Will be driving through there later today, will look again. I've seen those beige-looking things before, they have been there for ages. If it's something else people are talking about, then it's something to look into for sure!

Dought they would. More work for them

For who? What's work?

If you're talking about paperwork for police... you're probs right, the state government would never take the chance to raise some more revenue and overwork their police force. Oh wait :rofl:

Next time someone drive through the tunnel, can you pull over on the emergency stop lanes & take a photo please? ;)

Not sure If I'm even looking for the correct things at the correct places...

First of all, how can you have 2 first of alls?

Second of all these cameras were installed by the security guys who work for my company :D :D. I can ask them the details of the "monitoring" but from what the cameras are they do not have speed recording in them.

P.S. They start out as white cameras and are sprayed black.

P.P.S. They are always heading down to sort out issues with the system. 2 of them were there until 2am a on Sunday morning I think.

Thought I'd update you guys again (although I don't think anyone saw my last post, hmm). These cameras are situated above a little yellow plaque on the side of the tunnel according to the security guys at my work. There are about 25 cameras in each tunnel and SPEED RECORDING IS FUNCTIONING. The guys said they can watch the speeds of cars but I don't think any sort of fine is being issued yet.

Also 2 permanently mounted speed cameras will be mounted at the exit of each tunnel. This is only the plan at the moment, it could change.

Man, we really need to find someone who knows the people that work with these things inside the tunnel. They might be able to tell the speed of the traffic inside there but can't use it as evidence, who knows..

Could be that they have no intentions of calibrating/servicing the speed devices in the tunnel regularly enough to be used as evidence. Like the same deal with multanova cameras, police car speedos etc having to be regularly calibrated.

But a far more realistic theory would be - Maybe the big shots running the tunnel have gate/screamer pipes on their cars and enjoy a bit of speed/noise through the tunnel themselves :)

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
