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...

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • 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
