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...

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
