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

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
