yer my skyline was a victim of the f***ing hail storm. i live in the heart of blacktown and we got hit harrrd. im talkin the size of cricket balls and baseballs huge, never seen nothing like it before. i had just finished washing the car and put the car cover ova it. it then started raining and within seconds hail started to fall only little ones at first nothing to bad. so i went back outside to put som towels on the car and then the big hail started to fall. i rushed into the garage and grabed what i could to throw ova it, but it was not enough. i was geting pounded in the head and my ear was bleeding with bruses all ova my body. i had to do wat any car lover would do and put my body on the line. after i pulled all the covers and blankets and carpet of the car it was then wat i saw that crushed me. my faultless imaculant R34GTT was all battered up, it broke my heart to see it that way. front screen smashed. dents all on the roof, dents all on the bonnet, dents on the doors and one on the boot lid. most can be dent pushed but its going to have to go in the pannel beaters for some work and some fresh paint. our three other car are written off, so i feel i did the best i could of done. our house also copped a beating with about 50 roof tiles broken and my bedroom window smashed.

Here are some pics of my baby all batered:

Holy crap!! I flew into Sydney yesterday morning and when I got to work all the guys here were talking about massive, cricket ball sized hailstones... I thought they were exaggerating a bit but it seems not :D

It sucks to see all these damaged cars and homes :) As far as I'm aware nobody managed to get any serious long-term injuries out of it which is good, but not from want of trying. I understand your passion for your cars, but when there's hail 8cm across falling out of the sky at 200-odd km/h, leave the car where it is and protect yourself!! It'll hurt to see your pride and joy damaged, but it's better than a fractured skull, or worse. Kudos to the guys who braved it anyway.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
