Well, Just Cars must be inundated with calls this morning, just get a bussy signal.

Yeah my friend working there said they normally lodge 90 claims on the day after a weekend, today they're already over 400.

Keep trying and be patient guys :no:

Was at home doing some work, heard the hail start.

Ran outside and saw a few small hail stones land on the GTR, I bolted inside into my room and grabbed the cover off my bed did the same with my housemates and covered the car completely. My mate wasn't so lucky.

Wet sheets all weekend, but a small price to pay.

Sorry to hear about all the bad luck.

insulated car covers... when theres a hailstorm forecast. just cover it and it'll be right

and I only increased the excess the other week to reduce my premiums - F$%^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same here :( my excess is $3500 >__<

Has anyone found an affordable way to pop them out yet? I have dints all over my bonnet, roof and boot :P

EDIT: LOL just found this but I doubt it would work too good

anyone ever used dent vanish in mt waverly http://www.dentvanish.com.au/

everyone else is too busy telling me they have to take care of their guarenteed yards first etc

seems like a nice guy but is kinda young, good workshop, site seems good and photos on the site appears that he knows what he is doing

said i can be slipped in first as a cash job before the flood of insurance work comes through

he says R32 GTR is is favourite car as well :)

he quoted me for $1050 about 20 dents on the roof, 60 on the bonnet and 5 on the guard

it would have been more but i took the roof lining off myself to save money

bit of a kick in the teeth from mother nature, probly just karma from permenatly driving around with no cat lol

haha i drive with a cat and i got no dents! I think you are onto something :)

Although mother nature must have got confused and assumed my parents cars dont have one either haha

Sorry to hear about your GTR mate, sounds like you got hit pretty hard :)

I had a chat with the dent vanish guy on the phone too, I'll probably end up stopping in soon to get the GTR quoted. I'm really keen to see how your car turns up, would you be able to post pictures for everyone to see?

I was also suggested by a mate who had a bingle in his WRX to speak with this guy http://www.dentsmart.com.au/index.html, said he does pretty good work too so I might get a quote from both and let you all know how I go...

One of the dents on my roof has cracked the paint so that's a whole different matter, anybody had work at Martin's Panel Masters in Ferntree Gully?

LOL @ the last technique video...pick of the comments:

"This is awesome! My car got stalled on the train tracks and I got hit by a train going 40mph! Using this technique I got every last dent and ding out, and have my car good as new now!"

Well I picked an awesome time to pick up the wifes new car....3pm Sat arvo :) I was in the old car that had already been accepted as a trade in when the hail hit in sth melb. Considering I was 5mins from the dealer and all the undercover spots were taken I just bolted there - well by bolted I mean crawled due to the fact I couldn't see 20metres in from of me. When I arrived the dealer was getting flooded due to the roof drains not doing their job and 2mins later the power went out putting the whole place in darkness. I had a quick look at the old car and spotted a few dints that weren't there before but it was nothing too serious. I think the workers at the dealership were so busy trying to stop the water that they just accepted the old car - BONUS :O

Not so bonus was the drive home in the new car wading through some flooded streets but no damage done.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
