It will be interesting... Wonder how they will perform.

As a police car those SS commodores have been a tried and tested package. Now the VY SS highway patrol - im beginning to see them out and about. Motor ran the VY SS to 13.9 sec quarter mile, as opposed to the XR6T 14.1 I believe.

Either way, I don't intend on finding out how quick they are when following... :burnout:

It wouldn't be the best idea doing a runner from a highway patrol car. They are quick and the police that drive them are professionally trained drivers, who i guarantee drive better than most of us skyline owners. I have had a chase before and it is much easier to follow someone than to be ahead.

Really? I'd have thought it would be the other way around if the cars where evenly matched in performance....

But I've never been in a chase so I can't say.....

It is easier because they see you hit a corner at 50 km/h and then they know they can also make it at 50 as they have good cars with ample power just as we do...

Theres one thing i know about cops but and that is that nearly every undercover that has pulled me over has been "human" and every highway patrol likes giving out fines by the dozen... Don't the highway patrol cars have a certain quota of fines to give per shift or sumfin???

Morgs: I was reffering to a situation if the car was stolen... ie those guys in Sti's and skylines the other week... they had to stop the chase because of the acceleration of the other cars...

The main point i was making was it doesnt really matter what kind of car they drive :D as you said all they need is your number plate. And even if they did have 11 sec cars, they would have to stop a chase anyway as it is unsafe...

It's pointless trying to getaway cause when they do catch you, their just going to be tem times more rough on you for making their lives harder. Either way, your stuffed so don't make it any harder on yourself.

In Canberra we have a marked Magna! I talked to the cop driving it and he said its a piece of shit on trial from Mitsubishi.

We also have Volvo patrol, a marked WRX, and a couple of unmarked rexs.

I wonder if the AFP will get Evo VIIIs if they come out here?!

That would be cool!

I'd say there may well be a few R35 V8s when they come out!

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
