Sorry for taking so long to get back to this :D

I had a lot of trouble making a group booking, but we now have a booking for 6-8 people (between 5:30 and 6:30) on Thursday the 1st May (earliest group booking available) at Pelican Plaza Donor Centre (North East Rd just past Tea Tree Plaza) - although the city is more central parking is almost impossible and too high a chance of getting doors bumped.

If you can make this date can you please post or PM me.

Yep I am 100% in. I have purposely not donated (even though I am due) for the last month to do this.

Shaun if you haven't donated before then you have a 15 minute interview with a Red Cross person to make sure you are eligible - then whammo you start giving!

DOH! I'll be on my way to the Flinders Ranges - I'll just have to donate here in the city another day. Glad to see this go ahead though - Donating blood is a fantastic thing to do.

It began for me in high-school when one of my mate's mum was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Regular blood transfusion (of donated bloods) kept her going for another 2 years, and her dying wish was that everyone who knew her donated regularly - and I have ever since.

All I can say is, the advertising is true. You really are giving the gift of life :D

Here is a copy of the donor form. Donor_Questionnaire.pdf

If you answer yes to some of the questions eg have you ever had Cancer including a melonoma? this wont exclude you from donating but they will follow up in the interview with other questions. In my case the melenoma was over 5years ago, so I'm OK to donate.

You get free food and drink even if you they tell you you cant donate, so come allong and give it a go.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
