I have a highly ranked traffic cop and a good long term mate who is training to be a traffic cop at the moment.

The rules shocked me a bit! Police can do ANY speed they want IF the conditions are not putting any other road users lifes or safety at risk, under the condition that they have NOT engaged lights or sirens. They may do ANY speed to get to you, but once they engage/call through a chase, it's a maximum of 40km/h over the legal speed limit.

Had my fair share of Police chases. Stupid stupid days. I've realised how f**ken much of a tool I was!

There's the old gokart track (Big Track) in Bayswater just next to Tonkin Hwy.. someone should look into turning it into a drift track where we can go and burn some rubber not on public streets :)

wow didn't know that either. once awhile ago this highway patrol car would have easily been doing double the speed limit on residential roads to catch up to me at around 5pm when all the kids are out...

It's a sweet track, when it was open it was the first place I went gokarting at and it was wet at the time. The guys were all like "no being stupid out there now" but after a few laps of watching us get completely sideways round every corner they were cheering us on!

But yeah, I've always wanted to get a car on there and tossed this idea round before. Would require lots of badgering of the council I'd say and a pretty hefty insurance premium but I would love to help out however I can. Good Luck!

Morley karts yeah?

My grandad was very involved in starting gokarting in wa and helped build a go kart track that used to be right next to burswood train/casino! Imagine that! Anyway, I'll see if he can help!!

May need to be widened a little.. :(

or we could all build some of these.. insane. I got a vid at home of the GSXR powered kart but I can't find a vid online.. filename should be something like gixxerkart.wmv if someone has more time than me :)

SR32: Big Track is in Bayswater, you can just see it on the west side of the Tonkin Hwy near the Collier Rd intersection :)

Ok kool, I'll ask him for help!

Would be awesome.

You guys know Drift WA has 2 drift events planned for Collie next year?

Dates are in April and probably October. Basic training will be available to those that want it from instructors on the skid pan and then onto the track.

This 160 km/h stuff is BS, they just don't call it in or fail to report their speed. I know plenty of people who bragged about going 180+ and the coppers keep chasing. They are the law, they do what they want. All these 'oh no they cant chase me cause of this blah blah' is just out in the public to keep the old people happy. You can't whinge if they say its a law, not that they ever follow it ?

Ive mellowed alot lately, but its fair to say I would at one time live by the motto "never stop"

***edited***

These days with the police driving performance vehicles the odds of getting away are slimmer.

These days i keep my stupid shit to the track :laugh:

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
