A couple of Gum trees around my house are a little worse for wear, the poor things.

Got off pretty lucky here in Greensborough, but was a little stressed about branches and shit so moved the 33 out of harms way anyhow.

Muther fucker!

I need a new windscreen.

Got 7 dents on my bonnet and a ding above my front left indicator (next to the headlight).

Roof has about 3 dents in it.

FUCK YOU MELBOURNE SHITTY WEATHER!

Paintless Dent Removal is a 1st option.

i was in rowville and it was pretty nasty - i rekon some were easily bigger than golf balls.

my old mans cars copped two broken mirrors, my uncles vs is destroyed, sever hail damage all and cracked windscreen.. definately a write off.

then there's his house... about 10 broken tiles, water comin through the cieling, skylight gone both on the roof and the kitchen.. not pretty.

luckily the gtr was in the garage.

My friend who is a supervisor in claims at Just Car just called me to check on my car.. both of her cars got damaged.

She said that it's covered under insurance and if there's a big enough state wide claim, they may choose to waive excess fees for everyone.

i think i got off so fkn lucky. was heading to the city and just passing thru hawthorn when the hail suddenly hit. fkn panicked as i could hear it smashing away on the bonnet and roof, plus the big ones exploding on my windscreen. every bloody servo and bridge had cars under it already but was lucky to find refuge in the loading bay for australia post. it was so loud under there i couldnt hear myself talk

in the end absolutly no damage, the hail where is was pea sized, with the occasional ice cube size. come back to the s.e suburbs n cars with tape and cardboard covering the windows everywhere. some nasty dints too, could have killed someone

Yeah right...

How did your car go?

Haha well I wouldn't believe it either but she was just telling me the possibilities, it's not her decision to make but it's happened before.

I think my car was lucky enough to cop the small hail when it first hit in the northern suburbs. From what I can see there's no damage, but it's hard to tell right now in the light and with the car still dripping wet.

Sorry to hear about your car :D hope the repairs go smoothly.

It's still thundering a lot out this way but the rain just stopped not long ago. Hopefully the worst is over.

My GTR is covered in dents.............nothing I could do but watch in horror out the window at work, I probably would've been killed if I went out there, the ice was just massive

Ironically today's my birthday....how fitting :D

Any places people can recommend to get repairs done?

FUCKING hail. Picked up my brand new D1R wheels today with the intention of making my car look good. Came back from a trip up to Belgrave with dents all over my roof. All look pullable with no paint chips, but fuck, what a way to ruin a good day for me. Sounds like some of you copped it much worse. I saw some poor bastard driving along in the rain without a rear window and the rain just pouring into their car. It was hell getting off the mountain with all the traffic and floods and debris everywhere. Anyone know what excesses are like for hail damage? Might be worth just paying a panel beater to do it.

Group buy on dent pulling lol, good idea, someone will be willing to take us all on.

muhahaha time to buy up some financial writeoff cars. fuck yeah. I <3 hailstorms.

there were a few hailstones in our front yard. 32 and s14 were in the garage, and the hailstones weren't big enough to dent the ceffy and maxima.

puppy copped a hailstone to the back while taking a dump in the front yard... altho he spent the rest of the arvo chasing hailstones and licking ice. retardo dog.

Can anyone Give a ballpark figure as to what it will cost to get hail damage fixed? My bonnet and Roof copped it the worst. everything else seems O.k.. I also have to get new front and Rear windows :D..

my insurance doesn't cover hail damage

Hope all is good for you man!

I think your insurance will cover for a windscreen.

PRICING ESTIMATES

Small dent or crease:

(size of 10 cent to 20 cent piece)

$100 inc GST

Medium dent or crease:

(size of 20 cent to 50cent piece)

$140 inc GST

I got about 7 dents on my bonnet...

7 Dents = $700!

3 Dents on the Roof = $300

1 Dent on the Front Left Guard = $140

TOTAL = $1140

Might as well buy a decent 2nd bonnet / guard.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
