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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • 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)
