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 think they just get lazy well driving!

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.

his repairs cost $2k i should have just driven off like nothing happened!!!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
