Myself and a few others were at WSID watchin the Top Fuel Event and I was not so lucky :/ car has dints and chips everywhere.

:(

omg sorry to hear guys, i was in the city for my job induction whole day, parked on the side street, only a few drop of rain..

:(

The Dent Man in Castle Hill does great work. But I know his phone is already flooded.

i live near him so i might goto him

im only gonna do my roof and chassis ....all the rest will be aftermarket parts...like cf bonnet, cf boot, vented fenders,cf doors (if i can source the parts...which i highly doubt it)

My car was parked in Cherrybrook at the shopping centre..

Pretty much every panel on the car is damaged, the bonnet and roof copped it the worst, and the windscreen has massive cracks all over it so you cant even see out properly.

Im in rooty hill where those tennis size hail stones came down cracking windows and denting cars, but I didnt see a hail stone over the size of a ping pong ball?

Thank goodness for that as we had two skylines parked outside plus the commondore.

anyone want to organize a paintless dent removal groupbuy thingy please???

I might try and do that through someone I know via my cousin. I'll bet he'll be flat chat for quite a while though.

I took some photos too, when I've uploaded them I'll link them to this thread. I'm only around 5-10 minutes from James' (lingeringsoul) parents' house, right on the border of Toongabbie and Seven Hills.

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

:/

anyone know how much it would cost to get a bonnet resprayed black? it's for a s1 r33 gtst

I've been trying to source a black one off the forums but they're hard to come by in that colour.

if it's not that expensive I might just purchase a different colured one, respray it and sell my cf vented bonnet

Edited by into oblivion

i work at trivett honda blacktown and every single car is f*cked here. Some of the dents are huge. And down the road a heartland holden even their showroom got f*cked.

I'm so lucky though i have to quote each car here.....nooooooot

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...

HAHAHA ye I hear that :/!

But ye I was freakin lucky that i saw him run out of Dominos to move the car. The hail i saw there was proly around ping pong ball size...big enough to do some decent damage.

Would not hav had a clue where else to go

i saw that on the news

talk about flash storm, no warnings nothing!

A new paintjob woula been nice :P

I heard a massive clap of thunder, and that prompted me to check the BOM website. I saw the severe thunderstorm warning, and BOLTED out of my house to bring the cars in. I got all of them under covers except my brothers car when i started getting belted with massive hail stones. I was so lucky I decided to check.. Had a Lexus, Landcruiser, Patrol, Skyline, and an Outback out in the open!

My bro's car is stuffed though - every panel, half a huge tree fell into our pool, i got a cut on my head and bruises all over my back from trying to cover my brothers car...

all my windows are broken from it :D

ouch :)

...and bruises all over my back from trying to cover my brothers car...

ouch :P

Me too re: bruises.

Also got a semi-fat lip atm from being punched in the face by a big bit of hail. It's gone down a bit thankfully.

lol, how stupid are we. "PROTECT THE CARS!! PROTECT THE FREAKING CARS!!! what? If I got hit in the wrong spot I could get killed? Shutup man, I've gotta PROTECT THE FREAKING CARS!#!!!!"

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
