Sau Qld - Blood Drive - 26/10


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

It's back and better than ever! The SAU QLD Blood Drive has been arranged for the 26th of October at the Edward St Donor Centre. The Red Cross has even been kind enough to organise parking for us - just working out the finer details of that at present.

Donating blood is a great cause and each litre can save 3 lives! Remarkable cause and with the great turnout we had last time, thought that we should do it again. Only, there's something a little different this time.... IT'S A COMPETITION!

After our last effort, Oscar from SAU VIC contacted me asking if they can conduct one as well. I mentioned that maybe we should make this huge and get the other states involved.... So, now we have SAU:SA, SAU NSW and SAU VIC coming to the party. They have contacted their respective donor centres and are all donating on the same day. The aim is for 150 donors over the eastern seaboard (and SA) from SAU on the one day.

Can you donate? http://www.donateblood.com.au/who-can-give/am-i-eligible

Who: Friends and Family of SAU QLD Members

What: Blood Drive to assist those in need

When: Saturday, 26 October, 2013. From 9am through to 2:30pm.

Where: Red Cross Blood Service, Edward St Donor Centre, Upper Ground Floor, 288 Edward St, Brisbane

Parking options will be provided once I have cemented it with the Red Cross

Why: Because donating blood is a great cause. It gives you a chance to help those in need, laugh at those who pass out/faint and smash VIC, SA and NSW

How: Register your interest and we will then secure a time for you.

Post up any questions here and one of the exec will answer it shortly. Alternatively, use the hyperlink in my sig to email me. :)

Last time we had 20-something donors, this time the target is still 30. Plasma also counts.

Let's get it happening and flog these guys!

Cheers,

Tony

I would be in for this if I wasn't still in hospital. I would also like to thank everyone in advance who donates blood as I had a transfusion after my surgery two weeks ago (I lost a heap of blood during the op and my haemoglobin was down to 56) I was meant to get 4 bags but got a massive temp on the second one.

so thanks again to all that donate your helping people like me who make stupid decisions recover and live : )

cheers, shaun

Blood and blood products really are awesome! I used to be a Nurse and I've seen first hand the amazing benefits that these products provide the ill, the stupid and the unlucky.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
