nah u will be rite.. just pay attention next time lol..

i was part of the crue that was painting all the shit u see in there and u dont realise, but 60kms is pretty fast.

and those trucks that came thru at night with chickens on em, the smell is fu**in bad.

The Burnley tunnel is such a con! When the traffic get heavy they slow you down by 20km/hr and reduce you into 2 lanes. Sure I know 1 is fro emergency vehicle access should some nuff nuff cause another hindenberg in there. But sh!T how about some forward planing for things like that. :END RANT:

they also slow down the tunnels so that they can clear the fwy of accidents/roadworks furthur up with less traffic... works well, just go around the tunnels :(

Just thought Id add this useless info for the hell of it...It is possible to speed in the Tunnel and get away with it Not that I recommend it by any means. My old boss from my last company hooked up the speed cameras in the tunnel yonks ago. Their are sets of 4 faded black lines that run across the road every 300m or so i think. they are quite difficult to see in a low clearence vehicle, but at these points this is where the cameras are triggered to measure your speed. anyoo.. point of the story is u can go as fast as u want between these points aslong as your at the speed limit when you go over them.

the guys that did the speed cameras in the tunnels is now bankrut you do the math

the strips for the tunnel verisons re pezo strips...just slow down before you get there...make sure you know where they are, use the exit markers as a guide. If you look you can see both the cameras in the gantry and the strips on the road. its not hard.

Not withstanding they are not always on for system maintence (backend) but thats not common.

dont speed is the easy solution.

So its you f**kers that hold me up every night when i go through there.

Piss's me off, pretty much every night (even before they started putting the wall paper up) for the last year the tunnel is reduced to 2 lanes and the speed limit reduced, it should be free when shit like that happens.

Its also a clue to how well it is built, most of the time its shut on saturday nights and there doing other work in there every other night.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
