The Burnley tunnel is such a con! When the traffic get heavy they slow you down by 20km/hr and reduce you into 2 lanes. Sure I know 1 is fro emergency vehicle access should some nuff nuff cause another hindenberg in there. But sh!T how about some forward planing for things like that. :END RANT:

they also slow down the tunnels so that they can clear the fwy of accidents/roadworks furthur up with less traffic... works well, just go around the tunnels :(

Just thought Id add this useless info for the hell of it...It is possible to speed in the Tunnel and get away with it Not that I recommend it by any means. My old boss from my last company hooked up the speed cameras in the tunnel yonks ago. Their are sets of 4 faded black lines that run across the road every 300m or so i think. they are quite difficult to see in a low clearence vehicle, but at these points this is where the cameras are triggered to measure your speed. anyoo.. point of the story is u can go as fast as u want between these points aslong as your at the speed limit when you go over them.

the guys that did the speed cameras in the tunnels is now bankrut you do the math

the strips for the tunnel verisons re pezo strips...just slow down before you get there...make sure you know where they are, use the exit markers as a guide. If you look you can see both the cameras in the gantry and the strips on the road. its not hard.

Not withstanding they are not always on for system maintence (backend) but thats not common.

dont speed is the easy solution.

So its you f**kers that hold me up every night when i go through there.

Piss's me off, pretty much every night (even before they started putting the wall paper up) for the last year the tunnel is reduced to 2 lanes and the speed limit reduced, it should be free when shit like that happens.

Its also a clue to how well it is built, most of the time its shut on saturday nights and there doing other work in there every other night.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
