drag in undercover cop cars not sure.

my uncle's a cop.

he told me that after 180km they have 2 stop, pull over for a couple of seconds, an turn off their lights.

because it's way to dangerous, some1 could b killed, and it would be the police's fault.

so i dunno wether it's tru or not, he's gotten a few things wrong b4.

i always try and prove him wrong lmao

Well I can only think of two ways to prove him right or wrong on that one, and at least one of them I wouldn't suggest lol

i could not see officer plod pulling over and waiting whist in pursuit

he has "raw emotion"

One of my Mates' Supra is supposed to be speed limited to 180.... "supposed to" and will/are are two separate terms.

Of course he only tests this on a track.......... :)

The only time I ever heard anything in relation to speed limited police vehicles were the old BMW motorbikes. They were not recommended to travel above 130 because of the saddle bag set up but that's complete bollocks about the cars.

When a pursuit is terminated police are pull to the side of the road and come to a complete stop. They are then supposed to carry out a test of equipment over the vehicle.

Police can do whatever speed they want but must justify their decisions should anything go wrong as they are always held accountable. Any pursuit where a police vehicle goes over 30kph above the speed limit must be investigated.

Hi guys, does anyone know if it is illegal to post pics of cop cars parked outside stations?

I was passing a station today and there was a few D cars parked, had my camera but didn't take any snaps. A pic is worth a thousand words.

I don't, however want to do anything against the law or rules here.

Well i can confirm that undercover are aloud to go way over 170-180.. not revealing how i know that though :P

Well in my experience the com-co. controls the persuit. The lead car calls speed, traffic & road conditions in the interest of safety, for both the crew & the public (and offender) and the nearest available marked car is allocated the lead.

Most patrol & 'unmarked' cars are incapable of speeds much over 160kph, one reason is because the beads break loose on the tyres, so persuit cars are allocated the lead. Should the com-co. consider the the persuit 'dangerous', then the code 2 is called off or slowed down. Don't know of any 'checks' or 'investigations' unless a department vehicle has been damaged or an injury has taken place during a persuit.

A bit too much tv maybe..

But then what do I know.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
