Ok I know this is a bit lame, but my two nomination to get the ball rolling:

Tunnel - No cameras, and you get to hear the sound of your 'zaust (how cool is that? :( ), plus well...it's a tunnel!

That 270 deg ramp from the Causeway onto Great Eastern/Canning westbound - test yer grip! :)

The new marmion road section to yanchep is a pretty nice road, the views arnt bad and the road is less bumpy than most others in WA. unrelated but have also seen what may have been a journalist in a new model red ferrari doing at least 250kmph on this road from the speed he overtook me and the speed that I was travelling at already

There are camera's in the tunnel. Speed Camera's and for traffic control purposes, and the cops are cracking down on it anyway.

Are you sure there are SPEED cameras in the tunnel?

I normally do 'around' :) 80 km/hr through there and I am telling you...EVERYONE is going past me. That's alot of tickets.

There are speed cameras in the tunnel but operated by MRWA so it's more for traffic flow purposes to monitor how the traffic's going.

The cameras have yet to be setup for police purposes and are only used in real time i.e. not recorded although there is the capability but MRWA prefers not to do it (as with other real time cameras located around freeways). It could in theory be used as speed cameras if they wanted to.

My sources suggest that police have installed point to point cameras outside the tunnels to measure the average speed of motorists and therefore fine drivers who average over 80km/h for the tunnel section. I believe it is in the testing phase although I'm not sure when it will become fully operational.

Exactly how accidents occur in the tunnel (save for issues with the vehicle) is beyond me.

Haha didn't that guy get his license suspended and is being tagged as "oldest hoon" ?

Nah that was some 81 y/o bloke doing 101 km/hr through the tunnel in the 'crackdown' a few months ago.

There's a section of road in the hills between Karragullen & Kalamunda, can't remember the name but it's winding and fun. In spring/summer you could mistake it for a European road it's just so very picturesque. Must be the vinyards.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
