Yes i have also seen the black hummer. I tried overtaking him as he was doing 80kph on motorway, as soon as i tried his blue and red lights came on. I pulled over and he kept going. I dropped a picnic bar out my boxers! I was lucky, he may have got called away at the same moment. So be careful dudes!

wow, slightly off topic, but I have been out of the car scene for a year or two and just getting back into it again... god damn it must suck to be a P plater! Drivin with one of my mates little brothers today in his 33 non turbo pulled over 3 times between capalaba and ipswich rd by cops searchin for a turbo under the bonnet. Not quite sure half of them know what there looking at, one of them searched for a good 5 minutes for a turbo when it was plainly obvious it doesnt have one fromt he moment you open the bonnet. Anyways... happy to be on my opens :ninja:

Also a normal cop car can only do 170Klms at the max before they have to drop of because the lights cause too much drag in undercover cop cars not sure.

my uncle's a cop.

he told me that after 180km they have 2 stop, pull over for a couple of seconds, an turn off their lights.

because it's way to dangerous, some1 could b killed, and it would be the police's fault.

so i dunno wether it's tru or not, he's gotten a few things wrong b4.

i always try and prove him wrong lmao

Well I can only think of two ways to prove him right or wrong on that one, and at least one of them I wouldn't suggest lol

i could not see officer plod pulling over and waiting whist in pursuit

he has "raw emotion"

One of my Mates' Supra is supposed to be speed limited to 180.... "supposed to" and will/are are two separate terms.

Of course he only tests this on a track.......... :)

The only time I ever heard anything in relation to speed limited police vehicles were the old BMW motorbikes. They were not recommended to travel above 130 because of the saddle bag set up but that's complete bollocks about the cars.

When a pursuit is terminated police are pull to the side of the road and come to a complete stop. They are then supposed to carry out a test of equipment over the vehicle.

Police can do whatever speed they want but must justify their decisions should anything go wrong as they are always held accountable. Any pursuit where a police vehicle goes over 30kph above the speed limit must be investigated.

Hi guys, does anyone know if it is illegal to post pics of cop cars parked outside stations?

I was passing a station today and there was a few D cars parked, had my camera but didn't take any snaps. A pic is worth a thousand words.

I don't, however want to do anything against the law or rules here.

Well i can confirm that undercover are aloud to go way over 170-180.. not revealing how i know that though :P

Well in my experience the com-co. controls the persuit. The lead car calls speed, traffic & road conditions in the interest of safety, for both the crew & the public (and offender) and the nearest available marked car is allocated the lead.

Most patrol & 'unmarked' cars are incapable of speeds much over 160kph, one reason is because the beads break loose on the tyres, so persuit cars are allocated the lead. Should the com-co. consider the the persuit 'dangerous', then the code 2 is called off or slowed down. Don't know of any 'checks' or 'investigations' unless a department vehicle has been damaged or an injury has taken place during a persuit.

A bit too much tv maybe..

But then what do I know.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
