I just set there cussing the Nissan dealership that was supposed to have fixed the issue under the recall they issued on it. So it is fixed now as I pulled the fuse. Freaking Nissan!!!!:shakes head::shakes head::shakes head:

LOL, better be glad I wasn't there I would have been rolling on the ground

Ran a rally on backroads with 36 other cars yesterday. Ranged from Ferrari 458, lotus Elise, maserati to BMW m6 and m1s, to various American muscle. I was only JDM and only Z represented. But, hung up there no problem. Good people, good run! There was a Honda there... but ya... nasty trashed looking fart can mobile so I don't count it lol
Off to cars n coffee this morning, and an import meet later today. Any luck, will see some qualified Z-girl material to post here

HP & Fire Dept were excellent keeping me straight & getting out of car.

I REALLY wish people would quit running stop signs. Around here, you're lucky if people ever stop at one. Police included.
I know I've ticked off more than a few people behind me when I stop, but they can just suck it.

I'm glad you weren't injured any more than you were. Wish it hadn't happened at all, but glad you're alive an kickin'.

PT comes by 3x a week for pelvic exercise; they don’t seem to be concerned too much about my back/ as it’s got a little hardware & doing ok.

A girl in an suv blew through a red light and t-boned me. I ended up with a minor concussion and a broken shoulder. Pulled her out of the car (she was "in shock") it completely reeked of weed and her grinder was on the ground.

Looks like the L2 and not the L1 shattered. Yes the spine is good because of the fixator rods. Did you ask if they used a push rod in your back? Just kidding wanted you to laugh a little.

The pelvis is normally non operable unless severely fractured and displaced. It heals by it self. Your young it should heal faster. Are you on full weight bearing on Both legs?

Welp, you have a goal for your new Z - get your engine rods in titanium to match your back!!

Laughter is good medicine right?

(or, after the incoming lawsuit, put titanium in your GT-R ;) )

Nope, 50% left leg ... I’ve been on a walker since leaving hospital 2weeks ago.
Surgery not required on pelvis but broken in groin area; worse on left side.
As that’s where the PT is actually doing therapy.

Learned on sunday that SPL Traction arms do not like the sport rear caliper.

http://i64.tinypic.com/smpyx0.jpg

I will have to take off the traction arms every time i want to replace rotors :shakes head:

Albeit the traction arms definitely improved the feel, this makes me pissed off they didn't design around this.

I sent SPL an email about it and apparently they weren't ever aware this was an issue. In a future re-design they are going to work around this and prevent this from being an issue in the long run :rolleyes:

My home remodel has gone way over budget.... Maybe another day down the road. =(

If anyone is interested in the next couple of weeks I'll be posting up a new CJM S1.E+Hat+E85 plumbing, Walbro 485, Bosch EV14 1000cc's, and a SpecialtyZ remote tuning package w/ flex fuel, boost control, and all the necessary sensors and solenoids.. feel free to hit me up before then if interested. Spooler may take the fuel system off my hands.

Got everything with Black Friday discounts so hoping to unload it all for what I paid.

With E85 can it run with human pee too?

I’ll think this would be the last straw Moderators would bann me for trolling!
