Nice pics! 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!)

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_Paladin]

you reckon they harass people driving Commodore Aussie imports??

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!!!

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!!

[sammus]

ok... this has probably been asked a few hundred times but, what are the shieldy things on the bonnet? they remind me of starwars

[Genesis®]

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...

Perhaps you haven't been driving fast enough

Yeah i wanna know what they are too, they do look like some type of gaurd but why so low? Maybe they flex to much or give too much drag at high speed?

I put these ones up because that Japanese site seems down:

Do they always wear the helmets?

[adznight]

[usuckpoo]

can someone tell me why their budgets are so big as to permit the purchase of such fancy cars for police work?
