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.

update- just been to the docs for the results on the blood test.. clear of anything major like hepatitis.. but i did have abnormal liver functions! so i have to have a liver ultrasound 2moro!!

the doc told me there is a virus going around atm with the symptoms like mine.. nausea/vomiting/diarrhea for the first few days and then start developing flu like symptoms such as sore throat/cough/aches! apparently it originated i queensland

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....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
