Nice work Ben - it will be great to get some more faces coming along ... what is the rest of people's excuses?

Oh, and the needle is not that bad - you just look away and stare into the pretty nurses eyes, and you won't even notice it. By far the worse part is the glucose test in the interview .... but don't worry about that - just make sure you ask them to get you in the side of the finger, not the pad. Last time the guy did it in the side and I barely felt a thing! The needle is a piece of cake. And it gets even easier the more times you go. Both Shaun (Evil34) and I were a bit pasty and needed an extra 5 minutes sitting down and a couple of Powerades the first time, but by the 2nd time giving we had no problems whatsoever. Plus, as others have said, the free cheese/biccies/iced coffees/sandwiches makes it all go down a lot easier :P

Remember everyone too, to have AT LEAST 2 litres of water in the morning before you go. Trust me, you will feel a lot better afterwards if you have lots of water in you!

Cmon guys - one day you will more than likely get someone pregnant and she has a baby. Believe it or not, many women have to have blood after giving birth - and sometimes the platelets are used for the babies too. Or imagine someone you loves gets into an accident and needs blood? Imagine had some lazy/nonchalant/apathetic people actually gone out and given blood (rather than rely on everyone else to do it) it could have saved yours or a loved ones life. It is SUPER easy to give blood, and you really could save someone's life!

People with legitimate excuses I have absolutely no problem with, of course :huh:

  • 2 weeks later...

Had a nice phone call from Red Cross on Friday thanking us for our support. He asked that I pass on the thankyous to all those who have donated blood through SAU.

Hope we get a big turnout on Saturday, and see you all at Red Cross (MODBURY)

Its not to late to join in if you havent already said you would like to come. It will cost you nothing to attend and you get free food and drinks and a chance to catch up with other SAU members.

yep and I will be a bit hit and run, since we have people coming over for lunch at 12pm.

Cool

Gives me an excuse to have a big breakfast as well. A bacon n egg sanga + a litre of water should keep the constitution up

-D

my being able to donate is a bit questionable this time around. been battling off a pretty heavy infection the last week n a bit, so we'll see i guess.

i'm scared of needles :yes: ......

same here.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
