hahaha. speed holes was the first thing I thought when I saw my bonnet too :D

I just got back from up the coast...

Both my vans are hit (all custom air brushed too) & my company Corolla is hammered, bro's gf car too.

Roof tiles, ceiling, windows & carpet at my mates place.

To top it off, my bro was using 1 of my vans to move house & it rolled down his drive way into his mates ute too, so hail + tail light & 1/4 pushed back/kinked!!

Oh well, it WAS a good weekend, I hope Mr insurance man is nice.

Oh, and I'm sumburnt as f**k too

Feel sorry for the owners of the other cars, but how can own such cars without current insurance always gets me.

The EVO 9 had the insurance expire two weeks ago. The insurance company would not renew it this week because of the forecast storms. The other cars are normally stored inside but was working on two customer cars so had the others parked uncovered but secured. The Pajero (my sister's car) was about to be registered and insured this week. R33 GTR was under a carport but the hail was coming down sideways and it got hammered. R32 GTR got hammered as it was outside. All in all, 10 cars got smashed. What was worse than all of this was he was driving the EVO with his baby daughter in the back. Hail cracked the rear glass and he just managed to get her out before a tennis-ball sized hail stone went through the rear window and smashed through the rear parcel shelf. Very lucky little girl.

The storm sounded bad from Penrith as it rumbled through and was black looking towards the city but we didnt get a drop of rain, lucky coz our driveway is more full of cars than a carpark.

I was just in parked in Pymble when i heard it starting...Ran to the car, and luckily there was a dude(Matt) that works for Dominos that parked his wrx and another Peugeot under cover behind the shops and showed me where to drive in. I just stopped the car when the hail started getting massive....phew soo close :D

sorry to hear about so many pl with dents n smashed windows tho :D

That's crazy, I live in Pymble, and know that WRX through friends of friends that work at the same Dominoes... In fact, I saw it parked there today...

I seriously didn't notice shit... did it even rain in pymble?

Man, guitar hero makes you oblivious to the world around you...

my car fuct!!!!....roof has heaps of dents and bonnet is a write off, so im gonna get a carbon bonnet

sux to be me.....i was working and the hail car out of nowhere

first thing i did was grab cardboard from the rubbish bin and then ran and put it over my roof...i had to hold it on my car

now my body is covered in massive bruises...and one massive hail stone hit me in the neck and i cant turn my neck

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
