Around 8pm today I was dropping off my mate in eastern suburbs and I spotted tons of cops barricading all roads and side streets around norwood parade, portrush and kensington road... anyone knows what was going on?

other things in news today: 

police chase involving stolen skyline

police chase involving stolen cop car

another police chase in northern suburbs

...but nothing in that area  :laugh:

Haha, no shit they were everywhere! I got pulled over, harassed to all hell with the cops telling me I was speeding and taking "racing lines" around corners; funny that considering they literally just spotted me then chucked a u bolt and pulled me over. I was lucky though, even though they gave me a hard time and had me by the balls defect wise, I kept my cool and they let me go. Funny thing is, just as they left, a Holden pulled up behind me, stopped, did a massive burnout then drifted a corner trying to look like a hero, just wish the cops came back and did him!

Just goes to show manners go a long way and they DEFINATELY use an attitude test on people they pull over. Officers, if you are reading this, thank you :laugh:

i think you're right.......... the equipment in those cars costs as much as the car itself

more my mate got his hands on the old style laser guns and they went to great measures to get it back claiming just the gun was worth 40k pretty sure a commo is only worth about 30k

WOW, I saw this car with 4 cop cars chasing him around 2km from the Montague Road intersection as I was travelling the other way on Bridge Road yesterday.

Saw the commo coming the other way and thought "damn he is going fast" - no way was he only doing 120km/h - the commo sounded pretty worked and was revving off its tits as it blasted the opposite direction past me.

So .... he collected other cars when he got to the Montague Road intersection - I knew by the speed he was doing he was going to get himself and others in trouble. Not something you see every day ....

You never hear about car chases down South! But remember the car chase from about a year or 2 ago where a stolen R32 GTR was running from the cops from Elizabeth or somewhere right up North alllll the way down to Christies Beach, where he popped a tire on the Esplanade near the beach and got arrested! I remember watching it on TV.

They had the footage of this white 32 GTR just flying down South road and about 4 cop cars chasing it. They gave up when speeds reached over 200 (no joke) and brought in the helicopter. The chase only stopped when he burst a tire on a curb!

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
