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

Sorry guys count me out I am no longer allowed to give blood since my DVT last year and they discovered my bloods retarded (like the rest of me) however if you can then go for it!!! Great cause!!!

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.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
