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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
