got SO close.. i was at work, thankfully 1 minute around the corner, so when it started looking pretty bad, flew home pretty much sideways and straight into the garage.

Just after that it got pretty bad. The people who I work for's car got about 3 dents in the roof, etc - so that could have been mine.

Avoided it fortunatley, was working in pindara at the time (pindara private hospital). I think thats near benowa (even if thats a suburb or whatever? :lol: )

One of the guys that works in the lab got hammered in his new lantra, not a clean panel on it. Also saw a brand new camry covered in damage, and a smashed rear window. Another guys missus' car (toyota cressida) got totalled..

When everyone started talking about hail i was shitting myself....

anyone get any car/house damage from that nasty hail storm in hte gold coast last night?

Warren.

was working up at helensvale that day and my gtr got slammed with it. couldnt move it either as there was no where under cover. :(;)

Will just say the aluminium bonnet has dents in it at least 1 inch deep and probably 4-5 inchs in diameter. even the drivers guard has dents. roof has probably ten hits and the boot bugger all.

just glad my insurance covers hail damage even thou the excess is $1500. :(:angry::(

I was gonna get a "I hate those Melbourne players.." sticker for my GTR, maybe I should do a group buy...

I feel your pain mate, my R still looks like a golfball after the storm before this one.

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
