this car did not have one sctatch or dnet on it. the other reason why i also jumped out there in the hail like a crazy person is because i only have 3rd party insurance on it and if it ended up like our three other cars "write offs" next to it, it would of been even more damage to fix. and more damage means more $$$. luckaly i have alot of pannel beaters and spray painters in the family. but wat pisses me off even more is that it just came out of the workshop at hills motorsports and spent a few $$$ on friday with all my new bits on there and i cant even enjoy it properly.

mabye its time for comprehensive insurance???

I was one of the lucky ones in 1 respect, I live in St Marys and got nothing but rain and wind... But on the other hand I work in real estate as a property manager and have had to deal with the 60+ properties that have been severely damaged, I really feel for those guys and the owners! :bunny:

I'm in Colyton/St Clair area and the stones were only small-ish but hard enough that they dented the shit outta my roof and the pillar between the roof and top of the doors... weird that one side of the place got hit and the other was basically untouched.

Im guessing they couldnt provide a licence/documentation to prove that they are accredited workers?

There was a warning on the radio about tradespeople quoting and then receiving deposits for the the work, then pissing off with the deposit!

most off the houses in my street have broken glass..the obrien glass guy has been to heaps of houses on my street

anyone got a CF bonnet for fit r33 gts-t S1?

It's been awhile but last time I was at Unique Autosports they had one. I'm pretty sure Powerplay can get an awesome Eastbear one in too (pricey, but worth the money, and definitely hail proof ;)...I should know).

When you have A pillar and roof damage the car is write off as from then on it has a weakened structure and wont be legal for road use, its also void for insurance.

I.e it will snap in half in a head on and squish ur head off.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
