Damn thats gonna upset a few cruises :lol:

When's the next election?

The current govt. has done **** all since it's been in, except revenue raising with respect to speed cameras.

[Boostzor]

Hmm indeed, maybe we wil have to start cutting the obilgatory tunnel run from the cruzes :eek: their messing with tradition here!!!

PS:Hey Chris u got the money for the Coctail party? Trev wants to get it by tonite, so we should go round for some fri arvo drinks me thinks

Camera's in the tunnel suck, we'll have to remove our plates now so we can speed through the tunnel:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

GTst-Vspec, you read my mind.Well,you can get those japan style plate brackets,so when u go over 80km/h it just flaps back inside your fmic.(everybody you didnt get this from me)

Nah, maybe just a cover over the plate that says something like "Fark Off"

See'ya:burnout:

Japan style plate brackets? Where from and how much? Never seen them before. Is there a button or something that u can control from inside the car like the engine spoiler, or is it always automatic?

[Guest aw11]

the tunnel is a nice bit of road. i think they should increase the speed and start kicking all the retards off the street who have caused multiple accidents.

although it proves the government is mainly after money.

and what happens with the plates between 60 and 80??

or 50 and 80 for that matter.

[SHUTO-BOY]

yeah its common in Japan.Saw it in option magazine,its kinda like a thing to hold your plates on the top.And when the wind resistance is like 80km/h,it flaps back into your fmic.I think you can d.i.y(i think i saw a flapping plate black r-33 in perth).Yeah its automatic,oh did i say this is highly illegal?do at your own risk.This is not japan.

is that a turbo?

[SHUTO-BOY]

in the real kit,theres a specific resistance set to the springs or whatever.they come up with everything in japan.I think i saw this japanese video of a car with one,at low speeds it kinda flaps lightly.Once again,it is not a good idea to do this mod on our local roads.

there shoud be a timed event in the tunnel

[bully]

truckies have been doing this for years -- hinged plates that flip under front bar when the wind pushes then - most coppers know the tricks

As much as i hate speed camera's and love speeding though the tunnel..

this is about the only time i agree of the placement of a camera. They are FIXED camera's so everyone knows about them, theyre not hidden like the multinova's we see on the side of the road all the time. This time theyre real purpose is to save lives.

A tunnel is a closed environment and there are only two ways into them, if anything goes wrong it can escalate dramatically compared to an open air environment.

I have my good side saying ' yeah, great idea'.. my other side saying ' screw that, i love speeding through there' hehe :lol:

besides it works on your average speed through the tunnel

do ur somes and u can speed then slow down enough so u don't get pinged or go slow and then speed up.

[skyzerr33]

or in protest we block up both lanes with 30+ cars and go through at 50kph

[Nizmo]

Being fixed i agree at least we know its there - its patrolled so regularly anyway the only difference its going to make is the fact we know. But has anyone tried to read their speedos (with lights off because i cant be bothered putting my lights on just for 5 secs) while going thru tunnel - its impossible u cant see your speedo!!

I go thru tunnel everday usually in peak hour where if you reach 50km an hour then your doing well so i dont really care - just pick up the pace outta the tunnel.

Obscuring your number plate is a 50 dollar fine. Hell, even taking it off is a 50 dollar fine. Getting caught doing 140 in the tunnel... big fine, loss of licence.

This may not be japan, but basic economics implies which one of those options you should pursue.

Bike riders have been putting their rego discs over their back plates for years, its common practice. I drove my old car around for 4 weeks with out a front plate, and 6 months without a rego sticker. I even drove around for 2 years with a front plate missing 2 numbers because id had an accident and a tow ball went through the middle of the plate.

And when i DID get caught for it? Out the back of Kewdale on a Sunday night with a bunch of Silvia lads? They told me to put it on the back instead!!!

50 bucks every 2 years? Or loss of licence every tunnel run?

Take your chances.

kewdale - i love kewdale its a very rare occasion u see police or radars there.

I know a guy that got caught going thru a radar and you couldnt see the last two numbers of his plate - it took them 6 months but they tracked him down. Im getting radar detector for birthday pressie - i know they slip up occasionally but its better than nothing - when u pay $450 for nizmo plates u aint exactly too eager to hide them. But i know what your saying when i had my z31 someone backed into me and the panel shop lost my front number plate so i drove around in it for a couple of weeks til they found it - wasnt pulled over.

Hehehe my favourite play ground, all the roads are nice and wide

Dowd St is nice, long, wide and has a nice sweeper at the end... Look for Nissan HQ at the start of it. Lay a couple of nice black lines out the front for the lovely people at Nissan to come to work to on monday morn

Not that ive done that or anything. I don't engage in such nonsense.

Red17,

If your right about that law then I might permanently remove my plates, I get done for speeding all the time, I could save a fortune in fines:lol:
