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.

    • Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly, by free revving I meant if I just floor it, it gets to 7kish and will start to break up/not hit limiter properly, off boost I’ve driven the car until near on empty. I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted in the engine bay, holds fuel pressure consistently full tank or half tank even when revving, and no the pump sound doesn't change. all the fuel lines inside the tank are fairly new but will look into it, could that also be an issue with the lines outside the tank ?
    • Yeah maybe I got a bad batch that only lasted 6 years. Or conversely maybe I got a good batch that managed to last 6 years.    Either way I have sourced a set of OEM hub/bearing assemblies  so I keep hearing! Even from life long mechanics. Apparently this failure is unheard of…
    • I am trying to understand how that even happened to the hub... wtf
    • Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.
    • Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
