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 :)

    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
