Man leads police on wild chase

Several officers have been injured and police vehicles damaged when a driver menaced a motorist on a western Sydney motorway then tried to run from the law.

Police said a 19-year-old man was driving a Nissan Skyline on the M4 at Homebush at about 11pm (AEDT) on Saturday when another man, driving a Mitsubishi Lancer began tailgating his car, flashing his high beam lights.

The menacing behaviour continued for up to 30 minutes as the cars drove west along the motorway.

The 19-year-old man called police and was told to leave the motorway and make his way to the nearest police station, at St Marys.

When he stopped in King Street outside St Marys Police Station, the Lancer driver drove to the end of the road and performed a burnout, attracting the police's attention.

Officers directed the driver to stop but when he refused, they pursued him along the Great Western Highway before terminating the chase in Stafford Street, Penrith.

During the pursuit, the driver collided with a trailer towed by a car at the intersection of the Great Western Highway and Parker Street at Penrith.

No one was injured.

A short time later, police patrolling in York Road at nearby Jamisontown saw the Lancer being driven erratically and overtaking cars on the wrong side of the road.

They followed the Lancer into the dead end Regentville Road where they positioned their two unmarked police cars to stop the driver.

But, instead of stopping, the driver drove between the cars, crashing with both, before travelling onto Tench Avenue, prompting a second police chase.

In Jeanette Street, Regentville, the motorist did a U-turn and drove directly at three pursuing police cars causing substantial damage to all of them.

The man then repeatedly reversed and accelerated towards the police cars while officers tried to remove him from his car, using capsicum spray to subdue him.

A 23-year-old Riverwood man has been charged with 16 offences.

They include: drive dangerously, menacing driving, perform burnout and drive vehicle recklessly/furiously, stalk/intimidate to intend fear of physical/mental harm, use weapon to avoid apprehension, refuse to undergo breath test, intimidate police and common assault.

His licence has been suspended and his car confiscated.

A 16-year-old was also arrested but later released without charge.

A number of officers who were in the police cars involved in the incident suffered minor back injuries and bruising but none required medical treatment.

Four police cars were damaged in the incident.

The media did label the skyline.. the article heading was more than enough.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
