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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
