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

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
