Yea that hill is called the dipper, they sit down the bottom and occasionally up the top, but far more often the bottom

I drive a truck, I have to be careful with that hill when I'm heading North, its easy to roll some speed up ;)

Edited by gtr judd

it wasnt an R8

haha only never to get caught too. Its pretty damn tempting with a big stretch like that.

Nice im sure they have some tweaks atleast ECU or they have some serious skill. quick enough to catch some hektik boys in a Ferrari. But again I guess theyre seriously trained.

I'm actually really surprised they'd bother sitting up the top...I mean it's not often someone would manage to pull a decent speed UP that hill worthy of the cop's time sitting there.

Because they so frequently sit down the bottom people will look and see nothing then nail it, its still easy to sit on 130 + up it

Also the get people going North from the top too. Same With down the bottom

I read that they:

after a bit of googling the VE's are the same just have heavier duty suspension, brakes, alternators, batteries. engine wise you still have the same gutless 3.0lt v6, (or 3.6 depends how old they are)

If you have cruise on, you do exactly the same up as down :P I bump my cruise back cos I know they're always there... it's funny seeing people go around you and then hit the anchors as soon as they spot the police car lol.

I read that they:

HWP are usually SS or XR6 Turbo, so not quite as slow as a bog stock commodore. Have seen cops at the bottom of that hill in the past.

I was even driving a Nissan Patrol down there one day, and sitting on 110 exactly - the cop, hiding in the bushes at the bottom of the hill, gave me a dirty look, even though I'd done nothing wrong. Seems easier for NSW Police/Govt to just punish you when you've done wrong, rather than being visible and preventing accidents in the first place (by, say, oh I dunno... mandating defensive driver training)..

^^^^ I second the dead stock comment. They are stock ss, xr6t, xr8.

Sydney have sweet cop cars. Unmarked typhoons and shit.

Does this stretch of road have bridges? And a wind sock up the top?

I drive to and from Sydney every day, I know there hidey holes :)

f**k you're keener than me, once a week is bad enough.

no point worrying about the cops....just set cruise to 113 and enjoy the scenery

I have been doing Canberra Sydney Canberra 5 days a week for the past 5 years lol, 3 years prior to that it was 3days a week lol.

I know that road very well ;)

My truck is limited to 101, but I can roll up to 130 easily :/

A cop used to live down the road from me a few years ago. He brought a XR6 Turbo and I had a quick look over it. Pretty much appeared standard except it was chipped by Unichip. It did seem the springs looked a little different but it could have been from the extra weight of the car (if any).

A mate of a mate, years ago bought an Ex Police Clubsport from Auction.

It was definately Not Stock.

I thought I heard somewhere that they Chip them, Maybe Head work and raise the Compression?

Also better handling mods.

Cruise in the Soarer ony lets me do 108 :/

funny you should mention. the cima stops at 109 too....f**king annoying, I was seriously considering getting higher tyres.

the stagea cruise on the other hand seems to be happy to go to a million

anyway....what's all the love for modified commodores around here....no matter how much work they've done it won't count for more than 10% extra on stuff all which is still stuff all :) And my bet is there is nothing mechanical changed in the motors

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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
