Crazy shit. Not a drop down south.

Oath. I got sprinkled on out on the boat around Sylvania - Lugarno area for about 5 minutes. Looked a bit more viscious out West but by 5pm it was completely sunny again :P

Back on the tube we went :P Was a bit choppy and got absolutely hammered at 70km/hr! :)

Here's some photos I've finally had the chance to upload of Sunday's hail - I live pretty close to the border of Seven Hills and Toongabbie.

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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
