I have to check Maria's Volvo in a few mins as it was too dark to look last night.

But my Mum's Mazda 2 looks like a golf ball.

...taken by a friend from my church. I believe that as well as Faulconbridge and West Springwood, Bilpin got hit.

* Edit:- Sorry, wrong section. Time to check Volvo now...

my old N/A that got COMPLETELY f**ked by hail.

The roof is complete bog hahahaha

new bonnet,

new boot,

new front and rear windshields,

fresh paint.

Was not fun. all from hail about that size Terry.

the hail literally went straight through the rear windshield. Didn't even crack the glass, it punctured through like a hole punch.

This was recorded about 4 houses down. The storm that did the damage.

I haven checked yet still at work if its that bad but im only assuming it is :( benifits of being in the car game though i know one of the paintless dent removers out

If you got hail the size Terry showed, and your car is outside, it be completely f**ked im sorry to say.

These are a couple from a friend who lives 3 doors down the street from us;

I was still at work, so the Stagea is fine, but when Shell heard the hail, she raced out to bring her car up into the garage.

Stepped outside and promptly got beaned in the head by a large hailstone, and in the shoulder by another.
Retreated to the house, and rode it out.

Her car was under a very leafy tree and this appears to have dampened the impact, but we still have at least 20 deep dents all over her little Mazda.
It was covered in shredded leaf litter, and a couple of large tree branches.

We're insured with Shannons, and they were great to deal with; they'd notified my repairer before I'd even had a chance to ring & arrange an inspection.

It's not insured for much; I think they'll probably total loss the car, and pay us out. Ideally they'll leave us with the car, and limit us to 3rd party for the future.

This would suit me, as we're about 6-12 months from replacing the car anyway; I don't want to have to purchase a new car right now.

I can't imagine what yours must look like Terry; at least we had a bit of protection from the tree.

Ok damage report new windscreen massive crack on it 2-3 massive dents on roof and quite a few smaller one same goes for bonnet and boot. Now claim insurance or get my dent repairer mate for a cashie

PDR is pretty advanced these days.

My jeep grand was hit all sides a couple of years ago. They repaired it completely with PDR for less than $5k within 5 business days.

The repair was fantastic and you couldn't tell it was ever damaged.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
