hats off to your dedication, to save 45minutes i would pay a LOT lol

Actually one interesting thing about that...

My mole of an ex used to work at Cannon Hill.

I'd drop her off at work in the morning, and then make my way over to work at the airport.

One week I did the gateway (timed each run, counted up tolls and fuel at the end of the week)

Next one I went over the Story Bridge and through New Farm (timed each run, counted up fuel at the end of the week)

I didn't get a single gateway run under an hour, and it cost me more in fuel and tolls. Story Bridge runs took between 27-38 minutes depending on how many red lights I got.

This was not in school holidays or anything either, just normal work/school days.

Oh, and driving through all the suburbs there were school girls to look at. Faster, cheaper, and JB :(

yeah gateway sucks ass, but in the instance where the tunnel was actually faster like you said I would pay, I avoind the gateway like the plague at the moment

Te37s on GTS and GTT look shit, the offset on the fronts is always lame, same problem i had with the really cheapshit impuls on the R32, nice at the back terrible at the front

Agree. But I think all wheels that are staggered width/offset look shite.

John doesn't care about that because he refuses to use toll roads.

I wish I could own a road. Hats off to the scum that came up with them it's nearly as good as the lottery.

i too am a believer to dodge that shit like the plague - but i mean $4.30 for what - 2km?

such a dog act

If it's quicker people will use it.

Baller. Sick life.

Yeah it all comes down to how much you value your time. Even if it cost me $20 in tolls to save 45 mins it would still be worth it. Oppurtunity cost bitches.

I'd just take the cheaper option, even if it's longer. I've got music to listen to :(

yeah i could use that 45 minutes to do some of my on the side consulting work and make $100.....but truth be told i would probably just get on the PS3 :( ha ha

That and I already pay rego. I shouldn't have to pay anymore road costs

I'll agree with youn there :(

But when it comes down to it if the toll road is faster, I'll probably use it if the fee is not excessive. $4.30 is pretty excessive, I doubt I will be using the tunnel much

everyone should boycott tolls for 1 week. to protest the price.

remind me to stay off the road that week though.

someone start a facebook group about it. see how fast 92000 people join :(

Kinda like the petrol boycotts. If you actually got EVERYONE in the state/country to do it it might work, but otherwise its just a waste of time.

    • 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 ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
