He posted on Sunday that he is in loads of pain still and moving very slowly. Also not up to visitors as he's struggling to stay awake. But he's put some pictures up and he seems in good spirits and joking about his "zipper" up the middle of his chest where they cut him open.

I've known Christina for a long time and he's just one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Friendly to everyone, and a wonderful husband, father, and advocate for things he believes in.

Such a shame such shit things happen to good people :(

I understand he is doing better following surgery and posted a few comments on facebook - Duncan or Ash may have more to add.

Wishing him a fast and full recovery!

Same, very unfortunate. I was talking to him not even 24hrs earlier working out when we were gonna sit down for a beer/bbq with his fam, and then this comes out of nowhere (as it does i guess). All very just really unfair for a bloke of his nature. Dude has had a bad run with the bike accident and now this :(

Nothing more than what Shell posted, one would think quite a long recovery time for him after something this major taking place.

I saw a further update from Bec today:

We are so grateful for all your generous support and so many, many kind offers of help. Christian is doing much better today after giving us a scare yesterday with breathing trouble. He is on the ward and hopefully will be home at the end of the week once they are happy with his lungs. Thank you with all my heart for looking after christian, myself and the girls. Bec xx

Keep up the best wishes everyone!

Hi all,

Am still in hospital, breathing issues caused by a collapsed lung and pneumonia.

Im still unsure what everybody knows, so a *very* brief re-encounter is that for various reasons, I had an annurism in my Aorta (growing for up to ten years they reackon). My Aorta was twice the normal size (7cm+ instead of 3.8cm) which broke my valve (blood going into my heart from the wrong direction) and was blocking arteries to my brain, it had also started "popping" and blood was leaking into my chest cavity. Without trying to be a drama queen but sticking with the short version, i was dead 4 times over. Now i have a new Aorta and (super noisy) mechanical valve.

I was on the heart bypass machine for a fair while so head isa little murky, few memory probs, but they reckon i'll come good eventually.

Hopefully if my stupid lungs get their shit together i'll be out on friday.

Thanks so so so much for the posts in here it really means a lot to me. Its been a scary and emotional few weeks but its so nice to read through these.

To try to help me remember stuff (and actually learn the reasons for things) im actually putting together a bit of a paper about it all so when its done i'll post it up for peopleto have a read.

Thanks again guys!

Glad to hear youre getting better.

And hope you get released soon.

Oh, and what can i do when i get home? I cant lift more than 1kg for 4 weeks... Was thinking doing an arduino thing but my head/memory issues might hinder that.

Diablo 3 is released soon.....

Wow Christian, hope you made sure that new gear they put into you was Tomei and not some cheap second hand N1 pump ;) Or noisy valve aye, maybe HKS SSSQ? Do you make blow off and flutter noise when you sleep now? That'd be super cool.

Arduino - I've been playing with it for the SAU:NSW super un-secret project. Let me know what you're up to and maybe I can give you a hand. But I am a bit of a hack.

If you want TV shows and stuff let us know. I've got lots of Top Gear UK and other stuff to watch. Also highly recommend Diablo 3 if you're into that sort of thing. Played the beta and it rocked.

Good to see you're back up and SAU'ing C!

Needless to say mate, if there's anything any of us can do just yell out. SAU NSW has a good track record when it comes to organising unlimited car vids when you need to kill time :)

Wow - you've been through a lot mate. Sounds like someone upstairs was looking out for you :)

Hopefully we can get involved somehow and the club can give something back to you to help you get back on your feet!

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
