Drove through the tunnel last and didnt see anything suss, but as i came out and was driving down orong rd i saw something bloody sneaky. The cops were parked up on one of the overhead bridges. The cop in the passenger seat was leaning out of his window with a handheld! Soon as i saw him i realised i was doin 8-10 over. I was wondering what there plan is when they do see someone speeding from up there though? do they have a recording device on the hand helds? Or were they waiting for someone who was speeding a lot and then the would fly down the ramp after them?

Slight Hi-Jack!

If you are heading north on GF-FWY in line with the Burswood Golf Course I see the Blue Poison sitting high and dandy on his motorcycle clipping people then chasing them down towards the tunnel. Now in the hand book for the Silver Eagle Hand Held Laser Speed Recording Device - It states that the device must be used on a horizontal plane and not up / down hills, across oppisite lanes of traffic, or to be used in rain or fog like conditions. Mate got done in NSW on his Crotch Rocket, He fought the law and won. Bought the manual from the U.S of A and challenged the copper. NSW Police paid fee's and court costs.

Standard issue laser for WA is the Ultralyte LTI2020... not that it would operate on different principals... laser is laser... just wanted to jack the thread too!!!

They have been doing the "over bridge" trick since the poly opened.. I have heard of them doing it on the Kwinnana Fwy too... bastards!

The reason there is no speed cameras in the tunnel is because the stuff that the walls is made of is to reflective so photos would just come back as a white screen. So you can do whatever speed you want...

I once had a 180 overtake me in the emergency lane.

My brother lost his license like that. I used to work at Burswood for 3 1/2 years & I seen them on top of that bridge a few times, during all different times of the day. Used to get stared at all the time at 4 in the morning as I drove past them. Occasionally just a car, sometimes 2 bikes, sometimes both with two on the bridge with radar guns for both directions & the bikes waiting on the down ramps.

I thought the hand helds had to be used in a specifc way to get an accurate reading. Not just point and press. Same with multinovas, very picky as to how they are meant to be set up.

Cheeky f**ks.

Multanova's need to be setup on a certain angle otherwise there speed reading is thrown way out (google radar cosine error for more info). Not sure if Lidar is affected by it as well, at least not to the same extent. Cosine error makes the camera read less, not more . Sweep error (e.g panning from one headlight to the other) when using a lidar gun will add to your speed, which is why trees can be caught speeding.

Back onto the subject at hand ... The tunnel...

From Main Roads Bulletin web page :

"TUNNEL TEMPORARY CLOSURE - Northbridge (Graham Farmer Freeway) Tunnel closure

The Northbridge Tunnel will be closed during off-peak times to enable an upgrade of tunnel management and traffic control systems. The planned upgrade is required to keep up with advances in technology and minimise any future problems and possible tunnel closures due to system breakdowns. This is in line with the aim to keep Perth's Northbridge Tunnel one of the safest in the world. The upgrade will require the periodic closure of both the eastbound and westbound carriageways of the tunnel to install and test the new computer systems and associated software."

But as yet, there are NO cameras in the tunnel that are specifically used for speed detection.

My god, how you all speculate on a topic you obviously know not much about! (Not that I do either) You're all clutching at straws!

Reflectivity/Angles/drag-coefficients/flux capacitors.

What a silly silly thread to begin with!

The reflective thing is not my opinion... It is the facts

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
