Saw that Nene, is it that bad? Will he ever walk again?

I watched it on this link: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id...099&rss=yes

Seems the media is blowing it out of proportion. It was during practice for an event, not at an event itself. From the footage I see, he didn't "crash" the truck, nor would I call it a hard landing. :) Broken back my arse. Looks like his back just went out from the not-so-hard landing due to a previous injury to his back I suspect?

Another celebrity crying like a baby? Suck it up princess, I've crashed worse from higher drops on my pitbike :)

either way Roo he hurt his back, he's a celebrity and he's gonna get plastered all over tv weather he likes it or not.

I'm sure if you f**ked up your back, weather it be due to a previous injury or not, you'd be in a fair bit of pain and need some kind of medical attention. Sometimes it doesn't matter How fast your goin. or how high you fall.. injuries can still be bad.

I'm just criticising the way it was advertised.

Monster truck crash = a bumpy ride

Broken back = spinal injury

;)

I fractured my cheek bone, crushed 3 fingers, and sliced my face when i went into a barbed wire fence.

Yeah well you know my story. I've crashed at the race track at high speeds and walked away without a scratch ... then I crash my bike on the road at 50kph and I break my shoulder ;) Go figure!

both wrists, most of my fingers, left thumb, right hand, left forearm 3 times, right forearm once, cracked 2 ribs (one in a mosh pit), left leg a handful of times, left ankle 3 times, right ankle twice, left foot twice (once in a pit), oh yeah, and broken a few toes too.

I've only ever had 2 nasty spills and both on bikes that required a couple of weeks in RAH. The worst of the 2 stacks was on my mates wet back lawn at approx 15kph......nearly lost my right leg from 10cm above the ankle..........like you said Roo, go figure! ;)

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
