Just trying to read up on it now, One report says a broken back, another just says damaged his spine... i guess we'll have to wait and see what they say tomorrow. There's pics of it if you Google his name.

This is what one of them say...

CHANNEL 7 star and V8 Supercar driver Grant Denyer is recovering in hospital after surviving a serious accident during a monster truck show stunt.

The diminutive Denyer - made famous as Sunrise's weatherman - was trapped under his 6.5 tonne super-sized truck at Dapto after it flipped during a demonstration for a Monster Truck Championship to be held this weekend.

Denyer suffered suspected serious back injuries and was rushed to hospital this afternoon.

"Yes, he was in a monster truck crash and has been taken to hospital," Seven news and current affairs chief Peter Meakin said.

"The injuries were thought to be serious, and he is being kept in hospital for the time being.

"But from what we've since been told we believe he is going to be OK."

Meakin said Denyer, 31, was not on duty for Seven but competing in a monster truck sport event.

"Grant has been involved in the sport and motor racing for some time," Meakin said.

"But this caught us by surprise and and we're just hoping and praying the injuries are not as serious as first thought."

Denyer - who could not be reached for comment - was expected to recover enough for an interview on Sunrise tomorrow.

Ohh, and 1 more thing, if you think that your Super will see you past retirement, you're dreaming. Unless your a politician with a $2 million package waiting for you, you've got no chance. In 10 years the average price of a house will be close to $1 million, by the time you retire that figure will at least quadrupple.......you'll be lucky to buy a new car with your Super money.......so get smart and start planning now.

haha, funny how we were only discussing this the other day........biggest insurance company on the planet AIG with over a trillion $$ in assets needs the help of the US Reserve so it doesn't go belly up while all the fat cats upstairs that treated Wall Street like a Casino walk away millions $$ to retire on.

Still think Super is the way to go for retirement?..........maybe property investment ain't a bad idea after all.

anyone know mark denyer (former sunrise weather guy) he broke his back today trying to jump a monster truck over 6 cars... poor guy :)

so Norman Freeman dieing is nothing to worry about

um can you say lag monster Ryan will leave nice trails but :)

it wont be as laggy as you think, with a .63 rear and a machined out wastegate, We have exactly the same turbo on my mates RB20 and thats driveable lol......wait n see. Plus im over too much response....too much wheel spin straight up gets a little old.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
