Left hospital or just woke from coma.

Schumacher has been transferred to the University Hospital of Lausanne, the Swiss hospital confirmed on Monday (Sydney Morning Herald)

Moved to new hospital.

both mate.

Out of coma and hospital :)

Out of a coma doesn't mean that he is conscious, it just typically means that he is breathing for himself and responsive to external stimuli such as touch, whether there is higher brain function has not been revealed, as far as I have seen.

the coma was induced but they cut the medication to bring him out of the coma months ago... It's still obviously a massive positive that he's out of the coma now and has been moved from the Genova hospital.

Apparently when awake he is 'responsive', but the degree of that responsiveness has not been revealed. Highly unlikely to be the same after such a long coma, but there's no point speculating that he's a 'vegetable and will never see the light of day again' ffs

Michael Schumacher out of coma: 7-time world Formula One champion leaves Grenoble Hospital

Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is out of a coma and has left the French hospital where has been receiving treatment since his devastating ski accident in December, his spokeswoman said Monday.

In the surprise announcement, the retired racing star's spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm, said he had been transferred to a facility in Switzerland where he will continue his recovery.

"Michael has left the CHU Grenoble (hospital) to continue his long phase of rehabilitation. He is not in a coma anymore," Ms Kehm said.

"His family would like to explicitly thank all his treating doctors, nurses and therapists in Grenoble as well as the first aiders at the place of the accident, who did an excellent job in those first months."

The 45-year-old was transferred to a hospital in the Swiss city of Lausanne, hospital spokesman Darcy Christen later said, where the seven-time world champion will undergo further treatment.

"For the future we ask for understanding that his further rehabilitation will take place away from the public eye," Ms Kehm said.

No further information was released about Schumacher's condition, which has been kept under a tight lid since his accident in the French Alpine resort of Meribel on December 29.

He underwent two operations to remove life-threatening blood clots, before being placed into a medically induced coma.

His family announced at the end of January that drugs used to keep him in his deep sleep were being reduced with a view to bringing him back to consciousness, but few other details had filtered out since then.

Schumacher is well known for his love of adrenaline sports, and even after retiring from the high-risk world of racing, he kept pursuing other high-thrill hobbies as a pilot, an accomplished motorbike rider, parachutist, skier and mountain climber.

He survived a motorbike accident in Spain in 2009, during which he suffered head and neck injuries but was released from hospital after just five hours.

The accident on December 29 proved near fatal, but in several statements released to the media, his wife Corinna and two children said they remained confident that the man who defied death more than once on the track would pull through.

In Monday's statement, Ms Kehm said Schumacher's family wanted "to thank all the people who have sent Michael all the many good wishes".

"We are sure it helped him."

Yep, he's out of a coma. Pretty safe to say that it'll be years before he's ever at another f1 event, if he ever makes it to one again. His head injury was bad enough that they put him in a coma. That has to say something about the extent of his injuries and the sort of condition he will be in. I think that if his condition wasn't so bad then there'd be more news and would've been more updates over the past 6 months.

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
