Well I thougt is was a good question.

WA Police Patrol cars from my undertsnding have standard Holden Crumadores. 6 cylinder. Even the pretty highway patrols car.

They are only allowed to pursue at 140km.

Under cover who knows.

Cheers

No, they are only ensured to give chase to 140km/hr alot of them get a kick out of it and will chase you all the way up to 200km/hr.

If you get in a chase just hope you don't get the old school nugget cops that will chase you till the death. But yes their insurance doesn't cover them past 140.

It was also my understanding that cop cars (VY execs) get a ECU upgrade and stiffer suspension. That's it. Nothing too special.

Having said that i have noticed more and more D's driving other cars, I have been pulled over twice now by TRG coppers in FWD's. I have also seen suited up TRG cops in a small barina, 'times a changing!'

I am in perth btw.

I think it's a great question. I wanna know what NSW coppers have after seeing them take a corner at about 160kmh+ in pursuit that made me shit my pants.. Looked like a great handling car for what I thought was a shitty commo.

well they are better than your average wanna be racer drivers.

they get extensive trainings etc etc

the NSW highwaypatrols get upgraded brakes suspension ECU and few more bit os extras

they also weight 2.5T around..

this is what a cop told me. when i asked him...lol

but we said he couldnt tell what was done to the engine. apparently it's against the rules... B)

No way they're 2.5t he must have been pulling your leg.

I'm not interested about the engine really, I mean we can assume they have go fast stuff on it. I'm more interested about the suspension.

I think the engines prolly put out around 200kw if they are VZ's with a chip. The suspension is what interests me too. From personal experience last night it seems as though it didn't handle too well on back roads - big fast sweepers with a few sharp corners every now and then.. Couldn't cope with them.

2.5 t's sounds a bit excessive too! fark! Its like a landcruiser!

In NSW:

All the commodores have FE2 suspension that have uprated springs and shocks. The motors are STOCK and they all run on 91RON ULP. The Highway patrol cars are SS, the GD's are Executives. They have slight "police only" mods such as interior lighting and the gate on the Auto gearbox are different.

The Falcons are XT's for the GD's and the HP cars are either XR8's or XR6Turbos. The Turbos have the XR8 front springs.

Similar mods to the crumpledores as far as the interior.

The do weigh a HEAP more. With the light bars, radios, riot gear and safety gear I would think they would be close to 2 ton.

Most of them have suspension - mate's got an ex highway used one - has better suspension + used to have a chip - that's out though..

you'll find they are all ecu chipped, better suspension and slightly lower - however that's pretty much about it.. they don't need to be outrageous - the highway ones (SS) commodores are a) damn fast + B) pretty quick so it doesn't matter..

they just boot it and wait until you make a mistake.. considering my skyline is speed limited to 180km/h I wouldn't even consider outrunning them on a highway.. through back streets maybe.. but that's about it..

they've also got pretty good tyres i'd say..

as for how many there are.. alot i'd say.. quite alot..

To my surprise I've seen blue cop rexes patrolling the liverpool area. They look MEAN, as in STI mean. I dont care whats under that bonnet, if that thing pulls me over I'll be on the brakes before they turn their sirens on.

Getting pulled over by a commodore is opposite, its kind of like getting pulled over by a taxi to me, and i'd think of doing an outrun hehe

just kidding of course

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
