:D So I'm driving up Bell st (towards the tulla) at about 5:30pm yesterday, and I turn left into that little st that's near Coburg Market where the safeway, coles etc is.

The cars were all banked up at a pedestrian crossing so I stopped about 5 - 7m from the corner. Few seconds later I feel a hit from behind. Me and my friend turn around and an Indian Taxi driver as just gone up my ass!!!

I pulled over, the taxi pulled in behind me, and i got out to assess the damage; the rear bar's been pushed in and its popped out a bit on the sides now. It's also really loose and there's a small crack on the bottom right :). looked around a bit more and noticed yellow paint on my exhaust. My bar sticks out further than the exhaust so it must have pushed the bar quite a bit :happy:. exhaust is also a bit damaged.

Anyways, we're talking to the taxi driver, and before we know it, his taxi starts rolling backwards towards bell st!! :) the guy must have left it in neutral and didn't put the handbrake on. Just proves that he can't drive!! :sick:

The driver didn't wanna give me his details, he kept saying I stopped suddenly and there was no damage. I kept insisting to have his licence but instead he just called his brother (who was also a taxi driver). the brother came in a couple of minutes (was near by) and had a look at my car. he agreed there was no damage and everything was "ok"... by this stage i was furious. The damage was clear and obvious, but regardless he still has to give me his details right?. I eventually saw his licence and a copy of his details, and gave him mine.

Anyways, anybody know any good panel beaters so i can get some quotes? i don't know what the deal is with import cars, can I just take it to any panel beater? or do I have to take it to a jap specialist? Also, should I call the police and let them know what happened? No one was hurt or anything so it wasn't a serious crash...

I've only had my skyline for a tad over 1 month :ermm:

p.s. 2 silver r33's drove past (1 going the other way) as soon as I got out of my car. They might have seen the whole thing so just wondering if you're on this forum in case the taxi driver denies the incident and I need a witness.

should have called the cops the moment he hit you. they take pics file a report and doesnt matter what he says, ull always be right.

no headaches from insurance.

hmmm damn. Well I took some photos with my phone. The taxi driver took some too.

Car's got a fresh respray too :sick:

Bad luck dude sorry to hear!! Unfortunately ur not the first person Iv'e heard have a similar story with a cab sad really...

But you have his details if it happened again i would just straight away say ok cool i will ring the cops... 10 Bucks says you get his details very very quickly :D

Anyway i recommend Gal Smash Repair... He did an awesome job on my car when i had an accident and hes a top guy...Tell him you know Matt in the Yellow 33 :/

Good luck with the repairs...

hey bro, speak to this guy he is unreal and not to expensive, his name is sadat and his number is 97931322. he did my r33 GTR it was perfect man.:-)

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
