this car did not have one sctatch or dnet on it. the other reason why i also jumped out there in the hail like a crazy person is because i only have 3rd party insurance on it and if it ended up like our three other cars "write offs" next to it, it would of been even more damage to fix. and more damage means more $$$. luckaly i have alot of pannel beaters and spray painters in the family. but wat pisses me off even more is that it just came out of the workshop at hills motorsports and spent a few $$$ on friday with all my new bits on there and i cant even enjoy it properly.

mabye its time for comprehensive insurance???

I was one of the lucky ones in 1 respect, I live in St Marys and got nothing but rain and wind... But on the other hand I work in real estate as a property manager and have had to deal with the 60+ properties that have been severely damaged, I really feel for those guys and the owners! :bunny:

sorry to hear everyone...

yea luckily my car is still in storage at the mechanics waiting to get fixed. my parents alfa got raped.. smashed windscreen, dented roof, bonnet, guards etc. it was pretty bad as im in the castle hill area where also the power was out for like 4-5 hours.

I'm in Colyton/St Clair area and the stones were only small-ish but hard enough that they dented the shit outta my roof and the pillar between the roof and top of the doors... weird that one side of the place got hit and the other was basically untouched.

Im guessing they couldnt provide a licence/documentation to prove that they are accredited workers?

There was a warning on the radio about tradespeople quoting and then receiving deposits for the the work, then pissing off with the deposit!

most off the houses in my street have broken glass..the obrien glass guy has been to heaps of houses on my street

anyone got a CF bonnet for fit r33 gts-t S1?

It's been awhile but last time I was at Unique Autosports they had one. I'm pretty sure Powerplay can get an awesome Eastbear one in too (pricey, but worth the money, and definitely hail proof ;)...I should know).

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

Talk about throwing yourself in front of the one you love.

:dry:

When you have A pillar and roof damage the car is write off as from then on it has a weakened structure and wont be legal for road use, its also void for insurance.

I.e it will snap in half in a head on and squish ur head off.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
