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.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
