my experience in driving on Western Australian roads has been most unpleasurable.

in my first instance, i was on Reid Hwy, turning right into Nth Beach road. Behind me was an undercover white Ford police car, i could tell by the front lights and about 3 antennas at the back.

so i was waiting about 10 mins for a clear gap (i was driving a Honda Accord), and i saw them getting sort of wrestless. anyway turning into nth beach road the limit is 60, with a school zone nearby. because i was first, the police car was behind me, and i sat dead on 60 the whole way (people usually do 80, its single lane). anyway i heard the sirens and saw the lights in my rear view mirrors. i thought i had done some thing wrong, i started to pull over, but the police car kept going, it flew past me.

so i kept going at about 60, and up ahead near the traffic lights the police car was sitting there first at a red light WITHOUT sirens or lights, and was also turning, didnt indicate. did 50 through a school zone. and stopped at the gull petrol station..

ive got the numberplate details of that car... what can i do with it?

my second experience THIS WEEK was riding my bike, in mt lawley area, i was on a roundabout and indicated with my right arm that i was turning. a marked holden police car pulled out infront of me, i grabbed the handles with two hands, and back breaks locked and (wet road) i skidded behind the car and onto the curb. this woman in the co drivers seat wound down the window and said i need to be more 'careful'

SON OF A #^$@#^$$)%#@*&$%#@^$

when i get my skyline, its going to have a Bullbar on it.

thats life mate. normal id say.

if you got the plates, call up the police station that the car was patrolling in and make a complaint (pretty much guaranteed to do nothing/go no where/ get laughed at). cops have each others back, if u were a cop u probably wouldnt dob in a fellow worker for something not worth dobbing (ie some stupid road thing), unless you disliked him/her.

if it did go anywhere, and he did hear back from it, it would probably only make the cop angry and anal rape the next person he pulls over.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
