When I first looked at the photo instead of thinking "Oh no. Another unmarked cop car to catch me when I do something wrong" I actually wondered if the cops had purchased a Skyline to try and catch more of the thieves that have been stealing our pride and joys at a rate of about 1 a week for the last 6 months. It may or may not be a cop car but I for one hope that it is... and that it gets stolen and leads the cops to a warehouse full of Skylines & Skyline parts. Although that may all be wishful thinking.

I asked someone closely related to sapol to day about it and he told me that there are 16 sapol lines at the moment, the ones will the arials are only D’s the others don’t have them. They are also retuned and unlimited!!! He also let slip that they are getting two 35 GTR’s that will be marked highway patrol and used up north

thats ok guys apology accepted :P

so how do i become a cop and get issued one of these 35 GTR :P;)

if there running untunned and unlimited can we pull them over get them for boost guages controlers Pfc's :thumbsup: and whatever else the now low and they do run standard wheels with orriginal twin muffler on that silver one

the more descrete ones may have mags and zausts i dont know

YES heslo D = detective

isnt there age restrictions on police cars though?

ive known a couple 33's that came with them from japan including my crash repair's 33

Madaz, was the 33 in the picture a 4 door? next time you seen him just cruise up and ask what its for :thumbsup:

na Kye was a 2 door, i would get laughed out the door if i tried to recruit :thumbsup: .. um i don't think there is a age limit to drive the cars i think for bikes there is and maybe highway patrol would need x amount of driving hours and extra advanced driver courses

SAPOL recruitment tool

**BEWARE** Guys

Police are using skylines as pursuit vehicles undercover of course

there is this silver one and a white one getting round

My limited knowledge of RF would say that's not a SAPOL equipped vehicle. SAPOL use the Government Radio Network (GRN) which are only require a 40cm antenna for their digital signals. Highway vehicles have HF radios which have the big antennas, but theres no reason to put one on a city vehicle like that, and it doesnt look like a HF antenna. I've seen plain clothed officers in an old holden crusing around TTP before, they normally dont equip the vehicle with a mobile radio, but use their handhelds. And they arn't undercover persuit vehicles, but more like a spotter. My guess is its a CB enthusiest, as someone else suggested. Probably have a scanner in there to pick up a wide spectrum of frequencies hence the need for a long antenna.

The End!

I highly doubt they will get 35 GTRs. Why wouldn't they get a porsche or something else exotic?

This is Australia, the government won't spend $100k+ on a highway pursuit vehicle. They've already got pursuit vehicles and they're commos with a big SS badge on the back...

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
