Cops get OWNED on Springvale Road Last Night!!!


Recommended Posts

Last night I was driving to the weekly exclusive meet, and as Im heading there along Springvale road, I notice a lot of cop lights flashing up ahead, so my first thought is booze bus/defect station. As I approach it, it turns out that all traffice is being diverted off Springvale road. So then I get to the exclusive meet, and the guys tell me a divvy van had a smash with an X5. At this stage, its hard to say who was at fault, but Im betting that the cop was.

Here are the pics:

if a member of police is found at fault they are charged the same as a normal citizen, their driving priviledges on the force are reduced and also they have to attend a course of safe driving organised by the police acadamey. He also gets reams as to why he got himself in that situation in the first place.

You guys are the biggest bunch of cop bashers around, you don't even know if it was his/her fault.

what he wasn't a TMU or a traffic police, what if he had been rushing to the scene of domestic violence to stop an drunken husband beating his wife. What if the copper was fatally wounded in that accident and left a family with kids without a dad.

At the end of the day that person is still a human being, and deserves some respect for that, don't judge a person by their career choice. If it wasn't a cop you wouldn't be cheering that he wrote the car off.

And I don't see you being overly concerned for the other driver in the accident.

yeah i guess, but they were celebs n shit... like if tomorrow a huge metal pipe fell on denham's head while at work (a la simpsons style) you wouldn't hear me cheering about it.

Then again it is a tad amusing... the cop car being peeled up... and metal pipes falling on denham's head.

PHYSCO style?

I need a shower curtain and a can or red paint to reinact homer on that one.

isnt it like obvious the Cop is at fault

whoever drives into the side of the car is at fault, coz its not as if the other car can drive horizontally into the front of the other car..

^^if im wrong.. feel free to correct me

It looks pretty much RHS cop into LHS X5 or vice versa, which maybe spun the back around a little to hit the back a little. Could be either sides fault. .anyhow, again - we don' t know the full circumstances so stupid to comment too much.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
