LOL

radar shows it'll hit dandenong soon for the SE people.. probably unlikely but i garaged my car incase

Got radar link?

Just took the car to the carwash to have a decent look at it.

Wow, only thing damaged is the bonnet! Boot and other panels are still ok.

Swapping r34 bonnet with speed craters for straight bonnet + $1000 my way.

got home to find the garage flooded :/ judging by the water mark on the boxes it was about a foot high.

luckily the garage floor isn't even else would've gone inside the house.

even luckier i wasn't here for the golf ball sized hail storm, neither was my parents' and brother's cars.

my sister in law's car wasn't so lucky looks like it copped a dent or 2 on the bonnet from what i can see.

/tragic story bro

Was driving to my girlfriends when we copped golf ball sized hail, and enough rain to decrease visibility to about 2m, but kept going hoping that the storm was heading to her place and not away from it..

Wasn't the case unfortunately. The hail that hit there must've been tennis ball size judging by the holes in their pergola

The car I was driving didn't get a single dent getting hammered by golf ball sized stones, but every panel of the gf's car is f**ked, and a cracked windscreen :(

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
