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.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
