im sure it can, but at what cost?

my gf's 2yr old swift got quoted 6k repairs and its only 15k value

My car is over $50k, so it must be worth it for them.....

Daniel thanks for that, no damage to my cars.

Paul evenw ith that damage it is usually worth it,

last time I had a car written off apparently the deciding factor was 75% of car value, so in your case they will spend up to 11K to fix.

My R33 GTR also got hit by the hail and was worried that the car would be writen off due to roof damage the bonnet is really bad so I thought it would need to be replaced after going to a pannel beater for my my insurance (just cars) they said they could fix it also using the paint dent removal

Just been through the entire process with Just Cars, for two cars.

What a pleasure to deal with. Took the cars to the assessment centre on Hood Street, Airport West, they deemed them both as total loss write offs.

Assuming I get my money on time, I have no complaints.

I got stuck in it driving on the tulla at the calder merge in the wife's Dualis. Her car goes in Feb 13th for repairs. RACV and they were really quick about it. It's her second brand new car that has been hit with hail damage! She was hoping for a write off as new for old but they are repairing with paintless dent removal mob from QLD that RACV got down here especially for this.

if it's on your front lawn they can't touch it. if it's on the nature strip between the footpath and the road, it's council land and they can take it.

Its on my front lawn now, so they can't touch it, Its going scrap soon just gotta get a few panels off.

We noticed some hail dints on my partners car last weekend, we took it in & it'sgot 350+ dents on it.

I took mine in today & I have 60 on the roof, 3 on the bonnet & the same on the boot & some on the quarters.

They quoted $1667.50 to do it, but my excess is a grand. Shannon's said they're not penalising drivers for claiming.

Now I have to pull a grand out of my arse to fix something you can barely see. Meh.

That's not bad for ~70 dents, where'd you take it to get that quote?

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
