I was on my way home this afternoon on Pacific Highway in North Sydney when the f**king taxi in front of me slammed on his brakes to pick up a passenger in BOTH a No Stopping zone AND a Clearway.

I crashed into him, cracking my radiator, breaking my headlights & smashing my frontbar......NOT HAPPY :) :splat: ;)

What's worse is that all he got were a few scratches on his rear bumper and I can pretty much guarantee that the little prick will try & claim more than that.......

thats not a good day.

no matter what taxi man says make a police report (probably need one for insurance anyway), taxi drivers being taxi drivers will be sweet to your face but try rip you off as much as possible. ive seen them tell people not to make a report then run off to the police and report it as a hit and run to try get an advantage.

what sux the most is legally it will probably be seen as your fault :cry:

good luck

Because I hit him from behind it is counted as my fault so I'm not gonna be seing any money from the prick. He can get f**ked if he thinks I'm gonna pay any for his car though......

Nick: My car's at vision with andrew's....... :)

I'm gonna be advertising to sell it as soon as I get it back.......

Time for a 180.

Thanks for the info john......I agree that they are shifty bastards, this one didn't even want to show me his taxi drivers license. (I'm gonna complain to his company)

Though I called the cops today & they said that the rules have changed in NSW so now they only take reports when one of the following occurs:

1. At least one of the cars is towed.

2. Someone is injured. or

3. One of the drivers was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

She told me that the insurance companies handle it from now on......

I'm guessing that I'm probably not gonna hear from this guy...... :fingers crossed:

Cereal I am sorry to hear that. That is terrible news and i feel for you.I not long ago had an accident too in the 180sx. IF you have only 3rd party then you got to chase up the other peopole at fault to lodge in a claim for you with their number. If you have comprehensive then you just lodge in a claim and state that it was their fault and your insurance company will repair it for you and chase up the other party for the dough.

      If you have a Nissan from Japan and model year is from 2016 to 2024, just say you have an Infiniti Q50 4 doors... Why are telling you have an import?

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's definitely not firing order. But I think it should also be made clear that the output that gets fired is the one that corresponds to the input that was switched at the ECU. So you could scramble them up totally so that the numbers meant nothing, and so long as you had the inputs and outputs matched up, you'd be fine. The reason I make that point is that blanket statements about what it is supposed to be don't always hold out in a world where there's been 30 years for the wiring to have been stuffed with.

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
