I know that in the tunnel that goes under Sydney Harbour they can record your speed. It gets displayed on one of those overhead displays if u r  going over the limit. They can also cut into your car radio and let you know if your speeding or of breakdowns etc. They send this info to the  NSW Road Taffic Authority so if they can issue infringements. So if it can be done there they can do it here both tunnels look to be similiar (internally anyhow)

they mite use something different over there, but i know they did a test in our tunnel with the speed checking devices they use over here and it never worked properly, thats only going on what i have heard

I'd say if they mounted a camera in the tunnel...we would of had our fines by now...  

:bahaha:

When I said there is camera in polly pipe, I ment there is camera monitors the cars in the tunnel, it can be used as still camera so track down offenders if they wants to. but usually they are just monitor the traffic flows etc..etc. but I am sure they are good enough to read your number plate!

control centre are at the east perth I think

cheers

did you just lose all your points huh ? and you didnt take the option of 1point/3yrs deal ?

Yeah, suspension through loss of points. I enquired about the 1 point deal but it doesn't exist in WA. NSW and Vic a get 1 point/1 year deal, but we get shafted.

12 wks will fly by. The bulk of it falls in holidays so it shouldn't affect me too much.

Balls of steel :D

Driving under suspension is $600 and a further 9 months. Thats enough to keep me honest.

Yeah, my old man knows about that. He was caught speeding without a licence on a double demerit point weekend.

Don't know what he was thinkin.

I'm pretty sure its called keeping a positive attitude where I come from. No point getting your nose out of joint after the fact - do the crime, do the time (if you get caught)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
