I've currently got my car at Vision Smash Repairs in Artarmon.

I've heard good things about them, and they seem helpful enough - haven't got my car back from them yet so I can't tell you what the end product is like, but I didn't need any panel work done.

But its a place for you to start in the meantime anyway, their number is 9436 1299, ask for Jerry.

it could've been farken anyone. why are you so prejudice on taxi drivers!? dont get me wrong i have sympathy for your incident but your prejudice against taxi's for whatever the reason is a little unfair.

Panel One, Alexandria. Contact Kelvin 9699 6799 and say Franky sent you. They're a BMW specialist but they've done a fair few skylines (i think there are a couple of R's in their now infact), they've done a fair few wrx's too as kelvin and i used to have one and i recommend them cause they did my wrx...

Im backing pro, ****ING TAXI MOFO....

Heres my story :)

I had a taxi driver cut me off, fk down my drivers side and put me to a gutter ripping my left tire. He tried to pickup a passanger on the left side, while being in the far right lane, slams his brakes, cuts lanes, takes me out. I get out ready to murder this bloke, he gets out, 68 yearold man, so i let it go.

Called the cops down coz gut feeling said there would be issues. He changed his story twice infront of me, from "i was going to turn off at the next street, there was no passanger" to "i stayed in my lane, he screams next to me, slams his brakes, his car wobbles and hits mine". Im going off my nut ready when hes spinning this bs...

Anyway,

After a month of him spinning bs to me, he went to his insurance being zurich. They bs me with "the police report takes 5 weeks to come in", i got a copy of mine within 3 days. Police report says hes at fault, not doubts about it. Zurich says they will pay out.

He got issued with an infringment, which hes now trying to argue at court (can u say min 6 month wait list), so zurich are telling me to fk off until that gets sorted.

I know hes got a right to contest the infringement, but theres no chance he can win any of this. He's so far in the wrong I cant beleive its all going this far....

So far, been without my line for 3 months,

now we're waiting on his case to be dealt with, so alot more waiting...my repairs are 5-6k, so ive started saving. Also thinking of taking him to court asap myself?

As a result, i now hate all fkn taxis, prejudice or not ill pull the trigger againest any1 of them.

Yeah, I hit a gutter due to taxi driver coming across in front of me. He shrugged and drove off thru red light :)

Also, for years we had a run of luck with taxis to the airport for holidays - had 3 accidents in a row:

1) Taxi runs up back of car at front in lights.

2) Bus hit taxi (not his taxi's fault this time, although he was kinda overtaking a turning vehicle)

3) Taxi hit a truck (only 2 cars on the road). Small indian taxi gentleman wanted to fight truckie. We wanted to catch plane

Franks, you'd have to admit that some taxi drivers have appalling driving standards.

I think some couriers do their fare share in stereotype creation. I used to spend alot of time on the road as a consultant (lol) and found they where the worst. They are obviously in a hurry, but I was always abused and once threatened by a courier.

Taxi's are a hard one, I find in australia the taxis can be very wild. They drive erratically to get that final fair, in NZ they are so different. I am always shocked when I am in NZ, the cabbies are so polite, and drive like professionals.

hrm.

I'm driving down Crown St... Green lights all the way, it's about 10pm, and raining. I'm driving my mother's car as mine is getting a new clutch installed. Driving in a stream of cars, I'm about the 4th or 5th car... We're going about 40km/h, and I drive across William St, and BAM!

Taxi driver runs a red light and hit me so hard he wrote off my mother's $130,000 CLK. I bounced off him and hit a traffic light with such force, that it proceeded to fall over and crush a car on the other side of the road. I was winded from the force of the impact, and couldn't breathe. The car the traffic light crushed had a baby in the back seat with father and mother in front seats. I was taken to hospital for possible neck trauma immediately... 3 Police Cars, an Ambulance and a Fire Engine were on the scene before I could breathe again.

The taxi driver was charged with negligent driving, and running a red light, and was additionally charged CRIMINALLY by the Police with assault with a motor vehicle (because the father and mother in the front seat of the lancer pressed charges on him for endangering their baby).

*THAT* is why I'm scared of taxi drivers.

I've got a couple of good guys I use whenever possible. The last thing I feel like doing is getting in a cab and looking out for danger signs. I just want to sleep generally.

I even got "seasick" in a cab on the way to work one day (heh not a good look) due to this guy's absolutely attrocious driving.:)

You pays your money you takes your chances. :D

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      By Duncan · Posted

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
