So we were just awoken by a huge hailstorm that rolled in suddenly. The Acura and our roof are fvcked :(

The Z is perfectly safe :tup: :happydance: (sorry for anyone's whose isn't - I know there are a few Z owners in my neighborhood that don't use their garage...)

Here are a couple shots from the front door, which I could barely open cause the wind was blowing so hard. :ugh2:

Front door drifts of smaller pieces of hail (most are ~1" in diameter)

Another front yard shot - it covered the street in a layer of hail pretty damn quick.

:hello: those look smaller that what we got :ugh2:

I ran outside with blankets for the Acura while it was hailing (I was wearing protection :icon17:). I could see in the glare from the street light that it was too late and immediately turned around and went back inside. There's no PDR for it... panel replacement all the way.

Pintsize725 03-20-2013 03:08 AM
It sounded like it was about to break our double pane windows for a second. I was going to post a warning in the Austin thread but I assumed everyone knew about the warning. :/ Sorry James.
Wondering if the 350 has enough damage to be totaled somehow.

Pintsize725 03-20-2013 03:17 AM
I'm going back to bed and cancelling physical therapy. Consider this my good morning post. :|

LMBmikeZ 03-20-2013 04:48 AM
:hello: Morning JAR & Pint sucks to hear about the storm you guys got :ugh2:


At least both of your Z's are safe :tup:

happytheman 03-20-2013 06:32 AM
Holy Jeez! :eek: Sorry to hear about the vehicle damage Pint and JAR.

Tracie, I seriously doubt they'll total the 350. They'll "see what they can do to get you back in your vehicle". :shakes head: They didn't total my Mazda when a tree was dropped on it by a tornado. :mad: He said "they can amazing things with cars head days". :(

happytheman 03-20-2013 06:33 AM
Oh, good morning Z crew! :)

There were warnings? lol I had no idea :ugh2:

I just looked at the forecast, and there doesn't appear to be any more intense weather projected. Safe to drive the Z today I hope since it's time to go to work...

Upon morning inspection, the Acura is not near as bad as I expected. Definitely PDR worthy, which means the roof is probably ok as well. Already called insurance, and they will be sending out an adjuster to look at them later this week.

Yeah, YNN was talking about it all day. I just woke up, still feel like crap, going to check on the 350 on my way in.

Isn't that a TW channel? I'm not sure I get it on DirecTV. Either way, we haven't been watching TV hardly at all lately...

:tup: Wrapping the Z as a Christmas present so you can open it a few months later... I like it. Did you use one of those huge bows like in the Lexus commercials around Christmas time? :icon17:

Didn't see any obvious dents on the 350. Was in a hurry though. Meh.

JARblue 03-20-2013 10:10 AM
Mu, here's a link to a Rev D ESCL failing. IIRC this forum member had a Rev B fail, and replaced with Rev D under warranty. The Rev D then failed as well :ugh2: I still maintain this TSB (or recall or whatever the fvck they're calling it) is a half-a$$ed solution by Nissan :shakes head:

Planning on doing a homebrew oil cooler and DIY similar to ModShack but with braided lines, but have noticed a sharp, consistent rise in my oil temp since the change.

Before the change I would run at 200F all day, maybe up to 210-215 when pushing it hard. Now on the full synthetic I'm consistently running around 210, getting up to 220-225 under higher revs.

I'm not super concerned since I plan on adding a cooler in the next month or so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something major here - or if any of you have experience with this after the first change.

Oil levels are good, haven't seen or smelled any burn-off, everything else seems to be copacetic - any ideas/advice or am I just being overbearing?

:confused:
me too :confused: You are waaaay too on topic for me! :p ;)

The Acura has a fair number of dents, but I was surprised at how few significant ones there were. I must have still been half asleep when I went outside during the hailstorm to look at it :icon17:

I was pegged at 240 minimum oil temps yesterday while driving around Central Texas in 80 degree weather :ugh2: 220 would be an acceptable goal if I ever get an oil cooler :icon17:

Yeah, I guess we lucked out that the hail was smaller on our side. I saw pictures of larger than quarter size hail.

quarter size is definitely closer to what we had...

So I finally found out which carrier Adam's actually used for my shipment (I assumed USPS but it was actually FedEx). Tracking shows that it is out for delivery today; can't wait to inspect the shipment :tup:
