Well,

Driving home last nite on parra rd, taxi in the right lane decides he wants to pickup a passanger at the last second, as they do. Sideswipes me (bye bye drivers side paint) and continues to drive me into the gutter, despite holding down the horn for **** knows how long, and hearing that nice metal to metal sound. Bye bye rim/tyre/other parts.

Anyway, i rang my insurance company (just cars) today, and since i only have 3rd party, they said they don't get involved unles hes holding me liable. Has any1 else with 3rd party had their insurance company handle it if it can be proved you're not at fault?

The flip side to this is i may need to chase this bloke myself.

He spun shit to the cops last nite, and basically wouldn't speak to me either, so i can see a fun ride ahead.

Im thinking i should obtain a quote for repairs, and ask him for the cash, or for him to claim to his insurance, failing that, join the legal chain.

Any1 have advice as to what any other options could be or things i should get sorted b4 i start?

Im still awaiting the police report.

/me waits for someone to jump all over this :D hehe I cbf myself.

mate, I hope you got his details because I'd be ringing the taxi company and asking for his details. Contact him and ask him to make a claim, if he refuses, then contact his insurance company and then go see a lawyer :D

Just leave it 2 or 3 months otherwise it'll look too obvious...

yeah, real smart:rolleyes:

Brody, like the others have said, contact his insurance company with a demand letter. if this doesn't work go legal.

did you happen to get a witness's number?

also, if he did push you into the gutter and you have some damage on the left hand side, then you have proof that it was his fault as he obviously nudged you into it.

anyhoo, sorry to hear it and goodluck.

Cab drivers are the bane of our existance :)

I was waiting for the bus the other day on George St when a guy in a 318i was crusing down the left hand lane towards a red light, with no-one infront of him doing about 30-40 kmph .... Cabby was in the lane to the right of him, up a little further and with a car front and back .....

Just as the guy drives past the cabby, the cabby tries to make a break for the left hand lane whilst the front of the BMW is already up to his passenger side door ... guy slams on his breaks, goes to go into the lane to his left (a bus lane) cept it has a bus in it .. all he could do was hope. Luckily no damage to any vehicle, then the cabby starts yelling abuse at the guy ... it's fu_cking ridiculous.

Thanks 4 all the help guys.

Im still waiting on the police report to be finalised, before i get a quote etc. I thought there was a central number you could ring, present them with an 'event id' and they could give you details, though every cop ive spoken to was clueles about that.

I think ill have to go directly to him rather than his insurance company first to 'encourage' him to make a claim. They're not going to get involved until he pays his excess.

In regards to the taxi company, I didn't actually see what cab company he was from, though ive got all his details and taxi number so that should be a problem tracking down.

Im expecting a quote to be ready on thursday, so I shall deliver it thurs nite. Maybe im being negative, but I can see alot of problems ahead :D

Thanks again guys ill keep you posted :)

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
