Saving will be from not hiring the track from MSW

That may be the case. However, it was not what I was quoting and referring to. The spokesperson said savings would be made because they did not have to travel to and from collie. Nothing mentioned about the costs in hiring the track.

Guess it depends on the finer details.

Cant see them doing this on the freeway etc....it will be closed off roads somewhere away from the public etc.

Hope so. :thumbsup: However original article was published some time ago, no more details so far.

I recall few years ago guy in Excel managed to get away from at least two police cars.

Maybe its been decided to not go any further?

Police will abort a pursuit the moment it gets too dangerous/deadly to anyone (themself, public or suspected criminal) and this can be deemed several ways....so again, with out knowing the complete story of that certain pursuit, it would be hard to comment much further on why or how the Excel driver got away from 2 police vehicles. My guess is it was not due to the driving skill of the police involved IF that is what you were implying.

And, have you spoken to anyone about your concerns on this matter? Be it politians at any levels or the Police dept/commisioners office etc??

Maybe. Don't know. I don't work for the police or for the media.

I don't have enough information, only what media has provided at that point of time. If my memory serves me correctly, I also recall that at least one police vehicle was crashed during that pursuit and a dog (?) was injured and taken to the vet. I would like to think that if someone wants to know more and he or she approaches Department of Police, they would gladly provide all the details to that individual.

And no, I wasn't talking about driving skills of the police officers involved in that particular chasing. However, better training would not hurt any of us.

And, have you spoken to anyone about your concerns on this matter? Be it politians at any levels or the Police dept/commisioners office etc??

No, I have not. Current version of so called "Anti hoon law" is more important for me at this stage. But thank you for the idea, I might approach them in the near future.

Be careful - you wishes may come true. I read in the magazine that some bikie clubs aren't accepting the applications from pedophiles and people who were in police force (interesting point of view at least), so you may close that opportunity for yourself forever :-P

Why do certain people on this forum have such an anti-cop attitude, they serve a job, some are dicks, some arent we don't need to bitch about it all day every day.

At least dan is keeping a somewhat unbiased mind to this conversation.

Oh and Bard.

Seriously.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
