Man leads police on wild chase

Several officers have been injured and police vehicles damaged when a driver menaced a motorist on a western Sydney motorway then tried to run from the law.

Police said a 19-year-old man was driving a Nissan Skyline on the M4 at Homebush at about 11pm (AEDT) on Saturday when another man, driving a Mitsubishi Lancer began tailgating his car, flashing his high beam lights.

The menacing behaviour continued for up to 30 minutes as the cars drove west along the motorway.

The 19-year-old man called police and was told to leave the motorway and make his way to the nearest police station, at St Marys.

When he stopped in King Street outside St Marys Police Station, the Lancer driver drove to the end of the road and performed a burnout, attracting the police's attention.

Officers directed the driver to stop but when he refused, they pursued him along the Great Western Highway before terminating the chase in Stafford Street, Penrith.

During the pursuit, the driver collided with a trailer towed by a car at the intersection of the Great Western Highway and Parker Street at Penrith.

No one was injured.

A short time later, police patrolling in York Road at nearby Jamisontown saw the Lancer being driven erratically and overtaking cars on the wrong side of the road.

They followed the Lancer into the dead end Regentville Road where they positioned their two unmarked police cars to stop the driver.

But, instead of stopping, the driver drove between the cars, crashing with both, before travelling onto Tench Avenue, prompting a second police chase.

In Jeanette Street, Regentville, the motorist did a U-turn and drove directly at three pursuing police cars causing substantial damage to all of them.

The man then repeatedly reversed and accelerated towards the police cars while officers tried to remove him from his car, using capsicum spray to subdue him.

A 23-year-old Riverwood man has been charged with 16 offences.

They include: drive dangerously, menacing driving, perform burnout and drive vehicle recklessly/furiously, stalk/intimidate to intend fear of physical/mental harm, use weapon to avoid apprehension, refuse to undergo breath test, intimidate police and common assault.

His licence has been suspended and his car confiscated.

A 16-year-old was also arrested but later released without charge.

A number of officers who were in the police cars involved in the incident suffered minor back injuries and bruising but none required medical treatment.

Four police cars were damaged in the incident.

So in the title of this thread you have "19-year-old man was driving a Nissan Skyline".....now putting that in the thread title makes it sound as if the guy driving the Skyline was the culprit....

Yes what a dickbrain lancer driver....must have been high on drugs or something at the time to ram and mangle 4 police cars....

lol I know its a misleading title & I was thinking the same thing about the skyline driver being the culprit when i read it im surprised at the media for once the skyline wasnt labeled.

The media did label the skyline.. the article heading was more than enough.

    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
    • Yeah, well I was probably way underguessing the $300 figure anyway. Just multiplied a "normal" by 4 for the purposes of pointing out it's not cheap, particularly if it has to be repeated.
    • We have an alignment shop out here that does what you're talking about but he wants like 800 AUD a pop. DIY is "cheaper" but once you start accounting for the value of your time I'm not sure it's worth it.
    • The main catch phrase for any car is "the eye of the beholder", and "personal tastes and preferences" And as for the plastic "flares", I honestly think they look cheap and tacky, and I cannot see them aging well, maybe if they were body colour they might look better to my eyes, but, I would still prefer it the were more like the older WRX STI models that had the wider body metal panels In saying all this 5hit, I wouldn't buy a new WRX again, even if it had the wide body metal panels
