those hummers are only H3's, not much bigger than a pajero lol.... the riot squad Nissan Patrols are the real deal though.... and its not like the Germans and Austrians don't have their equivalent of kangaroos over there, so they use a thing called fences to stop animals from crossing their highways....I know its a new concept for Australia, but a fence would do the job..... and not a dodgey wire fence, wire isn't a fence, its wire lol. why don't we do it here, its not like our government doesn't waste money on other stupid things....?

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...

Then who do you expect to enforce the law?

When there is a party with a few hundred/thousand people outside your house smashing shit up are you going to sort it out yourself or will you be thankful when the riot squad turns up with their fully stocked 4x4s?

Bog standard SS or XR motors.

So they dont have interceptor packs anymore..police cars have always had better packages id be surprised if they are different now..even the standard cars get fatter tyres and sports suspension, i reckon there'd be a few engine mods there too.

About as far as mode went were the old BT9 packs on Holdens. Remove some soundproofing, removed gates from auto transmission, FE2 suspension and SS interior and shithouse steel 15 inch rims.. There never have been engine mods.

BUMMER!!!!!!!

the reason why australia does not have autobahns is because they wernt built in the first place and also australians dont like spending money and to opperate the autobahn and maintane it costs huge amounts of money. they have tolls frequently on them.

although when i was on it i was on a bus and looked out the window to see the police lambo murchilago (sp) drive past. was pretty cool.

hahahah omg i think i get what your trying to say but the highlighted part made me laugh lol...

but the government wastes our tax money on heaps of useless things.... an autobahn isn't useless though, seing as our states along the east are so spread apart and the land and money is there why not build a straighter road with more than 2 lanes.... really in this day and age with the technology and the money Australia has, why do we need stupid turns and corners on our interstate freeways? Yes they pay tolls in Europe to maintain their autobahns.... but we pay stupid tolls here in NSW to maintain motorways that are congested, overpriced and dangerous to drive on because they are privately owned and are not maintained properly anyway....

Besides in Europe the tolls are not that expensive anyway, the gf's cousin in austria says they pay about $100 a year for unlimmited use of the autobahns in a year.... thats allot cheaper than even travilling from the west to the city of sydney and back for 2 days....

there have been engine mods and i believe there still is our family friend who is a police offer bought an ex undercover police car and that had a lot more go then factory.

lol he bought an ex cop car...... life expectancy isn't very good after being thrashed its whole life on cold starts and what not

Sorry, They are modded then. You get a whole lot of extras.

Drill holes in the dash and floor.

Extra grippy brake discs due to increased friction of heats cracks

Super loose auto transmission for faster shifts.

Custom paint thanks to markings and rook lights.

If you get the delux ones you my even get he high performance RBT tubes and rubber gloves stuff unders your punctured and sneakily plugged spare tyre.

well i based my theory of expensive tolls on some documentry i have seen on the discovery channel haha. maybe they have alot more people using the roads than we do wich offsets the costs?

yeah that first line of mine is a bit silly but you get what i mean. if they did make one they would have to go around towns and shit like that. cant build a assive highway that will go straight through a place like byron or whatever. the locals would not allow it.

We just get commodores with mobile radar and numberplate scanning technology instead.

lol no idea what role the concept car will have lol, it can't even go on a road unless its dead flat lol...... good for doing highway patroll on an airport runway lol.... thats about it.

"hey you in the 747, do you know why I pulled you over? doing 312km/hr in a 60 zone!!!" lol

lol the rexy patrol car.... boy did they die in the ass, i remember the coppers saying they were going to use the wrx to keep up with the street racing/tuner/import croweds and so they couldn't be out run anymore.... lol then a couple months later they were winging about how crap the gear boxes were during a pursuit (stripping 2 gears at a time lol)

The GTO is abit scary on a straight line though

From what i have heard also our main highways are in much better condition than alot of there open limit freeway,

Also about the fences idea, you do realize a grown kangaroo can clear a 6 foot fence pretty easily, and the little ones are pretty good at crawling under them..its alot easier to stop a moose or whatever animals they have in germany

Another thought that came to mind today while i was daydreaming...if there was open limit from say for eg...melbourne to sydney,.. the road is good enough for it...you could get to sydney probably in under 5 hours...now when you factor in the time to get to the airport , park your car, check in your luggage and self, await departure and then repeat the whole process at the other end it takes 4-5 hours ..why would u bother when you could drive there as quick and have more fun in the process...Anyway my point is plane companies could potentially lose out..proabably has no relevance to anything but it was just a thought

We should have autobahns just so we can be cooler than germany, if for no other reason..

While we are at it to beat the nurburg ring, Tasmania should just be a fulltime racetrack

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove 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?
