To become a blood donor people need to be in good general health, weigh more than 45kgs and be between 16 and 70 years of age.

Generally, if you have low or high blood pressure they will not let you donate. However you can come and try on the off chance you wont have low BP on the day!!!

Oh ok, thanks for that. I'll pass for everything except blood pressure (I'm not exactly sure what my pressure is, but my GP says it could be a bit low). I might book it sometime in the future and just hope my pressure's all normal.

There is a FAQ on the donateblood website about blood pressure. It's actually about HIGH blood pressure, but I think the answer is pertinent:

Medicines for the control of blood pressure are acceptable, providing your blood pressure is adequately controlled and stable.

If you are on meds to control your blood pressure, you may still be an acceptable donor. Check the actual problem with your doctor, then ring the Blood Bank (13 14 95) and ask them.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
