I watched the first episode, wasnt too bad. The best bit i thought was if you noticed in the background when they were talking to the bikie guy, there was a silver Astra driving across the nature strip to do a U turn.

I think what is going to happen is that they are going to play up each situation a bit more for TV. The reason i say it is because last year i was talking to one of the guys i used to deal with at work. He is a fabricator and was saying the man he uses to repairs his machines is based in NZ. He comes over a few times a year to service the machines. What he does is bring the component parts in his carry on luggage. Had been doing it for years with absolutely no problem from customs. But one day he came in, they were filming, they pulled him up, made a big deal of it and wouldnt let him in to the country. He had to have the parts shipped back to NZ, and he had to fly back. So the same will happen i reckon. Highway Patrol is not an interesting job, so each situation they have they are going to have to make the most of to keep the show going.

Cant wait to see an episode based on young kids/fast cars. I live just behind fitzroy st, so im betting a few dollars i show up somewhere, even though I drive like my nan haha

LOL that's gold.

the other thing i found funny was when the cop said that when she was doing 151km/h the car would be screaming its head off and she should be able to hear it easily, as if, maybe if she was in a hyundai excel. i lol'd at that comment for a while.

asif a bmw would be screaming at that speed... made for the autobahn ;)

I live 5mins from chapel, and have never had issues, but i avoid the actual street in the 32, stagea FTW

I think the only import owners who will end up on the show will be the idiot muzzas on chapel or around acland st... and i agree the NZ show is better!

Exactly right, Fingers crossed the show doesnt gain a massive following, the last thing we want is for it to stay on TV for years and end up as over blown and ridiculous like COPS.....

if they expanded it to being more than just traffic cops then it would be a better show, but then it would be "behind the line" not "highway patrol".

Maybe just give them a mobile phone, and hope that they'd stop :P

a mate of mine from trade school recently bought a red minitruck from this guy... and the guy said he was defected a while back and there was a camera crew that got the whole thing... was in st.kilda

so maybe that will be on there, aparently he gave a bit of a show of the minitruck's tricks for the camera when the cops told him not too haha

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
