The fixed camera's along the highway are not in use yet. I drive along there twice a week at 100kph+ (very early in the morning, hardly any cars at all) and have never received a speeding fine.

I wouldnt be so sure dude...

2 weeks ago I got a nice letter in the mail from Vic Police advising me that although they are currently not fining people, they caught my car doing 106 Kmh on the western ring road [outbound heading towards deer park / keilor]. The notice basically said: pending the outcome of the system testing I may or may not be fined :P

BEWARE! The cameras are still snapping away and you MAY still end up with a fine.

BTW, I will be around the Torquay area on the 28th for my Mum's birthday so if I can meet you guys somewhere along the way I will but I may be stuck at the beach havin a bbq and beer!

Have fun!

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

or you can get some other method where you pay normal gantry rates plus a $1.20 licence plate matching fee per gantry or something...

All in all, I've never needed to have one and I don't want to have to get one for this :P

And if you forget or whatever, then yeah its like a $100+ fine

Snowmans route takes us through citilink?

How much does it cost

Dont we get a fine if we dont have one...

seems to be the case...but i guess if people dont have etags nor want to buy day passes then there are otherways to get there just like the last GOR cruise :P

Anyone else in S/E that plan on going but don't have an E-tag?

Snowman's route takes you on the Citylink and I refuse to get an e-tag based on principle :(

Otherwise I might have to go solo until I get to one of the other meet points ;)

I used to feel the same way about the Citylink mate until I used it for the first few times. It still shits me paying but it makes travelling so much easier and quicker. I went from Officer to Calder Park today and it took me less than 50 mins.

I dont have an etag, so will prob be heading down toorak rd if thats ok. What the official route? Can i get a pm or email about it?

Daz- i can also pick you up if you want a ride in a almost stock 32

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road. I'm talking about the Princess Freeway. The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

For the SE no-eTag people:

Go with Snowman's team but exit at Toorak Rd.

Head up the hill toward the city - I'll be waiting at the Shell servo in Sth Yarra.

Follow me to rejoin freeway off Kings Way - and catch up to the other group.

Also...

Anyone going through the tunnel, may these photos lead to some inspiration ;)

If there is a few of us not wanting to take Citylink we could go in together...

but re-joining Snowman (and citylink people) would be a bit hard unless there is another stop point, then that would mean they would have to wait.

The easiest thing is (non-citylink people) probably leaving a bit earlier.

Its almost 10 bucks for a whole day pass... not worth it since we're only going on one if not two gantries (one way)

it is not $10 for the sections you are using. E-Tag's aint that hard to use/work out.

you can pay by section, or get a day-pass.

please yourself. They aint 'THAT' bad.

You have upto 3 days from travel to pay for your useage. So you'd have till Tuesday to pay at any citilink branch, Shell Servo... and a number of other places.

As clarkey said, he hated it once, so did i.

But if you dont want to go e-tag... i suggest you leave much ealier from the meet point. All the by-roads that need to be taken etc.

But at the end of the day.... what is $5-$10 when your going to be buring over $50 in fuel, food and everything else?

seems pretty trivial doesnt it?

Yeah, that's on the Ring Road.  I'm talking about the Princess Freeway.   The camera's along there were not activated before they had the calibration issues with all the other camera's in Victoria.

Ok, enough of speed camera's.

If people wanna speed on the free-ways, dont whinge when you get a letter in the mail.

end of story.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • 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.
