just spotted a blue wrx with rally car stickers all over the car (bonnet, doors, boots etc)... on fullers road chatswood, heading up to chatswood toyota... i saw it coming up the hill and thought... hmm... someone's bored with their plain looking wrx???? and upon passing the car, i checked the rearview mirror... and what do i see???? "POLICE" sticker on the boot (the standard blue on white sticker... or is it white on blue... i don't know :wassup: )

just wondering if it really belongs to the local police or is someone being real brave and putting police sticker on their car for jokes?? number plate was the new standard black on yellow (AA11AA format)

only fairfield police has them.. for driver education purposes, they were at drag combat last year spreading their message it was a STI though 2003
The police used to bring a wrx cop car to WSID on wednesdays. Even did some runs to.

Pity they couldn't get it to run quicker than a 15 sec pass :cheers:

I don't think it is an STI, though. It is supposed to be used to encourage people against street racing. Doesn't seem to be working.

Nope. Correcting, not contradicting. As I said earlier, I didn't think it was an STI. No definites there :D Especially since I recall it running 15's - you'd expect an STI to get into the 13's.

A quick search confirmed it.

last wrx police car i saw, he booked me and i lost my license only to receive a letter from the RTA 6 months later saying that we're sorry it was a mistake the radar on the wrx cop car was bodgy. bloody fantastic.

werent the speedos in them defective? or the calibration in them changed over time?....and then the cops hit subaru with a damages suit?

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
