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?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
