I sort of love the detective work of tracking genetics, ancestry, biochemistry and microbiology most of all.

For instance us Asians tend to lack Lactase (thus lactose intolerant), Aldehyde Dehydrogenase (we get drunk quicker), don't process Vit A as well as Caucasians and we're often born with big teeth on small mandibles (common to have wisdom teeth extractions)...

So you carry your bottle of Lacteze to dinner?

Funny how I sometimes recommend it but I don't have any myself.

Birds I don't have dairy very often away from home, and I'm usually too full to order a cheese platter.

Yoghurts can get me going sometimes.

I think Lactaze or Tilactase has short dating for those considering it.

interesting

I'd love to find something to help me with my sleeping issues, but I don't want to take any medication so I probably can't

I don't like taking prescribed drugs myself unless absolutely necessary - but supplements are a different matter (when justified).

I may have mentioned before - maybe not - that different supplements may be more useful than others depending on the type...

Insomnia Type I - where one can't get off to sleep...

Insomnia Type II - where one wakes up intermittently

Insomnia Type III - where one wakes up too early and can't go off again

Rider:- Rotating shift work, pregnancy, cardiac issues (like fibrillations and mitral valve weakness) can upset all of the above

I have insomnia type 2 most nights and type 1 about once or twice a week, when something upsetting has happened during the day or I'm anxious. I usually get between 3-5 hours a sleep per night for about the past 7 years. I'm pretty used to working full time, studying part time and going to the gym 6 days a week on little sleep now; however I think lack of sleep affects me emotionally.

A long time ago, I had insomnia of a similar kind for over 5 yrs Leesh. I used medication to 'reset' the sleep pattern so to speak over a few months. I went days without sleep sometimes. Eventually it caused me some physical health issues.

Also, you fall into a pattern and the 'lack of sleep' thoughts further add to your stress ,causing more lack of sleep.

The medication I used basically 'puched my lights out' at a time when I wanted to go to sleep. It had some side effects that I would say are nothing compared to long term lack of sleep and go away the moment you stop taking them.

Go ask your doctor to help you out there it's worth it.

If you want a otc supplement try Dorian Yates GH Blast. It has GABA, ZMA, arginine glutamine and macuna purians in it very good testosterone and GH support and assists sleep

I have a hormone imbalance and my body produces excess testosterone, so is this supplement appropriate for me?

From what I understand all the claimed test booster do not boost testosterone they support the natural balance between test and estrogen. There is not artificial boosting at all. That ingredient macuna puriens helps with the balance. And if your test is high, lucky you because most of the 'normal range' levels sited by western medicine are too low. It has been proven that test from ancient non-westernized humans are close to double the level of westernized men. They also have non existent rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and hormonal issues we have. So I would not worry really because men with so called normal range test are less likely to create waves and a lot easier to control.... exactly what the government want.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
