Wonder how long it will be till they are involved in a high speed pursiut and loose it or prang it, who foots the repair bill then............. my guess would be the tax payers

Doubt they'll use it in a pursiut, stritcly a community liason thing.

Weatherill Park police have rex (could be an sti), that they use and you'd be suprised at the amount of "hoons" who go up and have a chat to cops when they park the thing where "hoons" gather.

Pretty good idea i think.

And, the police force definately don't pay for the cars, they're loaners. I know of one case, where Mazda, gave a station a brand new 6 MPS, and it was t-boned in a week :-)

How exactly do you ram a car that is pursuing you from behind, can out brake, out corner and out accelerate most of the cars on the road?

Figure of speech...

Well, if the cops pull up side by side with the "criminals", all they have to do is swing the steering hard to the right!

Or...

Slam on the brakes and watch the Exige become crushed under the crims car...

Maybe I've been watching too many Hollywood movies... :D

what if theyre on the left?

then you look like a fool, unless you are doing it to get extra momentum so when you hit them they go flying into a gutter, jump 10 feet into the air and land in the back of a track carrying hay and no-one gets hurt...... well thats how it goes in the movies.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
