Aaron,

How are you keeping?

Good thanks Terry i had my 3rd operation yesterday and that looks like it! I hope , i am still in hospital but now the operations out of the way i can look at recovery and getting home ! thanks to everyone for the support , Aaron.

Good Aaron,

Do you need physio and special exercises to do yourself?

Any help and advise is welcomed , looks like i will get to go home next week , i will still be in wheel chair for another 2months before i can put weight on either leg but at least i will be home ! will try attach pic of car after accident , thanks guys !

Hmmm...

Besides physio, I'd get some info on a TENS Machine (buy or hire) in order to prevent your leg muscles from atrophying (ie wasting away).

Acupuncture can also accelerate healing in some people (since they use it for the same on some football team members).

That pic makes me wonder how anyone could come out of that alive! Say a prayer of thanks?

Wow, like the others I have to say thank god you made it out of the accident in the shape you are. I guess it's good that you were in a car with the chassis strenth the GTR has.

I imagine after two months in a wheel chair you'll have the upper body strength where no one would mess with ya after they see your guns!

Again Aaron if there's anything we can do for ya, let us know.

A bit more info on this TENS machine if you can Terry sounds like something that could be helpful! I am also looking at lawyers at the moment so if anyone has used a good one or knows someone that has that might be usefull as well i / we have spoken to a couple of them so far to get an idea what i am entitle to. AND DUNCAN THE BOOT LID AND SPOILER ARE IN TOP CONDITION IF YOU NEED A SPARE I WILL DO YOU A GOOD DEAL ;) BUT THATS IT FOR PANELS ! Also i update facebook sometimes so if you want to be friends on there my name is Aaron walter should be able to find me , cheers almost time for lights out at rnsh :)

haha I only need motors! And it looks like yours absorbed a heap of pressure (+1 for big heavy cast iron blocks).

without meaning to get too personal....won't 3rd party injury insurance cover everything that has happened to you? It's not like you could possibly be more innocent in this "incident"...

holy shit balls man. that car is wrecked hard! It wasn't lucky you were where you were when this happened but your lucky to have the outcome and recovery! Put that bonnet up on a wall man. It's a testament to having some super human strength!!! :O

Best wishes for a speedy recovery dude!

Hi Aaron,

I've retired from pharmacy, but chemist shops that hire out walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, BP machines etc are most likely to have a TENS machine.

By applying pads to certain spots and then turning the current on, the muscles in that area continue to contract according to pulsations. This action should stop those muscles from wasting. Hope this helps in a practical sense & not just in theory.

Cheers,

Terry

sounds good Terry i will check it out , i think the hospital is taking care of shower chair and wheel chair im also working on getting a stair climber as well cause my house is two story and all living on the top floor , yes Duncan i will be going for 3rd party but getting a lawyer to take care of personal damages etc , i was on my way home from work so at the moment im covered by work cover .

Hey mate, good to see things are moving forward!

That pic is intense, thank god you had a decent car. It's just... scary, we always forget how much energy is involved in moving 1500kg at speed.

I was just wondering, do you have any memory of what happened? Don't answer if it's a sore memory though. Was just thinking everyone subscribed to this thread would want to hear your tale if you wanted to tell it.

Glad you're on the mend mate, best wishes.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
