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

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.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
