I hate taxi drivers, I always avoid them on the road, because once one pulled out in front of my g/f and she could not avoid hitting the taxi in the side. Not only did they refuse to accept responsibility, they made up a fake witness to say that it was my g/f's fault, and threatened legal action unless we agreed to pay them out a few thousand dollars. We had only 3rd party at the time and luckily the insurance company refused their claim, but we never did get our car fixed, oh well it was only a 1978 corolla but it was still the principle of the thing!

My old man used to own a cab.

When the car is off the road due to an accident, they loose a hell of a lot of money.

It is an inconvenience for them more so than it would be for you.

Trying to make money in a cab these days is quite difficult.

There is not a lot of money at all involved.

But hell.. Don't worry about the fines etc.

Go to court and pay $5 per week and still save for your schoolies week or what ever it is.

i must admit .. no offence to your dad joel .. but i farkin hate taxi drivers with a passion LOL .. they piss me off all the time .. think they own the road ... just an hour ago going to the pizza shop to get food .. stopped at the traffic lights ... which was next to a petrol station .. taxi decides that he goes out of the petrol station and just squeezes in front of me just as the light goes green .. didn't even indicate or wait for me to acknowledge that i've seen him ... i've had so many incidences with them .. and my friend ... he got hit by one ... he was stationary .. u won't beleive what they try to do to get away from paying ... so many excuses ... he even try to say that there was damage on the car before he hit it ... how would he know?? did he go out and inspect my friends car before it happened??? but its what he did in the end which really pisses me off .. he ran away .. cant' be found ... wtf??

they all know how to get away from these things ...

Why is he a "****ing taxi driver" then? You're the one that caused the accident?

get over it ay.

the only reason i side swiped him was i was strugglin to get out of my position cause he parked so damn close to my front bumper. therefore the angle at which i left the kerb was way too shallow to clear him

Working last night one cab driver was just asking to be hit.

He could have avoided the situation.

A van was reversing away from where he put petrol in when a cab driver stopped behind him at a 90degree angle.

The Van reversed for 3 seconds heading towards the cab. I was wating for the Cab to select reverse and get out of there before he got hit. I could see the cab driver was looking straight at the van watching it coming for him.. BANG!!.. I couldn't help but laugh watching the whole thing. When the cab driver came in i asked why he didn't reverse as he had heaps of time.

He stated "I don't know"... Stupid idoit..

Me?? Mate, I think it's YOU that should "get over it ay"...

You caused an accident, because you obviously can't judge distances, and you call the innocent party a "****ing taxi driver" :P:D:)

i hit a son of a bitch right in the door with my first car. it was a silvia. Yes, i was speeding but he pulled out of a service station with out looking, i couldnt stop in time.... the dick didnt even realise i hit him he drove off 1km down the road them must come to his sensors and reversed back another 1km. i think he was lookin at a "people" mag cos i spotted one in his cab.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
