Hi Scott, so sorry to hear your news.

The husband of a woman at work found out he had one the size of a cricket ball! They did an operation last year and he's come out ok. If you like I can get the info on the doctor's cause apparently he's one of the best around (confirmed by another co-worker who's father also had brain surgery).

If you were looking forward to it working on your car and the doctors didn't think it will affect your health then I say do it. Keep yourself in good spirits and doing the things that you enjoy and want to do.

Sorry to hear this Scott!

Is the growth a Glioma(eg astrocytoma) or is it benign?

If you don't know, they will do a biopsy to find out what type it is. It may be just a benign growth. I hope so - I pray so.

Sweeteners 951 and 950 in chewing gum and diet drinks can cause/accelerate gliomas. Stay away from them aka aspartame and acesulphame.

PM me if you want. Tez

It's a glioma don't know it's nature yet though its large and slow growing, nothing showed up in blood tests so hopefully it's benign. Doctor thinks surgeon will just take it out rather than biopsy but Monday will tell I'm going to professor mark sherridon at Liverpool and if he can't help Charlie teo just have to wait and see I guess, thanks for your thoughts.

Scott

One of my best mates had a large brain tumour removed (it looked like a clump of cauliflower!).

His was about the same size and it was located around the nerves that control the hearing for his left ear. He had his tumour sucessfully removed (about 10 years ago now) and is fine now. When I say fine but not perfect he lost all hearing in his left ear and was a bit vague for 12 months but certainly better than being dead.

Modern medical science is pretty amazing nowadays mate so you'll be right!

Things like this make you realise and then appreciate the more important things in life- family, friends and fun.

Yup, if safe medically to do so, retain your current lifestyle / your hobbys. Is the best you can do to keep yourself mentally stimulated and positive.

I wish you all the best through this challenge, and if the is anything myself or the club could do for you, just ask. I'm sure people can make it happen. :)

How are you feeling today Scott?

Some days when you wake up, it'll feel like, "Surely this is just a bad dream - right?"

As days tick by, even the emotions change.

Numbness > Disbelief > Anger > Despondency > Rationalising > Mustering faith to fight etc.

Even taste in the music one listens to, changes.

Anyway, a journey it is. And I hope your journey doesn't have many rotten bumps or quicksand!

Cheers for now!

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
