Taxi drivers hey. Driving down Northbourne last night a copper pulled up beside me, gave me a very weird look, then proceded to CUT ME OFF!.... he then sped off, merged into a turning lane without indicating, then pull out of it and kept going straight. I should have gotten his licence plate number and reported him, but I was too busy swearing at him.

Spotted a nice Blue R33 GTST in civic and a Maroon one in Dickson, but it had ugly chrome wheels.

Which is wierd, because if you use canberra cabs you don't actually get to where you need to on-time.

haha it took me 3 phone calls just to get one to turn up last Sunday night!!... on the third go I got put through to a person instead of the automotic thingy and finally one came. Took about an hour - first rang at about 9.45, came at 10.45

their excuse was that the brumbies had just finished so they were all out there :P

on Australia day me and the rest of our group (+ 60-100 other people) waited from 2am till 6:30am for cabs... Why weren't taxis out in force on Australia day :X There were so many fights aswell which was somewhat entertaining but still, 4 hours in line after drinking for the previous 4 hours... not fun

oh, and taxi's are heaps of fun :P

Haha when I lived in Canberra two mates of mine got sick of shit from a cabbie and in the wet one of them in the back seat covered the cabbies eyes and the one in the passenger seat grabbed the hand brake - did a nice slide through the round about. After that the driver was fairly quiet and they got home without any hassles.

**i do not condone this sort of behaviour**

Also spotted on Tuesday night: a marone 1000HPatw R32 GT-R in a secret locale in Queanbo'...and yes,I've seen it on the dyno:the figures are the real deal.

I think I've heard about this one, if its the one I'm thinking of, he's done very well for himself

oh, and taxi's are heaps of fun :P

Saw 2 this morning:

8:45am white R33 series II GTS-T joining the parkway towards civic, driving by brunette with quite big brown curly hair with window down

9:15am white R33 GTR with bronze rims turning from drakeford onto sulwood, damn, bronze rims look good on any car.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
