Heap of coppers on the road today as well!

Went for a quick drive cos my car had recently got re-registered and thought I'll go up the beaches.

Saw a 300zx pulled over by HWP with bonnet open near Mona Vale and blue lights near MV hotel and decided it was time to go home.

Just got home. Between Castle Hill & Pennant Hills, I saw 8!!!! HWP's.... 8!!!..

Thankfully none of the, saw/heard me. I found a convenient truck who preferred the right lane, so I tucked in next to him on the hidden side

Good thinking 99

ran into some 'random' breath test unit in the city that had pulled over 3 jap cars all with custom plates, wheels, paint etc. we were in one of them and after the breath test they started checking out the car. also a defect unit in the rocks but that's nothing new.

I went for a drive up the F3 last night.

Half way between the Berowra off-ramp and the Mooney Mooney exit, there were 8 highway patrol cars parked on the southbound side. At first I thought 2 of them had pulled a cruise over, but as I went past I saw all that all the cars were cop cars (aside from 1 unmarked. I assume its unmarked, or that must have been one dangerous Commodore driver to have 7 pursuit vehicles chase him down and pull him over).

On the way back south they were still there, but as I got to the Berowra on-ramp half of them blew past me doing at least 130km/hr.

I went down Epping Road a bit later, and some guy in a soft roader had been pulled over by a regular duties car and 2 paddy wagons.

I later got RBT'ed (yeah, right) by a regular duties car as I went up the Pacific Highway on the north shore on the way home.

Are they looking for a bunch of armed robbers driving high performance imports or something? Is Toretto's gang back in business? Because it looks like f**king overkill to me. 3 cars to pull over 1 Vitara (and they weren't even boxing the car in, he was just pulled up at a set of lights).

saw heaps in the city last night, massive defect station on the way into the rocks and another rbt setup where everyone used to park.... soo much cop activity.

No i wasnt crusing i was in mums birdshit covered Vectra :D

Apprently they were in a WRX and armed robbed some shop around the city I think. Well thats what my friend told me when he was listening to the scanner. :

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
