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! ;)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
