Nice pics! :cheers: I've seen the R34 GTT cop car in the metal, there's one that patrols on the expressway near me. The majority of the expressway cop cars I've seen though are un-marked, usually 4 door R34's.

Round town, they tend to use Toyota crowns, but each prefecture is free to choose their own police cars and some prefectures have better tastes than others (namely mine!) :cheers:

Always wondered what the plastic screen on the bonnet is for? Can't be good for aerodynamics that...

just curious.... what is that thing where the car makers badge normally goes?

The polics's emblem, crest, sheild whatever you call it. You find it outside police stations, on police boxes etc.

The police here are pretty good, you can drive just about anything and not get pulled over. that includes trucks with more lights than a xmas tree, vans with wings bigger than most planes and modded cars with exhausts the size of sewage pipes and blow off valves loud enough to wake the dead and deafen the living!!! :cheers:

Though, I have never seen a commodore in Japan, so I can't comment on that. Come to think of it, I've never, ever, seen a commodore!

lol, wow. No wonder the japanese are so far into making there cars ridiculously fast. Cuz the cops are bloody fast!!!!! I remember when the australian police were trialing the wrx out. They got rid of them cuz they kept crashing them but they were awesome for chasing. They're bogans at heart the police are!! They've switched to SS utes and SS sedans as well as holden astra turbos. No wonder they hate us import drivers!!

are they common in every states in Japan or only those states with lotsa performance vehicles?

AFAIK each prefecture here is free to spend it's budget on whatever cars they see fit. The majority of the city patrol cars in my prefecture are Toyota crowns, though there are several R34 GTT's, 4 door, unmarked patrolling the expressway near me and I've also see a black/white GTT. I've yet to see a GTR cop car though...

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
