The public health system is sometimes better then the private... I work with a LOT of doctors and they say the public places they work at just simply has better equipment due to government funding...

It's the way it should be :P

Hope the sex change is going well Paula :P

lmao hope your doing well

Yes Steve my penis reduction operation did go well....and no you cant have what was removed.

On a serious note due to the fact i was only born with 1 kidney my ability to filter unwanted toxins out of my system is a little diminished. This leaves me very exposed to what bugs are going around and generally (due to a lower immune system) floors me a little harder than most. When admitted i was so dehydrated i couldnt focus, my speech was impaired and balance and movement was also shot. I know, i know....it sounds like me most friday nights...lol....But i must admit it was a little bit too close to total kidney failure. This all came about from having 5 days of vomiting dia. and uncontrollable fever and being to pig headed not to visit a doctor...could have killed me if id waited any longer. Thanks to Stace for being so worried about me and coming home from work early and dragging me off to the emergency ward at the hospital.

Any body who isnt a registered organ donor on their licence needs to chat to their loved ones about it and make it happen.

Id even like to suggest that as a club we do a mass sign up and get the media involved as it may just prompt other car clubs to do the same. It also may change some perceptions of how skyline owners are viewed in the media, by the public in general and by the police.

Good to hear you can wear shorts now without causing a scene :)

Also good to hear that at least Stace has a level head on her shoulders :)

Hope you keep feeling better mate... I'll send some good vibes your way :P Also, if my car ever goes fast enough to kill me, you can have first pick at my organs :)

Hope u get beter man, That not good. Im already a donor 4 that same reason as i know people born with 1 kidney and they can get very ill very quick.

thanks mate...yes i was taking my good heath a little for granted a going far to hard for too long. This scare has reminded me that being alive to care for my family and car is far more important than hard living.

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
