I was driving from a little st comming onto chapel st, in melbourne. I gunned it a little comming to chappel st, and there happen to be 3 protective services cars, and they were just chatting away outside their cars. I then turned onto chapel st, and quickly turned into another little st of chappel to hide. Within a few secs these guys drove out of the st, but didnt get caught.

When i seen then i s**t myself cause these guys wear the cop uniform.

Just wondering if anyone know what they're role is, and can they bust you for anything on your car like exhaust and noise etc.

Cheers guys!

Protective Services = Feds

They look after security for venues and officials (heads of state etc). They couldn't give a crap about you on Chaps - it's all the other Po-pos in South Yarra you should worry about.

Yep nothing to fear there....

They could have detained you indefinately @ our governments pleasure or accidentally gunned you down because you neglected to shave that morning.

But they can't defect you or give you a traffic violation so np's ay!!! :):P:yes:

I'm not sure whether they are Fed's Jameszilla.

I thought the were just govt. employed security guards, with stickered up cars & fancy eppalauettes.

They used to sit out front of my work every day as there was a couple of embassys in the building.

The real "feds" were there on and off in their unmarked V8 statesmans.

Australian Protective Services are part of the Australian Federal Police. They do have the same power essentially as an AFP officer, even slightly more in some cases. But they couldnt give two rats about your car. The worst they would do is dob you into the local police station.

maybe next time connect the brain to the right foot before your ego says "gun it" in a side road while doing chap laps. Then you won't have to worry who the f**k they are.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
