Yeh, pain in the ass! I was coming home just as it hit too!! Grrrrr, got a few dents on the roof, but what pissed me off the most is that on the Tulla, a tree fell down as I was driving past, swerved and missed most of it, but what I didnt miss went through my front bar! Lucky it missed cooler and oil cooler!

I was caught in the hailstone storm lastnight around 6pm in Western Ring Rd :(

Traffic was stand still for around 90mins and i was in my brother's six months old VW Golf!

Car was in pretty bad shape and there was lots of dings on the roof + bonnet.

Lucky no damage to the windows and man we were so scared!

Marble sized hail. There was a lot but my mate said it wasnt damaging. The bad thing was the rain. some places flooded around half a foot.

righto cheers bud was worried i'd get back to dents all over and no windows lol feel alot better now :thumbsup:

    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done? 
    • Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.
    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
