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:

yeh just saw that update on channel 9, bloke went to RAH with decent burns to his face and hands lol........ good on him for making the cops look stgupid tho, wats that the 4-5th time this year someone has either stolen from a cop car or the car itself?

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!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
