Nice pics! :cheers: I've seen the R34 GTT cop car in the metal, there's one that patrols on the expressway near me. The majority of the expressway cop cars I've seen though are un-marked, usually 4 door R34's.

Round town, they tend to use Toyota crowns, but each prefecture is free to choose their own police cars and some prefectures have better tastes than others (namely mine!) :cheers:

Always wondered what the plastic screen on the bonnet is for? Can't be good for aerodynamics that...

just curious.... what is that thing where the car makers badge normally goes?

The polics's emblem, crest, sheild whatever you call it. You find it outside police stations, on police boxes etc.

The police here are pretty good, you can drive just about anything and not get pulled over. that includes trucks with more lights than a xmas tree, vans with wings bigger than most planes and modded cars with exhausts the size of sewage pipes and blow off valves loud enough to wake the dead and deafen the living!!! :cheers:

Though, I have never seen a commodore in Japan, so I can't comment on that. Come to think of it, I've never, ever, seen a commodore!

lol, wow. No wonder the japanese are so far into making there cars ridiculously fast. Cuz the cops are bloody fast!!!!! I remember when the australian police were trialing the wrx out. They got rid of them cuz they kept crashing them but they were awesome for chasing. They're bogans at heart the police are!! They've switched to SS utes and SS sedans as well as holden astra turbos. No wonder they hate us import drivers!!

are they common in every states in Japan or only those states with lotsa performance vehicles?

AFAIK each prefecture here is free to spend it's budget on whatever cars they see fit. The majority of the city patrol cars in my prefecture are Toyota crowns, though there are several R34 GTT's, 4 door, unmarked patrolling the expressway near me and I've also see a black/white GTT. I've yet to see a GTR cop car though...

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
