Just saw one of their ads in the latest issue of auto trader...they are having a "Tunnel" sale!

Quote " All stock must be liquidated, the Tunnel is coming!"

So I guess it does have something to do with the "tunnel"

Doesn't make any mention of relocation but.

yeah just saw on the news the project is on the verge of bankrupcy and its not owned by the government. westpac bank had 50 million invested, and some chinese rich dude had 100 million invested in the project lol. apparently they are only getting 1/3 of the 'projected' volume of cars to use the thing and they're not raising near enough money.

yes off topic but still interesting facts lol

mmmm... can't wait for a GTR or hot GTS-t to go through there with dropped pipes..... *hint hint, nudge nudge*

well, my old GTi-R had a straight through exhaust 3" and your ears would be in pain from the noise in the tunnel near the city, forgotten what street its on, but it was loud. and then the car backfired :D sounded like a artillery cannon going off. although it was funny watching people swerve coz they thought i was shooting them ;)

I'd pay $3 to avoid traffic congestion. Would cost more in fuel from the extra idling time, stop start traffic ,and lights

$3 either way to and from work, $6 a day maybe more if u have to go through other tolls. it could work out quite expensive, but then i guess u would just buy e toll wouldnt you.

I like tunnels. There alot of fun to flog it through

Dude, its a big tunnel, and you only got so many gears!

Im really unsure if Brisbaneites are ready for a big tunnel... I know some of the big european ones they have minium and maxium speed limits for the reason of safety. Sure they are way bigger, but I mean we cant even use indicators.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
