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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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?

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
