I'm sure there's been a number of these postings about skylines getting around as taxis but i was yet to see one. I've just recently moved to Wellington, NZ from Melbourne and was out on the piss last weekend when i came across an R34 with the taxi lights on the top. I thought i'd better take a pic of it on my phone just so i knew the next morning it wasn't the alcohol talking. Anyways, there's just as many 4 door skylines over here as there are sheep, so the odd skyline taxi should be normal. It would be a pretty big novelty back in Aus to catch a skyline home from the pub instead of the usual overpriced yellow falcon smelling like taxi BO. The pictures tell the story anyways.

Cheers,

Adam

That's a weird wang.

I wouldn't want to catch an R34 cab unless I was in the front seat. Not much room in back.

It's a 4 door so plenty of room in the back (for a skyline). Most of the skylines here are non turbo 4 doors.

With no import tariffs they're dirt cheap here. Damn family cars!

    • Hi Everyone, I did 4.11 gears in my 34 GTR and only thing that remains is to fix the speedo reading (it reads about 15% higher) using the R33 GTR speedo sensor. Few questions:   1. Does the R33 speedo sensor fit right in to the 6sp getrag? I read it does but wanted to confirm because the speedo sensors between 33 and 34 look quite different   2. The connector on the 33 speedo sensor will not plug into the connector on the getrag. Do I just need to wire the pins together manually?  See pic: https://imgur.com/a/NTDzFe8
    • Does anyone know how I could find the part number for bolts used with  r34 with rb25detneo engine lower timing belt cover?   my timing cover was rubbed and i fixed it but upon putting the harmonic balancer i see the timing cover is almost rubbing and that is due to previous owners using general bolts and washer rather than the bolts per link below which sits inside the washer and pull the cover in   not sure if those bolts will fit rb25   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326510870741?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAB_7XZxjuciMybdVOTShCs9857686&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338723872&toolid=20006&customid=7jIl12glAAAAVfHSSnyxAmSsdRxnAAAAAA
    • If the slightly higher internal EGR caused by a high flow cat causes detonation your tuner was way, way, way too aggressive to begin with. Timing scatter is a problem unless you go to a crank trigger, winter vs summer blend has different octane, list goes on.
    • The H1 Alpha with the 6.6 Duramax is basically the actual powerplant it needs to be remotely ok to drive on public roads. It's just not worth the cost to buy a real one. Humvees look cool but man the reality of them is depressing. Grunts aren't kind to them but they aren't that reliable either, they have horrible payload despite absolutely massive size, zero actual armor against mines/small arms, absolutely anemic naturally aspirated diesels, list goes on.
