How's the storm damage count goes? It was such a big storm last night, many cars in our car park got flooded. My bro's brand new Accord Euro got wet carpet at the back. My car was still dry, luckily somehow....

All downstair (ground floor) neighbours were flooded. We're on first floor and lucky no leak from above. The weather bureau said there might be another storm tonight, I just hope it won't be as bad as last night.

Hope everyone is ok...

i almost got myself into trouble last nite at about 3am on springvale rd infront of the glen. saw there was alot of water on the road but a small truck was driving thru so i decided to give it a go in my mums 02 corolla. drove a third of the way thru and thought to myself "what have i got myself into". the water level started at 30cm deep then right in the middle got to about 70cm....when i saw one of those garbage bins floating on the road, thats when i started to shiit myself:D kept the revs up so water wouldnt get up the exhaust and stall the engine and somehow got out. just hopin theres no damage to the engine itself.

my cars fine... it was outside all night too... didnt get any hail in our area... if its going to be like last night im heading to the beach to take more pics heheh

Is there a chance of any damage to a car's mechanical when water rose up to door sill level, which means half the rim is soaked, and all underneath of car will be immersed with water including oil sump?

That's the level in our carpark... my car was soaked up to door sill but lucky water still doesnt get in. 1 cm higher it would have been in.

2 of my mates cars were seized when their cars got bogged in waist deep of water.

my car was under a car port, so no hail damage, although my gutters are in all sorts of wierd shapes and the corrugated aliminum sheets on top of my shed look like swiss cheese. All plant life around the house has been destroyed (they'll grow back) coz the branches are broken etc. but that's about it. No major damage.

Car is perfectly fine. Oh my TV antenna ended up in my neighbours lawn...

Just washed the car today....

Upon closer inspection looks like I've copped some hail damage on the roof. Not really a dent, but if you look at it the surface ripples a little bit where it has been pounded by the ice...

Can't see much on the bonnet, but found one tiny hail chip where the paint has gone, exposing the metal.

Well there was no storm really to speak of in sunny Lynbrook, but there was a spectacular light show on the horizon. Found out today that my step dads car was written off in the storm in Lillydale. the insurance company won't let him buy it back and that sucks, so anyone got a nice R30 skyline wagon or Pootara (pintara)! for about 3k?

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
