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.

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
