Drove through the tunnel last and didnt see anything suss, but as i came out and was driving down orong rd i saw something bloody sneaky. The cops were parked up on one of the overhead bridges. The cop in the passenger seat was leaning out of his window with a handheld! Soon as i saw him i realised i was doin 8-10 over. I was wondering what there plan is when they do see someone speeding from up there though? do they have a recording device on the hand helds? Or were they waiting for someone who was speeding a lot and then the would fly down the ramp after them?

Slight Hi-Jack!

If you are heading north on GF-FWY in line with the Burswood Golf Course I see the Blue Poison sitting high and dandy on his motorcycle clipping people then chasing them down towards the tunnel. Now in the hand book for the Silver Eagle Hand Held Laser Speed Recording Device - It states that the device must be used on a horizontal plane and not up / down hills, across oppisite lanes of traffic, or to be used in rain or fog like conditions. Mate got done in NSW on his Crotch Rocket, He fought the law and won. Bought the manual from the U.S of A and challenged the copper. NSW Police paid fee's and court costs.

Standard issue laser for WA is the Ultralyte LTI2020... not that it would operate on different principals... laser is laser... just wanted to jack the thread too!!!

They have been doing the "over bridge" trick since the poly opened.. I have heard of them doing it on the Kwinnana Fwy too... bastards!

The reason there is no speed cameras in the tunnel is because the stuff that the walls is made of is to reflective so photos would just come back as a white screen. So you can do whatever speed you want...

I once had a 180 overtake me in the emergency lane.

My brother lost his license like that. I used to work at Burswood for 3 1/2 years & I seen them on top of that bridge a few times, during all different times of the day. Used to get stared at all the time at 4 in the morning as I drove past them. Occasionally just a car, sometimes 2 bikes, sometimes both with two on the bridge with radar guns for both directions & the bikes waiting on the down ramps.

I thought the hand helds had to be used in a specifc way to get an accurate reading. Not just point and press. Same with multinovas, very picky as to how they are meant to be set up.

Cheeky f**ks.

Multanova's need to be setup on a certain angle otherwise there speed reading is thrown way out (google radar cosine error for more info). Not sure if Lidar is affected by it as well, at least not to the same extent. Cosine error makes the camera read less, not more . Sweep error (e.g panning from one headlight to the other) when using a lidar gun will add to your speed, which is why trees can be caught speeding.

Back onto the subject at hand ... The tunnel...

From Main Roads Bulletin web page :

"TUNNEL TEMPORARY CLOSURE - Northbridge (Graham Farmer Freeway) Tunnel closure

The Northbridge Tunnel will be closed during off-peak times to enable an upgrade of tunnel management and traffic control systems. The planned upgrade is required to keep up with advances in technology and minimise any future problems and possible tunnel closures due to system breakdowns. This is in line with the aim to keep Perth's Northbridge Tunnel one of the safest in the world. The upgrade will require the periodic closure of both the eastbound and westbound carriageways of the tunnel to install and test the new computer systems and associated software."

But as yet, there are NO cameras in the tunnel that are specifically used for speed detection.

My god, how you all speculate on a topic you obviously know not much about! (Not that I do either) You're all clutching at straws!

Reflectivity/Angles/drag-coefficients/flux capacitors.

What a silly silly thread to begin with!

The reflective thing is not my opinion... It is the facts

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
