Shell was lucky to get back inside haha, hope she is ok :)

How were your houses guys? No tile damage or anything else?

Goodluck to everyone on their insurance claims and that it goes smoothly.

I said that to her when she called me; we saw a woman knocked unconscious be a huge hailstone a few years ago at the East Coast Nationals at WSID which was the last time it was damaged.

House looks fine; but I'll have to wait for a dry day to get up on the roof.

Ok damage report new windscreen massive crack on it 2-3 massive dents on roof and quite a few smaller one same goes for bonnet and boot. Now claim insurance or get my dent repairer mate for a cashie

That sucks; our repairer told me that the dents on out car are too deep for PDR this time. :/

PDR is pretty advanced these days.

My jeep grand was hit all sides a couple of years ago. They repaired it completely with PDR for less than $5k within 5 business days.

The repair was fantastic and you couldn't tell it was ever damaged.

There are some very skilled operators in this area; we've had great success with PDR in the past. :thumbsup:

Commiserations to Adrian and Dale too. Apparently the hail had a spread from Blackheath down to Springwood but I believe it rained monster hail down near us. NRMA which insure my Mum's Mazda2 and Maria's Volvo XC60 T6 are banked up arranging calls to the insured; arranging for them to bring their cars to a demountable assessment site that's local next week.

The Mazda suffered large hail dents due to the thin skin. There also quite a few.

Quantity and severity on the Volvo amount to less in depth and less in number. The skin is evidently thicker - noticeably so.

yeah ive seen the guy we use at work get dent out that i couldnt imagine anyone being able to fix without bogging it up an re spraying so im staying hopeful until he gets the chance to go over it

I spoke to my dent remover an showed him the pics. He basically said be prepared to strip out any parts of the car you want. So im not a haopy camper so far today

Awwww, that sucks.

Waiting to hear the verdict with ours...

Just got my first quote. Its 7600 plus adjustments an the cars insured for 11k. Got one more to go i just hope the assessor is in a good mood an decides they will fix it instead of writing it off

With those numbers I think they will fix it.

In the old days 60% of value, written off. Now days 75%-80% and they still fix it.

What do you reckon they will say dale? I still have to get one more quote an see what happens. Has anyone ever fought a insurance company in regards to writing a car off due to hail? Because by the look ofthe first quote im going to be right on the boarder line of being written off.

Could always buy it back? Not sure on how that process works though

Will need to be repaired and blue slipped to get off written off register I believe??

I had a car written off and paid out 3500 but only cost 400 to buy it back... Might be worth it depending on repair costs.

    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
