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.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
