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.........

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
