just checking if anyone has been unwell recently like me?

about a month n a half ago i had the flu really bad.. i had it for about 10 days! i eventually got better and went on a holiday over to thailand (phuket). while i was over there i got sick again.. this time i had a nausea sickness. total loss of appetite, bad stomach pains and really bad dhiarrhea! i had it for about a week.. even when i returned home! i thought it was from eating something bad over there..

i have been feeling well for the last couple of weeks until friday night just gone.. the nausea came back and i have lost my appetite again.. pretty much the same as when i was on holidays! i had a really bad sore throat last night, and feel like im getting a bad cough!

i kinda think that all the sicknesses are linked in some way? alot of people i know have been sick lately

so has anyone experienced something like this??

I've been suffering from nausea for the past 2 weeks, feeling real lightheaded and having a loss of appetitite (which leads me to starve then I get even worse and start getting migraines). I left work early again today for this reason. I dont know what it is (definately not the flu), but if it persists for another week I;m definately taking a visit to the doctor for the first time in my life.

When people say they have the flu generally its just a common cold and they get over it in a few days. If your bed ridden for over a week with huge fever like symtems and you sleep most of the day you have real influenza, generally type a. Once you have had it you really cant get for a long time after as your body finally becomes immune and thats how it goes away. You will then stay immune for a long time after. Thats pretty much what the flu shot does it gives you a tiny dose of the flu to get your immunity up.

Sounds like you have a bad virus not associated with influenza go see a local gp.

Usually I get sick about once, maybe twice a year. This year I've lost count...

Had my usual sickness near the start of winter, then was getting over it. My boss went on holiday to Mauritius, came back to work sick (thanx boss), and I picked it up off him. No-one else did, and I think that was cos my immune system was still a bit low. That made me sick for a few weeks, but thankfully got better just before my holiday to Broome.

In Broome, we sunk bulk piss. Was f**king ace actually. But anyway, I didn't get sick like I did last time I did that & came home, but a few weeks after going back to work I was sick again. Since then I've just got over it (literally a day or 2 feeling 100%), then I've been knocked back down again. I'm at the end of another one now, sinus stuff annoys me sometimes & I cough every now & then but fine apart from that. I'm hoping now it's warming up that will be the end of it. But if not, then I'm gonna have to go to the docs & see if anything to do with work is affecting me, all flour n things like that....

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
