great, i have just fractured my forearm bone at the elbow playing basketball... doc has given me 3 weeks with my arm in a sling and of course i can't drive my car (left arm)

it looks like i will miss the upcoming DECA day, which I was really looking forward to :kick:

everytime i think i have my car ready to do an event, some problem comes up and i miss out... this time my car was already to go... and now i have a broken arm

will be catching the train to work... again

so if anybody has an auto r33 they wanna swap for my 5sp for a couple of weeks let me know;)j/k

have a good long weekend guys (and girls)... drive safe

You were given codeine for a fracture?

Damn.... I want your doctor!

and i thought it was just standard practice that they hand out double demerits on all long weekends/holiday periods now....

can anyone confirm/deny?

How'd you break it basketball nick, getting a little physical on the court were you. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Sucks about DECA though, your missing out on making more photos like the one in your avatar! There's always next year though.

I havent seen anything in the papers saying that there was double demerit points, not to say that there isnt. Only one way to find out...

he he nah i wasn't getting rough... just on fastbreak, going for a layup and got hammered... the other guy landed on me, i landed on my arm... last time this happened i had to get 6 stitches in my chin... non contact sport my ass!

there is still a chance i will make it to DECA... even if i have to change gears with my right hand!

yeah it was a cheap one and i let him know... he apologised though so was all good

at DECA will be okay just put it in 2nd, pump the clutch and away you go (i don't think i used 3rd at all last time)... its just the drive up there that will be a pain in the ass... or elbow in this case

yeah i have done both ankles before (never my foot tho)... basketball is killer on the ankles but im sure i dont have to tell you! i just hate getting injured cos someone isn't good enough to play you straight up and has to use a cheap shot to stop you...

hope the foot heals quickly

ps. anyone who drives a silver r33 and is playing bball............. be careful!

basketball is a killer for skyline drivers!

about 6 weeks ago, i tore a ligament in my ankle playing basketball :cheers:

its better than a break because you don't need plaster, but a bad tear is also worse because even now 6 weeks later there is still pain and a small amount of swelling. when a break heals, its good as new

you sound shocked: codeine is available over the counter...

(great for pain :) , terrible for your liver :P )

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
