Well its that time again where you sit around, eat badly and have ball drinking with family and friends. Only i have good form for falling through glass coffee tables and being rushed off to hospital where they refuse to stitch me up until im sober....never mind im bleeding all over the countryside.

So i need you all to go out and give blood for that inevitable fark up where i hurt myself. I gave about 3 months ago along with Sarah, Greg and James...though i don think they stockpiled enough for the magnitude of spill im set to have.

So, since the weather is a bit better, ill throw on a bbq once its all wrapped up as the Red Cross is only around the corner

I would be there, but im not eligable to donate :laugh:

Me either.

Can't donate as I'm an ex pom and probably suffering mad cow disease. I used to donate in the UK, but can't over here (neither can my partner, and she's been a vegetarian for 20 years, must be mad spud disease).

Given the choice of bleeding to death or taking some blood that comes from someone that may have eaten british beef, I think my choice would be to take the risk.

Juz, the needles are nothing, just don't look. I've seen someone faint after giving blood, the girl insisted she was fine, stood up too rapidly too soon, and promptly fainted in a heap on the floor.

Yeah i know they are probably nothing but i seriously have to have that kiddy patch thing to numb the area before i can have any needles. I've been in hospital a fair bit over the last three years and I faint even when i don't look unless i have the kiddy patch.

I had to have dental work done under a general anesthetic because i couldn't have the needle in the chair i just keep fainting and even though i told them to keep going if i faint after you faint three times they have to stop.

Its a long story as to why i faint but its the way it is, would they be able to give me the kiddy patch to numb the area first?

They don't make you do it standing up... if you faint you'll be fine.

I think they have some rules to do with fainting...

and since this seems to be the 'donate blood' revival thread (or was there an even older one from before I bother subscribing to vic forums)...

who's is the gts4 with the 'donate blood' sticker on the back (gtst4 - also drives another old datsun/nissan)...

It wouldn't suprise me if they did...

It almost seems like they don't want people to donate blood.

The list of things that stops people from donating is endless...

I've never been able to donate because I've always fallen into one or more of the deferral categories.

Some of the deferrals are in place to benefit the health of donors, but others just seem ridiculous. :spank:

I'm interested but I faint when I get needles so i don't know if I can.

I would probably have to speak to them first,

Is it possible to just come for the BBQ? :sick:

You don't need to have a needle - they can simply slash a wrist instead :spank:

Seriously, your support is appreciated, sorry you can't cope with the needle.

If you are serious about supporting the cause, how about a $ donation instead? Everyone that is ruled out for whatever reason - how about $s instead?

      NC MX5

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
