New thread to keep me interested for the day. I wanna read about your most disgusting, bloody, gory injury. Bring the pain!!!

Mine occurred when I was 13 on an end of year school trip to the movies. We went to Maccas in the city for lunch and while sitting on the old fibreglass bench seats they had I tucked my legs underneath a bit. I was wearing shorts and didn’t realise the seat had a small sharp spike sticking out just near the top of my calf. When I stood up in a hurry the spike not only punctured my calf but ripped a 14 centimetre long laceration down toward my ankle. I reckon it was at least 1 cm deep at the top and in no time my shoe filled up with blood which overflowed every time I took a step leaving bloody footprints all the way to the bathroom.

I managed to stop the bleeding with dunny paper and washed out my shoe.

After a painful tram ride back along St Kilda road to school, the nurse patched me up and sent me home. When mum saw it she raced me to the docs for stiches.

The next day she rang the school furious that the teacher hadn’t taken me to hospital.

In hindsight it was a pretty damn huge gash and I’ve still got a nice scar.

A 14 centimetre long rip in 13 yr olds leg is quite impressive.

Needless to say school trips to the movies and maccas were cancelled after that.

Playing rugby league in a final, i was in dummy half and i saw a gap and dived for the try line. The reason there was a gap, was that the goal post was between the two blokes. So i dived as hard as i could straight in to the goal post. Scored the try and dislocated my right shoulder, there was about a four or five inch height difference between my shoulders, a doctor put it back in on the field and i played the rest of the game.

As it turns out the Doctor didn't put it back in properly and i can now pop it in and out at will.

Um, mine is pretty gory..

Happened about 2 years ago when i was going for a bike ride (as i do). Was coming down Burke Road towards Kew direction at about 45km.hr (as you do ), when down near the shops there this woman basically cuts right out into the left lane from the right lane.. so of course she can get into that prime spot that she just had to get into at that second.. of course completely oblivious to said rider flying down road (legally mind you) even though she'd just overtaken me. Said rider has to slam on brakes to avoid slamming into dumb old bitch in car..

About the last thing i remember is flying over the handlebars at great speed. Remember sitting there few minutes later with people all standing around going "woa, look at this, you reckon he's alive" (or some such brilliant commentary), me going "er, no, i'm ok" ..then realise i have blood all over myself and everywhere else in abundance. Probably realise at that point i'm not so good afterall. Its probably the same feeling when somebody realises they're actually touching their brain when feeling their head to see why it hurts that little bit.

Ambulance comes. Takes me away. Worse thing is the only time i get to go in abulance i can't remember the ****ing thing ! :rolleyes::cool:

So anyway, was in hospital for two weeks. Fractured my elbow, kinda rolled when i fell so fractured cheek, about 10 stitches to left side face, chunky lip, took bit of ear out, big chunk outta shoulder, knee, and elsewhere. Benefits were Morphine injections (mmm, fuzzy) and cute young nurses on call at the call of a button. Anybody at the best of times would say this would be pure heaven - but while feeling pretty much in pain constantly not altogether the best. Also: trying to impress said nurses while not really looking the greatest and half your face is swallen up, not the best. Least it was a tough story to tell.

Funiest part: when i'm lying in the emergency entrance on a trolley, some chick pops down my pants to look at my winky - presumably to check whether it was still there, but you know, i could only hope. Then proceeded to cut all my clothes off. Now if only i could have that happen outside of a hospital :D this would be called "getting lucky"

So well that was that.

moral of the story...beware the cyclist!!

p.s. also note, i, like most cyclists carry a nice set of keys and am not afraid to use them either, and good luck trying to catch an addrenaline pumped cylclist.

when i was about maybe 6 or 8 running around barefoot at some place and this drunk guy pushes door open, it goes over one foot, almost lose 3 toes

another time was running, accidently kicked marble block and my toenail fell off

If you want gore, once i had to run my mates left ear to the hospital in a tupperware container so they could reattach it.

Glen was riding his road trail and i was a couple of cars behind him when the lady behind him ran up the arse of him at the lights.

2 years later his back has been fused and various other procedures, he can now walk again, the stupid lady that did it less than 12 months later hit another kid on a BMX when she was yelling at her kids in the back seat.

Anyway how the tupperware come about was the person who's driveway glen landed on was hosing all the blood off and found his ear and gave it to me. I nearly threw up.

i dont have a story myself but in high school a friend of mine was riding his bmx and somehow....(still puzzles me to this day) he got his nutsack caught between the rear wheel and the frame where the brakes are. needless to say he ripped a hole in his sacks and had to go to hospital to stitch it up. wats even more funny was the doc that did the stitches was female and he couldnt help crackin a fat...hahaha. ah top bloke, R.I.P Ash

i had a front doorway sliding thingo that compressed wen u opened it and me bein little my nanny didnt see my fingers through it and she closed it and chopped one of my fingers onto the floor (my left rude finger) and then it fell off and i picked it up and we went to the hospital where the nice man sowed it back on and now i have some lovely scars on my finger luckily i still have it or else id only beable to give one finger to someone. i got to play with toys in hospital

ive dislocated my knee and because of the huge force it broke both sides of my knee cap. they were floating around the inside of my knee. i got it x-rayed the the guy couldnt believe it. i had surgery the next day and couldnt walk for around 2 months after. that was around 3 years ago and to this day it still hurts especially in the cold weather. oh it also puts me back on crutches now and again and puts a big restriction on my skateboarding :rolleyes:

Great thread Ed!

12 years old:

Was pushing my cousin down a hill in a billycart. I let go. He turned sharply and stopped in front of me. I was still 'momentuming' down hill and ran straight into him.

Nice sharp right-angle piece of wood (thanks saftey-grandpa for that little gem) hit my leg and gouged out a 10cm x 2cm gash in my shin - right through all the skin and muscle and stuff - to the bone.

I couldn't feel a thing (torn nerves) and was OK until my cousin (who's now a cop in Perth) poked it with a stick and it made a 'clunk' noise - like the sound of stick hitting bone - then the blood gushed forth like the closing of the Red Sea.

I'd like to say I was brave and dragged myself 20kms though the bush to hospital - but I screamed and mum came :D

I still have a wonderful 'impress the ladies' type scar and cannot feel a thing in that part of my leg. Lucky I don't need to dial a phone with my shins that often...

January 3 2000. 3 days into the new millenium.

Was driving to the city with a full car in a little oldskool corolla seca hatch and someone swerved in front of us, we went sideways to the right, then swung sideways to the left (going at 80km mind you) then slammed into the gutter, the car flipped and rolled 6 times!

Mind you where it happened there was hundreds of metres of hugre trees withg a little gap of about 20 metres with no trees. We landed in the gap with no trees (The man above must of been watching out for us) Anyway I crushed my thumb, the window was open and basically my hand hit the ground with the car on top of it crushing my thumb to pieces, the car stopped on its side and the Jaws of life where required to cut all 5 of us out of this. To this day I still have no idea how we survived (especially after seeing the state of the car.. it was ****ed!)

Anyways 2 weeks later on the radio a survey was done saying that if you where in a car accident the most chance of dying would be if you where in a corrolla seca!! How is that for trippy!!

True Story.

i broke my leg last yr at the beach in phillip island. The ankle twised 180degrees. Had to get airlifted to dandenong hospital. Then they put a metal rod from my knee to my ankle with 6 screws in it. I just got it taken out 3 weeks ago.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
