Definitely a virus - a flu - rather than bacteria.

Antibiotics are no use.
Herbs like Echinacea are no use now.
Too late to run it off.
Too late for vit c.

If you're finger nails have white flecks take zinc.
Chinese acupuncture can be of great benefit and works better on viruses than most other modalities
Abstain from dairy since dairy promotes more phlegm production
The back of the neck has two energy points that if chilled permits flu to grab hold; so wear a scarf on cold mornings and after dusk; and finish your evening shower with really hot water on the back of the neck.

Walks in the sunshine

Eating plenty of fresh veg and fruit
For post viral infection try to get the herb Neem in capsules just recently and take them.

Hope these hints help!

Hope it's temporary.

Normally September is past flu season but doctors think there's a repeat set.

I think though that once the westerly winds start up any day now (in Sydney at least) flus will be done and dusted.

Well that didn't take long. Westerlies have arrived.

Probably a few days of these.

Maria and I have had our first ever Fluvax during the week. It was the trivalent type since the quadvalent one is too scarce and extra batches may not arrive until mid-May.

Those people who are sensitive to egg are advised to desist.

I don't know the pharmacological aspects Birds but the symptom warnings include, nausea, vomiting, fever and upper respiratory tract complications. The last two I can only assume are a consequence of live vaccines.

The first two due to egg albumin should also mean that other live vaccines grown on egg will also cause reactions in other instances. I wonder if tetanus is like that - hmm maybe not. I forget.

Flu season is not meant to peak until late this year (here in Australia). Forecast peak is mid August. Usually most post viral bacterial infections requiring antibiotics die off after early August. So this year, antibiotics for post viral infections will in that cast extend into mid September.

Yes Dave, they have been since the 50s. That's why Golden Staphylococcus has mutated ahead of each new antibiotic for example. There have been decades of overuse of antibacterials aka antibiotics against viruses which they were never intended for nor could they defeat.

Now there are forms of Golden Staph called VRSA and MRSA and other superbugs MERS which can unleash a pandemic.

Various viruses can unleash pandemics too.

Twas demoralising after WW1 and WW2 to witness millions of people dying of infectious diseases straight after conflict ceased.

It really doesn't help that people go to the doctors at the first sign of a sniff, get some antibiotics and introduce it to the virus instead of letting their immune system do the job for small shit. Not only this but the heavy burden on our bulk billing system costs unnecessary millions a year.

I've had antibiotics before - it made maybe 1 day's difference to recovery. And one time I ended up sicker for longer because the antibiotics killed my good bacteria too.

Antibiotics are good for infections - what they were designed for. Not for colds, flu or minor irritations.

Yes they've been horribly over prescribed, now we're paying the price. Researchers are finding bacteria resistant to most types of antibiotics - this is a real worry.

The other problem is that people take antibiotics and then stop as soon as they feel better. This just makes the bacteria / infection angry and it mutates (simplistic view, but you get the idea). If you take antibiotics, then finish the course so you've positively killed whatever it was you were trying to kill.

Nanites are the answer.

Well over the past 7 days I've been belted by probably the worst head cold I've had in years. Started spluttering last monday, toughed it out at work till Tuesday, thought I'd work from home on Wednesday so I don't spread it in the office. Then Thursday....felt like I'd walked in front of a freight train. Struggled to get form bed to the kitchen to make a cuppa. Bed ridden till saturday. Back at work now but absolutely not at 100%.

I tried everything!

Heaps and heaps of water, citrus fruit, heaps of veggie soups, protien, low carbs etc. Hot showers, heaps of clothing to sweat it out.

Its getting round guys - be wary!

Didn't vacc

Didn't get it

Actually maybe I did, I don't know...I was pretty sick for a week and spent two days in bed but could have been a bad cold

Being on next year

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
