Geez talk about wind resistance!!!!. Couldnt they have got some decent lights for it.

All cops need is a v6, put on the pressure call in a few more units and u bag a bad guy, or make him drive into a tree, whichever comes first. Most ppl who steal cars cant drive well anyway, otherwise they wouldnt be stealing cars right?

They have priority drivers, basically cops that are trained to be good drivers and are allowed to give pursuit have a priority 1. I think they have a few v8s for these guys still floating around. Also i hear that umm...section 6 (dont quote me) get em too. These are the guys who carry around big firepower and respond before they can get TRG together. So they usually need to get places fast.

Saw one of these cars out the front of fast eddies in the city, didnt see the cops i think they were in plain clothes. The sun was blasting through the tint and they had a big bag full of goodies that go bang on the back seat. Well i hope they were cops :roleyes:

I assume you meant unbiased opinion;)

That's what I gave .

Both cars are terrific but the Rex would be more forgiving and hence faster in inexperienced hands.

On the downside the Rex feels a little fragile compared to the GTR.

If I could get a '96 onwards 4 door GTR I'd trade the REX tomorrow.

In melbounre WRX cop cars have been around for over 5 years. About 4 years ago they were pretty common with most city police cruising around in them. Nowadays, its the outskirts of Melborune like up near the hills and stuff where a lot of guys go for cruises and stuff where they have WRX and Forrester turbo police cars, there nothing special, I seen many a undercover WRX here. Yes they had the HSVGTO cop car here too but thats not around any more. The police here have a Army of SS commodores and XR8 falcons. The undercover XR8s are spectacular, usually optioned up with the nicer rims and bigger brakes etc. Then you get the Highway Patrol cars which looks as if there something out of a computer game, with there custom paintjob and nice stickers, and they are MOSTLY XR8s. The cop who pulld me over in my skyline was a Undercover Traffic cop and he had a XR6 turbo.

They need these cars here otherwise they wouldnt stand a chance in catching guys. Ive been to some cruises here and theres heaps of Bogans in a Falcons, VNs, and VL turbos who will run if the cops even RIGHT up there ass. I mean, over in WA wed be scared of them getting our plates - over here, they dont give a shit if the cops right on there tail. Guys with 10 second VL turbos and stuff (100s of them) pretty easily get away and its only the guys who chicken out and stop that get caught. The cops need the quicker cars to at LEAST catch a few.

By Law, WA police has to drive AU cars.....

Yeah only car I've seen are executive commys, falcons, camry's corollas.

The camrys and corollas have police markings but no lights/sirens.

I once saw a VTSS cop car at a booze bus, I think V8s were ditched soon after.

They don't really need anything bar v6s. I mean they're hardly gutless, both putting out over 160KW now.... I've seen cop cars driven in anger and can't say with their training that i'd be confident in running from them.

Good to see the WRX bashing occurs in every forum, some people won't learn till someone who can drive one rips them hard. WRXs are very competent cars, you just can't drive them with no mercy like a silvia/skyline.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
