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.........

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
