Well, I knew they were having a few trial runs in the suspension modifed BA XR6T's but I seen something wild Friday night.

A Orange 06 STi chasing a VZ Clubsport along Leach Highway. The STi had a blue light flashing with sirens, whole front had red and blue flashers and 3 ariels on it. Inside contained 2 Police uniformed men.

Does anyone know what they have now?

I read a while back about the poof level of Police driving skills, and the Police wrote a few WRX's off during the trial period!

i couldnt care what cars they have. does it really matter? people shouldnt be doing stupid or seemingly reckless sh*t in front of the public anyway.

as for being chased by an 06 STi, so?? your still gonna pull over eventually anyway arent you. I doubt very much that many people on here would have the balls to intentionally try and outrun the law.

i think its good the cops have some different cars, will get more unsuspecting idiots off the road!

Man I thought this was pretty hardcore when I heard it from a chick whos into cars.

Anyways she had a sleepa sigma (special model?), fully rebuilt it herself, cant recall turb she used anyways she took it out for a spin, took plates off and cops gave chase (note about 3:30 in morning) went down a ally way lights off lost them.

Man belive me if you knew this chick you would know shes not lying, she like has more balls n wits then most blokes I know.

anyways a tale for ya.

Maxium respect to shell dangerous but kick ass driver.

"...people shouldnt be doing stupid or seemingly reckless sh*t in front of the public anyway."

Exactly

The sort of behaviour that these knukleheads exhibit make it that much harder for the responsible import owners. Media reports blow it out of proportion, the politicians adopt it to scare old folks.."vote for me and i'll punish the evil doers" and then we end up with the anti hoon laws. Watch this space people and imagine how much faster this crap will happen when someone gets killed.The entry level 48hr confiscation will go out to 30 days and the fines will go up to match. Youll loose you car for a month for excessive noise or turning the tyres. Someone with too much money will eventually get booked and test this law for but for the rest of us it doesnt look good. Next is this stupid stupid "Dob in a Hoon" legislation which will come into effect in next year. The grumpy and stupid will be out there with their video cameras trying to get tape of "hoons" screwing around. I has always been said of W.A that we are behind the east Coasters, well if you want to see the future check out the stories of EPA fines, defects, and "allowable" modification on the other "State" boards. I think I might trade my R for a hotrod...just joking

Orange :laugh: But I guess its not blue.

The word 'stupidity' comes to mind. Someone who intentionally drives like this is not a kick ass or a hardcore driver - they are an idiot who is endangering other peoples lives as well as their own. How often do we hear of innocent families killed because someone in a high speed chase collides with them? I don't believe anyone should glorify this kind of behaviour on these forums.

i've been told buy a mate that is a cop that they have a vz clubsport black which has been dumped bit of engine work it is drive between rockingham and perth every day wit undercover cops in it monday to friday and uniform cops on the weekend it was even at the drags a few weeks ago it's designed to blend in with othe cars in the scene

"...it was even at the drags a few weeks ago it's designed to blend in with othe cars in the scene"

*starts making calls* mmmm I was wondering why that comode was trying to stage with the back wheels :laugh: If this is the right car it is the replacement for Tango-1. A gift from GMHolden to the W.A. Police for use in road safety. The new car is now operated by a charity called Beat The Heat, modeled on a yanky deal and run by officers with the support of the Police, GM and local tuners who wrench the car.

In all seriousness the W.A Police force have always owned "undercover" highway cars, in particular non standard issue brands and models. If you ask the right old timers they will tell the tale of the Falcon XWGT that was the scourge of the south west back in the day, right up through the first incarnation of the W.A highway patrol in the late 70's (the RTA) with their hot falcons..with RTA plates LOL. This practice has gone in and out of vogue with the Force over the years but it seems like its coming back once again. So, the idea of the W.A. plods using a WRX is not that original as they were tested and adopted over east a few years ago. Dont know about breaking off a chase at a particular speed but these days the descision can be over ruled by a disconnected voice in East Perth to ensure the adrenaline doesnt kick in too hard and the whole show ends in tears. In the end you cant out run these new helicopters anyway so why try!

the people who steal the cars of the people here probably have the balls though .....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
