Was coming home about 12am last night.. and in the outgoing lanes of the M1 at about Robina area, I see one cop car on the side of the road with a couple of cops standing there outside the car. Thought that was a little strange, then 200m away *another* cop car with couple of cops standing there, which was getting even more odd.

THEN bit further on, I see about 6 cop cars with lights all on surrounding what to be what appeared to be an old 4WD..

Couldn't get a proper look, as I was driving inbound, but it was strange. Then a bit further on I saw about *another* 3 cop cars with lights on also heading that way.

So in the space of about 5 mins I saw about 10 cop cars!

It was truly something that appeared to be out of Canonball run!!

Anybody know what was happening??

NFI... But up my way, at about 12am, there was someobdy cutting sick in a V8 of some description... Can you "cut sick" in a 4WD?

More than likely someone with an outstanding warrant, who got pulled, and did a runner... The cops usually set up a cordon to the N, S, E &W...

strutto: yeah, it was a blue van! That's the one.

It was on the news actually and they had some footage. Apparently some drunk old guy was involved in a hit and run somewhere (I think the coomera thing was a different thing), and he was making a run for it. He was something like 3 times over the alchohol limit or something.

They used spikes to blow out the tyres. That must'a been what the other cops up front were doing at the side of the road. And the 3 cop cars further back must have been holding up all the traffic to stop them catching up to this guy. All makes sense now.

Wow - I got to see news in the making :) how exciting :D

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
