hahaha there are some fcuking funny posts in this thread! top end rebuild? athsetics? :) they could both do with some work :)

good luck mate hope to see you out on the track again soon.

Back in your box jack!! And thanks mate, and to everyone else too.

Seriously, I coulda cried when the surgeon offered me the surgery and told me 80% probability of total success. The senior medical rep down here had said in an official report I had no chance of successful surgery, pretty much sealing my early discharge and loss of pension.

Seems I may be in the RAAF hospital for about 2 weeks, but I wanna be out and in a pool for rehab ASAP. Might even make around the bay or get enough points in the club champs to challenge, I'll just run 2 cars :)

Didn't think I'd get time to post again. A lot to do before being laid up I guess.

My thoughts will be with you all as I lie about waited on by cute RAAF chicks.

Be good and I'll see you or chat to you all soon.

Brief Update

Troy and I visited Geoff earlier in the week and all went well with his surgery.

He was able to walk around (little bits at a time), looked fantastic and was not hooked up to any machines, which is fantastic.

He is hoping to be home either tomorrow or Monday.

Just had word that Geoff has been released from Hospital and will be recovering at home for the next 3-weeks :angry:

Stay tuned for his special presentation night where we say goodbye to Geoff... and welcome Gwen!

You go girl!

You two will keep!!

It's true, I engineered an escapefrom stalag Laverton today achieving complete surprise.

By the time I saw my doc, got convalesence leave/drugs/transport home I was pretty tired and slept for a few hours. Feeling generally pretty tired and sore still but I walked almost 1 km this morning. All in all I'm extremely happy with the outcome of the surgery so I'll be a lot more active soon. I just need to take it a little easy for a couple of weeks then I'll be back into it. I was actually up and shuffling 4 hours out of surgery. I even got bored with playing with unlimited dosages of morphine. Discovered 5 mg is enough to knock me out for 2 hours in about 3 seconds :P

I appreciate the thoughts and kind words and visits. Scratchies were a bust but still counting on the lotto tickets Bec :) Looking forward to sharing first div with you.

Time to crash out again. Seems too much sleep is not enough right now.

Troy, you know you are always welcome mate. Can't drink right now but I'm silly enough as it is :)

In fact if anyone ever feels the urge just lob by. My number is 0408 124 767 for directions.

My plan from here is quickly get upgraded medically to a status where I keep my pension, immediately take long service leave and submit my discharge so I will not be working for the Army for the remainder of my time in Victoria. Got a bit to do on the home before sale so that takes priority, then replace the engine in Red with a 26, as well as fill requests for about 40 HICAS bars. Who needs a job!!

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
