hey i saw the the r34 gtr on sunday nite that thing was crazieee  

2 asian guys had euro number plates with volks  

we had mad fun on parra rd arund 2-3am he was pretty craziee running my mates s15 chopping him obviously.........

lookeed crazy man it was a r34gtr v-spec 2 young guys man max 25 highlight of my long weekend

I know the owner, we cruised with him a couple of weeks ago, very nice car :)

i know a guy that ran from a defect station... as they waved him in he pulled in and dropped a gear and took off in an R33 gts-t. the cops took off after him. he went through 2 red lights and the cops got him.. they throu him on the bonnet and started saying... you could not even out run us in a 4wd GTR. "he had Fake GTR Badges on His car.

poor guy got nail by cops and got foun d out about his fake GTR.

good to watch thou...

yeh trying to outrun cops in a car is a little difficult, maybe at 2am with no other traffic on the road and you know the area REALLY well

but even then, unless you got warrants out on you (which means u should be out and about anyway) just pull over

IF it were a motorbike on the other hand

now thats another story :)

yeah..but everytime you do it, the risk of actually getting caught or them calling for backup are pretty strong. These days with video cameras monitoring pretty much every road, and cops able to call for helicopter backup, you'd want to be making sure the cop just couldn't be bothered after the inititial squirt.

and what happens if some knob walks out on the road as you're "buzzing" as you're getting away from the cops.. you don't think too well when you're under pressure.. you'll be regretting that for the rest of your life.

the way the cops screw you these days for nothing, u r sometimes better off running and getting scewed anyway if they catch ya!

Now if we could only get real criminals to drive sports cars and run from the cops then they might get stopped and the cops might actually do some good and catch them instead of innocent motorist.

A mate of mine is a cop and he catches people in faster cars all the time because he is a better driver. I've been out on the track with him and he is just amazingly smooth. I don't suppose all cops are as good as him but there would be afair few out there, particularly in Highway Patrol.

I guess the other thing anyone being chased by him would have against them is the fact that his nick name to the other coppers is Mad Max! He didn't get that for no reason.

Oh and btw Knore, I've been in the car when we chased and caught a guy on a ZZR600 purely due to his lack of skill.

look running aint a good thing.

but, i've sure thought about it... one night i nearly did. I was only 10 mins from home, knew the area ridiclously well, it was 3am in the morning on the way home from a cruise actually.

If the car wasnt in dire need of a new fuel pump i doubt i would have stopped to be honest.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
