Good Aaron,

Do you need physio and special exercises to do yourself?

Any help and advise is welcomed , looks like i will get to go home next week , i will still be in wheel chair for another 2months before i can put weight on either leg but at least i will be home ! will try attach pic of car after accident , thanks guys !

Hmmm...

Besides physio, I'd get some info on a TENS Machine (buy or hire) in order to prevent your leg muscles from atrophying (ie wasting away).

Acupuncture can also accelerate healing in some people (since they use it for the same on some football team members).

That pic makes me wonder how anyone could come out of that alive! Say a prayer of thanks?

Wow, like the others I have to say thank god you made it out of the accident in the shape you are. I guess it's good that you were in a car with the chassis strenth the GTR has.

I imagine after two months in a wheel chair you'll have the upper body strength where no one would mess with ya after they see your guns!

Again Aaron if there's anything we can do for ya, let us know.

A bit more info on this TENS machine if you can Terry sounds like something that could be helpful! I am also looking at lawyers at the moment so if anyone has used a good one or knows someone that has that might be usefull as well i / we have spoken to a couple of them so far to get an idea what i am entitle to. AND DUNCAN THE BOOT LID AND SPOILER ARE IN TOP CONDITION IF YOU NEED A SPARE I WILL DO YOU A GOOD DEAL ;) BUT THATS IT FOR PANELS ! Also i update facebook sometimes so if you want to be friends on there my name is Aaron walter should be able to find me , cheers almost time for lights out at rnsh :)

haha I only need motors! And it looks like yours absorbed a heap of pressure (+1 for big heavy cast iron blocks).

without meaning to get too personal....won't 3rd party injury insurance cover everything that has happened to you? It's not like you could possibly be more innocent in this "incident"...

holy shit balls man. that car is wrecked hard! It wasn't lucky you were where you were when this happened but your lucky to have the outcome and recovery! Put that bonnet up on a wall man. It's a testament to having some super human strength!!! :O

Best wishes for a speedy recovery dude!

Hi Aaron,

I've retired from pharmacy, but chemist shops that hire out walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, BP machines etc are most likely to have a TENS machine.

By applying pads to certain spots and then turning the current on, the muscles in that area continue to contract according to pulsations. This action should stop those muscles from wasting. Hope this helps in a practical sense & not just in theory.

Cheers,

Terry

sounds good Terry i will check it out , i think the hospital is taking care of shower chair and wheel chair im also working on getting a stair climber as well cause my house is two story and all living on the top floor , yes Duncan i will be going for 3rd party but getting a lawyer to take care of personal damages etc , i was on my way home from work so at the moment im covered by work cover .

Hey mate, good to see things are moving forward!

That pic is intense, thank god you had a decent car. It's just... scary, we always forget how much energy is involved in moving 1500kg at speed.

I was just wondering, do you have any memory of what happened? Don't answer if it's a sore memory though. Was just thinking everyone subscribed to this thread would want to hear your tale if you wanted to tell it.

Glad you're on the mend mate, best wishes.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not in any way a logical conclusion. Also, looking at those logs, I struggle to see how that much oil pressure can go away that fast unless you are sucking air into the pickup. Meanwhile the ECU voltage is chucking a huge wobbly which seems to be tied to the throttle position. 100% throttle results in decreasing voltage. It's a mess.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      So didn't get around to installing a manual oil pressure gauge and then decided to take the car for a cruisey drive to a cars and coffee and brought the laptop along with to get another log using more gears to see if its an oil pressure issue under acceleration or after. this log has 3 gears of WOT where as previous had 2 and the oil pressure dropped once on the brakes, and the same again happens here which is interesting as it shows it can hold oil pressure while under acceleration but once slowing or just the lower RPM after a pull pressure drops. I will be chucking a manual oil pressure gauge on to confirm but so far this makes me feel it is not an electrical issue. Something else i realised is the pressure sensor also is giving temperature information and the temp stays steady the whole time which makes me feel like the sensor itself is showing a true pressure reading.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
