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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
