Just confirming that the hairdresser car is substantially waterproof at this stage. GT-R in the car hole safe and warm.

Strangley enough the only real arse hat i noticed on the freeway yesterday during the storm was a WRX driver cutting up the emergency lane...mmm typical lol.

My hilux got hit :)

New bonnet required ;)

My boss's Skyline is f**ked. Pretty much every panel is damaged, windscreen cracked, rear wing damage. Will be a write off. (As will his Fairlane, Corallo and BA Ute.)

A work colleague had three cars written off in the driveway and a tree fell on their house.

:)

I noticed 1 dent on my bonnet this morning on the way out to my 2 wheeled dak dak, will have a closer look at the line when i get home.

Woot, no hail in the hills (no power either) but tonnes and tonnes of rain... I'm honestly amazed that the 28year old porsche with its huuuge manual sunroof was completely waterproof!! Afaik, dad's fairmont got absolutely rooted.... Going to call Hyperdrive later and see if my GTR survived....

Reports that the roof collapsed at Alf Barbagallo motors onto the Ferraris and Aston Martins. ;)

Bardly, run down and take a pic :)

I am in Adelaide as of 8am yesterday morning and until this Thursday, I missed the weather but apparently skylights on my roof have smahed and flooded the place, nice. Also my dads BFII XR6 is battered the hell with dents.....

My GTR was cosy and garaged.

Had to go get food so took Porsche. Now 1 head light is out and wiper don't work. So crawling through the hills, barely being able to see and hitting huuuge puddles I didn't know were there was shit pants scary...

But, my damn car fixes itself! When I got home, still no power so thought I'd go to mums. Got into car, turned it on and wipers start randomly working!! Then all of a sudden, other headlight starts working!! Epic car, I love ya!!

I saw this big black lady running to a bus stop for cover when the hail came down really aggressive...

She didn't make it without a few fist size ice blocks hitting her back and shoulders lol....

Sorry I cant help but laugh bahaha She got hit hard by hail... Was like a war movie bahaha

(If your on SAU big black lady please forgive my laughter) lol..

I'm sorry to hear that some cars got damaged, hope you guys get it all fixed up soon!

Could of been worse... you could of been that big chocolate lady with dents in your back and shoulders :)

^ ha ha looks like the tunnel turned into a river.

Just driving around S. Perth now it looks like almost every parked up car has been ruined by hail. Some shiny beemers and mercs all ruined.

Got totally pwn'd. Just got back from the shops and got the shopping in and figured I'd better get the car in the garage. *Chunk* *Chunk* *ChunkChunkChunk*... Nooooooooooo!!!

All I could do was watch while the hail pounded my baby - alarm screaming out in agony. She now looks like a golf ball. Thankfully Just Car have agreed to cover it and are sending an assessor tomorrow. Fingers crossed for a new paint job - some of those dents aint getting pulled (like the ones on the a-pillar and front fender).

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
