I guess we don't piss away our tax payers money as much as the Euros? HWP get to drive F6's and SS's... hardly anything to complain about.

Im pretty sure an 800hp gtr could outrun it :blink:

The aussie police cars are nothing to sneeze at , V8 commys arent exactly slow..

As well as that germany also have autobahns, there is no reason for police here to even have the overpowered cars they do..

Make em all drive corollas i say, ..,they are quick enuf and more friendly to the environment as well...And we would be paying less taxmoney to fuel the suckers..

Give me one reason why our police need these huge cars...

same goes for taxis...

Falcadores are built in Australia, so it would seem logical that the Government would want to purchase locally made cars to support local manufacturing.

As for the taxis, things are changing. I've seen several hybrids being used as taxis around Melbourne.

yeah thats a fair point, taxis should be cars that use less fuel.... hybrids are a rought though, a 1.6 litre VW golf produces less C02 emissions than a toyota prius, and the golf takes off much faster.... then the diesel version produces even less C02 and its still faster than a prius lol.

And ofcorse a 800hp GTR should out run the CLS.... seeing as the cls has 730hp, but then again it does produce 1100nm of torque and has a 7 speed electronic gear box and it is crowned the Fastest sedan car ever made..... i'd love to see that showdown on Munichs autobahns.

And another point, why don't we have autobahns, Australia is one of the biggest countries with the most sparse population and it has the least amount of people living in it per square kilometer, we are the driest continent in the world (excluding antarctica), and we are the flattest continent with an average elevation of only 16 meters above sea level..... brings me back to a new point of WHY DON'T WE HAVE AUTOBAHNS???? If the Germans can learn to keep the inside lane free for overtaking only, i'm pretty sure we could learn...

Then their would be a point to having nearly all of NSW race tracks closing down lol

fair enough i change my topic.... Why doesn't the Australian East Coast have Autobahns then....

Linking, Brizzy, Syd, Melb and maybe Adelaide and most places inbetween? Re-educate the drongos to keep left unless overtaking, while doing this people don't have to take the dangerous roads that seem to have bends in it for no reason and people tend to die on the preexisting intercity linking roads that are grossly too small to handle the traffic flows and they have useless bends and corners in them....

SHould we go into the next election with that campaign??? lol

Because you can't carry two police, and all the gear in a small car. The higher performance cars are needed so they can catch up to vehicles. If you approach a car in a 100 zone that is doing 140 and then have to slow, wait for a gap, turn and then chase that car, you dont want to be doing it in a Corolla.

Funny ^^^ no dispute about all the gear nowadays...

...but I remember in the late '60s when 2 types of Police cars were roaming the streets of Sydney at both extremes in size.

1) Mini Cooper S with 2 cops in it. The comic artists used to have a field day back then.

You do know the toyota plant is in Laverton, im not certain they make corollas but i know the make camrys there

And yeah ive seen those hybrids too, apparently they are getting good milage too a few have over half a miilion kms and havent had any problems

And ofcorse a 800hp GTR should out run the CLS.... seeing as the cls has 730hp, but then again it does produce 1100nm of torque and has a 7 speed electronic gear box and it is crowned the Fastest sedan car ever made..... i'd love to see that showdown on Munichs autobahns.

f**k yeah!!!

Whats even worse is that the hume hwy is better quality road than what the germanians are doin twice the speed on

I think a big part of what may be stopping them is these critters called Kangaroos, have u seen the pics of the Z4 that hit a roo at 220kmph.. plus cause we are so vast if someone has a major accident out in woop woop..they will be long dead b4 anyone finds them..

also the highway patroll v8's are loaded up with so much heavy equipment that they really arnt all that quick compared to the standard version of the ss and xr8's

They are also loaded up with better engine packages i believe..They are not loaded with any more equipment than your average doof doof mobile anyway

has Sydney got Hummer police cars yet, Ive seen them in melb

Apparently they are to combat weekend violence, guns, batons, mase, tazers, and the backup of a small army arent enough to tackle a few drunken yobs anymore, apparently they have to run them over as well now.

No doubt there is heaps, but what difference is a hummer supposed to make?

Is it just meant to look scary?

Or were they donated by hummer as a publicity stunt?

I dunno, i think its all out of control, police should be upholding the peace, not enforcing the law...

But if everybody else is driving around in v8s and hummer then they may as well to...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      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

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
