This is nothing to do with cars, but I'd like an outside opinion, especially if you have the same/similar problem... and if you have had anything done to it.

Well a weekend of skiing was trashed in one foul swoop... again my shoulder has dislocated (happens a few times a year) and has left me contemplating the rebuild!

Cheers

Scotty

well i would say have it operated on if u can tolerate approximately 12 months of pain on-and-off and lots of rehab.

i had my shoulder fixed in June and its still giving me grief now but its healing pain... the actual injury pain i was suffering became non-existant immediately after surgery...

u have 2 b prepared to baby it for ages too, i always think "oh i can do that" then i go to do it and its like ouuuuuuuuuch .. gets kinda frustrating after a while... but yeh im just looking forward to there eventually being no pain.

another thing to bear in mind is that itll never go back to 100%... ive lost 20% useage in my arm/shoulder which is now going to be a permanent disability... but i figure 20% loss is better than the 60% loss i did have...

good luck :sleep:

do it

although sometimes it can be infective tho, as i no a guy who used to have the same thing all the time (shoulder dislocated just by looking at it almost)

he had the surgery, landed wrong playing soccer once, and out it popped again

yeh my science teacher had a problem for quit a few years were her shoulder would dislocate about 5 times a year, she had it reconstructed, but it took just over a year and a bit before she could actually move her shoulder higher than her shoulder hight, she also had many many visits to the physio therapist etc for it, although she said it was worth it in the end

she still doesn't have 100% full movability and comfortability but she says it was way better than having it pop out all the time :sleep:

as she is very involved in diving snorkeling and other water sports she still constantly needs to visit her physio therapist, but yeh do it i reckon :bomb_ie:

Not the same but similar my bf has broken his collar bone. First time it healed average. Last time it has healed disgustingly and less than 6 months later he has just broken it again from the slightest pressure. The public system waiting list was 12 months to a specialist and 18 months to the surgery. He has gone private and has a specialist appointment Monday and shouldn't be long after that he has it plated and pinned. He is prepared for the pain as it will hopefully be the last time. How often does it pop out and can you live with it is the question you should be asking!

I had a heart transplant, and prior to that a Left venticular aid device and 2 pace makers and also a defb also installed prior to heart transplant.

I have been cut down the middle, accross the gut and I have about 10 random scars that are left from insisions made for drain holes for surgery that are twice as big as bullet holes. Also had a staff infection inside my pacemaker site and ventricular thrombosis all from the age of 23 onwards...

Not to mention weekly biopsies taken from my heart from 5 different spots with they place a tool down the left vein in my neck and pull off 5 chunks of heart meat which you feel when they do each one.

Now all that shit hurts and still going!!!

f**k that

Badass fall off my moto. Went into a tree at roughly 80kmh. Kept riding, with one arm since the other one was rooted as I took the blow with my left shoulder. Got to tha lakes servo up past sawyers valley and passed out. Woke up at RPH and later found out i had 4 broken ribs, cracked shoulder blade, tor all the muscle in my shoulder, fractured collarbone and best off all crushed a vertebrae in my spine. Had to wear a back brace for 6 months and also had to learn to walk again, v weird feeling. Its been a year roughly and still havent got all the feeling back in my shoulder and will prob have to do the same thing as you. Shoulder reco. As my shoulder sometimes pops out :wave: Dude i suggest you go for it lol we can go together....you go first kk ^^

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
