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!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
