happy new year everyone, first of all :)

now, hang-overs aside... has anyone been having headaches these past few weeks? last for a few days to week? People who almost never get headaches?

I've had this headache, and some general aches (back/neck) for the past week, and a wide range of friends have also said they've been having headaches they can't shake, even my brother as well.

My girlfriend thinks it might be the bushfire smoke? Which i think might be a good start, as my friends don't all know each other. In other words, it wouldn't be like, we were all at the same party, and all ate the same dodgy oysters. It's a wide mix of people, different parts of melbourne, etc...

I NEVER get headaches, so this is VERY strange to me as it's lasted for so long (bout 8 days now). And i find it very strange that all these other people i know are also having headaches, when they don't get them.

The only universal thing we could all have been exposed too would be the bushfire smoke, unless there is some other virus doing the rounds in melbourne?

anyone else have similar problems?

cheers,

daniel

I've been getting a very sore throat if I sleep with the window open.

Close the window = problem solved.

The major cause of headaches, is mild dehydration.

If your body is having to work a tiny bit harder to process all the smoke which is being pumped into it, and you're not drinking enough water to accomodate, then this will lead to headaches.

The heat by itself also plays a big part in this.

answer?

drink more water. :)

You'd probably need a really good masage from the Planet Holywood or something like that :).

I think you mean The Daily Planet....or so i've been told. :):)

Back on topic, yeah i've been getting little headaches, and i never get them unless i'm dehydrated. My prescription, drink more water and post back in a week. :D

The smoke will not be helping, as it lowers the oxygen levels and makes you have to breath harder. The dry heat that we have been having will also dehydrate you a lot quicker, and you will not notice it. I have found that on the hot days that we have been having, I can lose up to 6 Kg's from 9 am in the morning to 7 at night, just from water loss, if I do not drink enough during the day (I tend to drink around 6 liters of water each day).

maybe it's a little comedown for running around and shit (i haven't drunk for over a year) -

i do actually drink a lot of water. When i'm home, i always have a full water bottle around, and constantly take swigs of that.

I also drink a fair bit of water at work because we have those taps that chill the water.

And i'm not an every day coffee/tea drinker. Might have a tea or coffee, 2-3 times a week. Sometimes maybe once a week.

back/neck aches part of dehydration as well?

and just throwing it out there, anyone know much about malaria? i have another theory :wave:

you been getting bushfire smoke up there? it's really the only environmental (as in, living conditions, not in the conservation sense) constant... unless there is some bug/virus floating around...

EDIT: and i take it you only have headaches rarely? have u had a headache for a while? any other problems? i friend of mine was different in that he was having the breathing difficulties. Which obviously points a lot more strongly to the bushfire smoke. But had the headache troubles as well, same as his girlfriend. My girlfriend seems to be fine.

it's quite intriguing.

^ i haven't drunk for a year. i don't take anything, and i don't smoke.

It's not due to substance abuse, that's for sure.

EDIT: i think i'm slow, you mean, my problem is that i DON'T drink?

Guy's its caused by your MOBILE PHONE!!

You have been using more lately cause its Xmas and your ringing your mum etc etc.

SERIOUSLY!! In case you dont realise, it transmits RF power up near the same frequency that your microwave does that heats stuff!

Yeah I know its safe and proven by world experts to not be able to effect you etc etc - BUT its BULL!

Who is going to be first to admit that one of the worlds greatest profit makers could adversley affect anyone?

NOT a Govt that owns Telstra anyway.

If you want to know why I may? have any credibility see my website here:- http://www.cqdx11.com

Since GSM operates in 900 MHz & 1800 MHz bands using a maximum power of 2 watt for 900MHz and 1 watt for 1800Mhz, and Microwave ovens usually operate around 2.45GHz and generate around 700 watts i don't think you'll cook much with a phone.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
