geez, ease up a bit guys. I drive a cab for a living to make a few extra bucks. been doing night shift for the last 8 months or so, and I'm a pretty good driver on the road. always courteous etc. give me a break.

LOL is there a cabbie forum?? 100% there's a thread on there called "Those f**king skyline driver!"

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I got a story!! I was going down victoria rd in my 31. This kunt in a silver vectra who has his wife and his kid with him, went from the left lane to the right lane (the left lane ends many times on victoria rd) three times in a row. I then decided to go around the annoying f**ker and got in the right lane as i got closer, he moves into the right lane when the left lane disappears. This tool had no idea which lane to keep his shitbox in. He was as confused has a gay man in a room full arse holes.

I didn't have a horn (as the few that have been in the car whilst im driving, know i'm very "horny" (i like using the horn) in the car), so i flashed him, went next to him and told him off. You know what he did? He starts swearing at me like i was in the wrong.. WTF. His wife and kid looked worried.. f**k, if they weren't there......

Who the f**k gives these motherf**kers their license? f**king clueless kunts.

/rant :)

please explain how you "drive a cab for a living", "to make a few extra bucks". lol

Hate them..

Was going up oxford street a few nights back.. Saw all this commotion, looked to the left two ambulances with someone inside one crying their eyes out.. Look to the right and see a cab with it's windshield smashed in.. :P

I sometimes enjoy when I'm at the lights and they try to skip the traffic by getting in the left lane and taking off from the lights fast.. I just wait it out.. get ahead and slow down so they have to stop in the parked car lane and wait for others to let them back in :sorcerer:

Oxford street, extremely high rate of pedestrian injuries and deaths. Lot's of people off their faces lots of the time. Twice I have come around the corner from Flinders into Oxford and nearly hit an idiot on the road when they shouldn't be. 2 days ago was so close that when the idiot gestured to his mate while talking I was able to punch his hand to wake him up. Don't think he did though as he was completely munted.

That said, I've played frogger on that street one morning about 10am.

Those f**king pedestrians! They should be banned.

I steer as far away from cabbies as humanly possible...

and wtf is it with them accelerating with the brake light on...

one thing I hate is machine abuse, and gunning it while applying the brake is epic.

I'm not going to rant as I've done so in the Sydney drivers thread

a very simlar thing happend to me the other day

but was an old guy in a gold accent, he was being a tool and was tailgating everyone

when i had the chance i stayed up next to him, and the whole way on the road i just keep blocking him off when he was about to over take, i didnt even try to take off fast at the lights and that kunt sturggles so hard to keep up( i mean to the speed limit), then 100 m down the road he comes pass doing 30+kph over the limit, but we always seem to meet up at the next lights for some reason. didnt look at him once, but at the last lights, i was about to turn right, i looked over and that kunt was swearing his head off and looked like he was about to have a heart attk, i just smiled at him. it was funny sh*t

I just remembered some thing..

Am I only the one that is scared when they see a taxi with a big f**koff bullbar on the front of their car.. like the ones that belong on the front of a american size pickup truck or hummer..

not if im at home.

 

its funny that this thread has come up...a guy at my uni slashed up a cabbie the other night and dumped his body in a park nearby..wonder why? revenge maybe?
this is exactly what you wanted to do when this sort of event happened lol but yeh -10 for both cabbie & buses
  • 1 month later...
+1 for hating cab drivers who think they own the road!

and +1 for hating bus drivers who think they can cut u off as soon as they put their signal on!

A friend of mine did see a bus driver being written a ticket once tho, cos he cut off an unmarked cop car...lol serves him right!

bit off topic but

i know a fella that got pulled over by a coppa for doin like 5k's over the limit it was around $150 fine

the dude was pretty pissedas you would be the coppa was cockie

so the coppa got back in his car

the fella got out of his car put his fluro vest on as he is a govermant OH&S officer he asked the police officer to get out of the car

he gave him a fine of 400+ dollars for failing to complie to saftey standards on the job

about time someone got them back i say

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
