I win!!!!

I had some kid hit me (he aqua planed into a guard rail then came onto my side of the road, I had a ditch or his car to hit, "tough choice really") while I was driving my girlfriends mums car in the rain (coming back from getting a mates dogs inside because of the weather). Now have to go through bullshit insurance shit. Pretty pissed off.

My condolences for everyone who has had their cars f**ked. :D

GTR was under carport as was wife's new Dualis, we learned the hard way back in 2003 when the 100 year storm hit the Eastern suburbs and there where cars floating down the FWY etc, Burke Road was like a river torrent in the bosses GTiR driving up it was like you were in a jetski with massive rooster tails on each side of the car.

Anyway, that time her 2 month old Mirage got destroyed but they fixed it via insurance with paintless dent removal. Came up brand spankers again.

Lucky we didn't get bad hail in Melton, just pea to 5c piece sized. Lots of rain though, backyard was flooded and the bloodey SHAMWOW did fark all at soaking up the water!!

Here's the Backyard and the laswt one is the water from the back going down the drive to the front, bloody Tuscan Topping and clay soil means no drainage!!

The Skyline was out in the drive, but I heard about the hail coming so I put it into the garage... lucky! My sister's Lancer and mum's Camry were parked outside... both got heaps of dents :D

I found this whopper of a hailstone on the back lawn...

this landed in a mate's yard

holy fkn jesus! that would have taken someones fkn head off!

its good to see a lot of people are taking this incident with a good sense of humour. i know i got a really good laugh at on point where i drove into a flooded lane and drowned a dude standing in the gutter LOL

Thank fuck insurance is paying up!

Just gota get the windscreen fixed, pay for it, Just Cars will Re-enburst the cost.

Got my Claim Number just then, now need a quote on the panel damage from any panel beater, Just Cars will give the Go Ahead and all I have to pay is $500 excess.

A 2nd hand bonnet alone would have cost $500+

:D

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
