I spotted a high speed chase going around my street tonight. some guy in a BA XR8 was trying to outrun 2 cop cars, although he seemed to have sustained a fair amount of damage to the rear of his car, and was missing his rear right tyre. he was grinding the rim along the road while revving the guts out of it to keep going. it was pretty cool, but i live in a circuit, so he went past my house, came out the other end of the circuit, then decided to go around again. the cops split up, obviously trying to stop him at both ends, but he just went around them, then spun out, kept it going and went down the street. i think they finally caught him down on kingsford smith drive, but it was still pretty cool. the noise was horrific, grinding rim and revving V8 combined with the 2 police sirens. i'm sure we'll read about it in the paper tomorrow or see it on TV

hahaha thats crazy!

I was wondering why they blocked off the entrance, they'd only do that if something major was going on.

I kinda crapped myself when i read that coz my brother drives a BA XR8 and just after i saw the cops i saw him having a bit of a run against some bogun ute...

All good, wasnt him haha

Yeah, i don't leave it out anymore, always in the garage. It used to live outside for a bit before the garage was cleaned out. i was a bad owner :sick:

I remember seeing your car going past a bit, i'd always look out the window and drool. lol.

i dunno, but i had my car parked on the street and i watched this guy fishtail past it with no rear tyres. there's an awesome line coming up the road now from the rim digging into the road. i wouldn't think you'd try and outrun the cops if you'd just stolen a car. i saw the guy in the car as he went past, he was all suited up. He didn't really look like the sort of person who would steal a car.

lol, they just mentioned it on the news update, they said the suspect rammed 2 police vehicles and got away, he is armed and dangerous and not to be approached if seen but to contact the police immediately.. His name is David McGloclan i tihnk, must be in the belco area somewhere..

It was a BA GT... my bf saw the car smashed up on the side of the road, then spoke to the cops about it - they said to look out for a guy in a white tracksuit (haha!!)

anyway they seem to have got him this arvo, finally...

Normally,I'm quick to jump to the 'natural selction' defence when people put themselves into a stupid predicament,but how bad must life have to seem to top oneself? Sad...

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
