you could go and fill out the form.

when it gets to the living overseas questions, be honest and see what they say...

at the end of last year i went and when filling in the 'in the last 12 months' questions, it asked if i'd had chicken pox so i had to tick yes to that one.

got into the little room and the lady went through my form and asked when i had the chicken pox, i said it was in May and i was still able to donate

Got my letter yesterday too - for 18/12.

I'm checking with Nurse Debbie, but I reckon it won't be a drama, as they always need blood, and they particularly need it over the Xmas culling season on the roads.

My only concern is for James, who would be 1 week early.

(Strangely, Debbie initially told me Dec/3 was the eligibility date, which is why I confirmed 17/12. Anyway...)

More to the point Greg - I may be in QLD that day...
Well, that would solve the dilemma of the "1 week early".

Roy, not really, I trust you (though millions wouldn't!). More so I can get enrolment forms to those who haven't previously given.

Al, i i can stay off the grog then anyone can. That said if you have major plans the night before...i dont think beign hung over is a good idea. For no other reason then they are takign blood out of you and im told some ppl can be light headed etc after it and your not to do anything too intense after donating. So beign under the weather probably increases the chances of you beign even worse for wear after donating

Seriously- My question has not been answered

Is there a certain amount of time that is required to be alcohol free, before donating?

Greg can you send a form to: [email protected]

non in your system when you donate....

fairly simple isn't it?!

:) look at that.... i did a search :(

Alcohol - I had several alcoholic drinks before going to give blood. Can I donate?

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service does not take blood from anyone under the influence of alcohol because intoxication affects ones ability to answer the donor questionnaire and declaration and to tolerate blood withdrawal.

OK, checked with Nurse Debbie, who has responded thusly:
I've checked your eligibility again and the system is saying the 6th of Dec. You are actually eligible every 10 weeks but we send letters based on a 12 week cycle, as Doctors recommend only 4 donations a year.

So, it would seem there shouldn't be a problem.

Al - as I can't go this time (will be interstate) - I'll arrange a visit in a week or so. Will let you, and any other alcoholics know - so you can prepare.

This means you - Bec and Stickers :laugh:

Will also back it up with some eatery and poolery at the Playboy Mansion.

Well, I'm on. If you're going to Ash's bash, then you might not be on for Sunday.

There's an earlier post (#56, 4 above this one) regarding how they determine your next donation time.

Any other late starters want to join us Sunday 10am?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
