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...

    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
    • 75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive. 
    • Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof
    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
