the security cameras that are in the tunnel already catch speeders all dependsif the guys watching can be bothered making a call to cops about it but from the roumers i have heard i wont be speeding in the tunnel from now on after last weekends both ways shutdown of the polly pipe :)

But it sounds so cool when you speed in the tunnel... not that I ever have. The speed cameras at the entry/exit (going either way) do a good enough revenue raising job anyway, maybe they're going to up the ante since they have to pay even more for the overblown perth to mandurah railway line we were supposed to have last year.

The boss went to a road safety council meeting this arvo so I will ask him on Monday if anything was mentioned.

With the tunnel in small concrete sections that are all the same size... it isnt hard for the cops to work out what speed any vehicle is travelling as the tunnel is monitored 24/7.

With the new laws enabling anyone to show traffic police video evidence... all the tunnel security would have to do is show the cops a video of a car alledgedly speeding... the cops could determine the speed by how many sections the car is passing over a certain time frame, and then issue an infringement.

This new law together with tunnel security/police co-operation, has effectively made the existing tunnel security system, a speed detection system aswell.

Ive noticed for the first time, so I assume its new, on North bound 3 separate mounting brackets on RHS as you drivng thru the tunnel... maybe the beginning of the end :O

EDIT: And same for south/east bound.

if you speed in the tunnel (exceisvly)(SP?) you will get in trouble as they can work out how fast you were going.

anyways, i noticed a few weird things in the tunnel today, it looks like some sort of air monitoring device. I wouldnt be suprised if they eventually fit fixed speed camera's.

Not that i get a chance to speed in the tunnel, the speed limit is 80 and the second the retards hit the tunnel they slow right down to 60, then speed up as soon as they exit. shits me real bad.....

i have never understood why everyone slows down in a tunnel like you said. annoys the crap out of me

Probably because there are walls either side of them, and Perth drivers are shit scared when anything else is close to their cars. Like merging points, another car coming in to the same area automatically means heavy on the brakes & come to almost a complete stop.........

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
