they've finally done it boys.

Melbourne officially has its very own highway patrol show, saw a glimpse of the commercial and saw alot of hoon action and you guessed it....skylines.

looks like this ones a must to watch.

Premiering Monday, September 21 8pm on Channel Seven

Take a seat and buckle-up; it's going to be a wild ride with the new Channel Seven series MELBOURNE'S HIGHWAY PATROL.

MELBOURNE'S HIGHWAY PATROL takes a rare fly-on-the-wall glimpse into the working lives of the Victorian police officers who spend their days striving to keep our roads safe.

From high-speed chases to violent conflicts and catching speeding drivers to investigating crash scenes, officers of the Victoria Police Traffic Units spend each day on the front line.

These officers are passionate about their work, proud of what they do on a daily basis and invite viewers into their remarkable world in MELBOURNE'S HIGHWAY PATROL.

Seven Head of Factual Programming Dan Meenan said HIGHWAY PATROL was a great complement to Seven's high-performing portfolio of observational docudramas:

"In the tradition of such successful shows like Border Security and The Force, MELBOURNE'S HIGHWAY PATROL puts the viewers right in the thick of things. It's non-stop action right from the start."

MELBOURNE'S HIGHWAY PATROL was produced by Greenstone Pictures for Channel Seven with the cooperation of Victoria Police.

any thoughts??

im looking forward to it. just like RUSH, melbourne based crime show's are awesome.

but then of course it will hit the chaple street scene, and it will be like that sydney one where the cops get abused by the thugs who own the fully sick vl's. it will make melbourne's car scene look bad if they only show the idiot tools heads doing stupid shit.

like if they got a call out to out SAU photo shoot a while ago at the docklands, film crew on toe, could publicly broadcast not all import drivers are hoons and idiots. but that wont get their ratings up i suppose

that would be a good idea, but like you just stated, it wont get there ratings up...so all they are going to show is people hooning and make it worse for us import drivers...im looking forward to watching it, but not looking forward to the impact its going to make.

:)

Love the fact that it is up against that "hoon show" on SBS.

Which one? & What time?

Haven't being up with the times as I haven't watched any free to air TV for years (internet stream TV FTW).

Anyway keen to checking this sh*t out tonight :)

Do I have bets on which car(s) is gonna pop up the most? Imports or Falcodores?

I reckon we should have bets on which twit from SAU turns up on the show first lol.

Can only do bad for us all...I mean, as has been said, real-life drama shows like this rely on the bad stuff to keep people interested. It will just expose the "need" for more hoon legislation and wasted money. I hate that our road toll is slightly lower than last year. I know that sounds bad, but I really don't like our state government to think this insignificant difference has anything to do with the excessive amounts of money they've spent trying to reduce it. When the road toll lowers they claim credit for it, but when it stays the same or increases they blame it on something else or say the implementation needs time to take effect. I would love and vote for a government who comes out and says they f**ked up.

I remember late last year seeing a Commodore pulled over by a couple of police cars and one of the cops was carrying a television camera...it looked so suss I thought it was a drug bust or something. I'm guessing it was for this show.

Looks like its 1 for the falcodores already...

yeah they have a form or something you sign to give them the right to show the face. On the add's Hamish the only skyline i saw looked like yours.

I didnt think they had to since it is filmed in a public place.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
