TM7GTR

saw a black hektic-uleh spec r33 yesterday... dumped at the rear only with ridiculous sized rims. Mate, you drive like a dick

Is that a carbon front lip I see ^ ? Very clean looking car man

damn that's nice, haven't seen it around canberra though

that sky blue 34gtr is the famous autostyle car

it appears everyone is an expert ^ ... well worth the money, hold on to it if you don't get what you're asking

Interior and engine pics??

not talking about power lifters here buddy, talking about the average joe. leg press is an isolation-based exercise

Fair enough man, I'm not hating on what you're style of working out is, I'm just voicing an opinion like everyone does. All i'm saying is I personally measure ability to lift heavy weights by doing a proper set, with proper form. If I can only push out 1 rep for a certain weight, I know for a fact personally, that my form wouldn't quite be as good as dropping that weight a little bit and pumping out a full 6-8 rep set. I'm not saying don't go heavy. If you do 6-8 reps of say, 5-10% less weight than your supposed 1RM, then you are working just as hard (actually tearing the muscle fibres more), and still very heavy (on the basis that you're struggling like a bastard to get those last reps out). Personally I feel that is something to be just as proud of, and possibly the next week even, you should be pushing to get those 6-8 reps on what was your previous "1RM" was, because doing a full set will increase your strength more than seeing how much you can push out for 1 rep.

Doing a 1RM test isn't gonna make you any stronger.. not only that but it's a great way to injure yourself. Either way, if you're talking about measuring and comparing, it's more of a power lifting statistic, so if you are a power lifter than I take back my comment.

What's the big fuss over 1rm figures here? That's just a show-pony way of saying "yeah, I lift!".

The answer to this depends on a few factors. What are your goals? To gain mass, or to gain a strong lean build? If I was you though, I would be aiming for 10 reps as that will increase not only your strength, but your muscular endurance (i.e. you wont be wrecked after 3x6 reps) once you reach 10 comfortably, increase the weight and aim for a rep range of 6-8 again, followed by aiming for 10 reps again.

I understand what you're saying here, but I wasn't saying you should replace squats with the leg press. I was saying it is an exercise that is also very effective in building up your legs, and releasing growth hormones which in turn aid in the build up of other muscles (the weight doesn't have to be specifically loading on your spine to release growth hormones, any form of weight bearing exercise will have these effects as you are forcing your body to adapt, and therefore grow). So it has those effects, as well as a good isolation of the legs (quads, hamstrings, glutes) without the stress on your back, as some people may have back problems which prevent them from squatting heavy enough to build their legs. I'm not saying to replace squats with a leg press exercise, but rather to do both as they assist each other. This also makes it a good exercise for beginners. The compression on your spine also isn't the way to go about building your back strength, nor does it build your hamstrings as effectively as say, a deadlift (if we're talking about compound movements here, not isolation). Squats target your core strength much more than hamstrings, your legs aren't your center of balance. So yes, replacing squats with a leg press machine or any leg machine is absolutely stupid, but what is more stupid is to think you don't have to do leg press exercises as well.

That said, the heavier you squat, the more pressure compresses down on your spine. The leg press can be just as effective in releasing growth hormones as squatting, with less risk. I've recently been hitting the 45 degree leg press hard over the last couple weeks instead of squatting, and every session i'm seeing improvements. Currently at 130kg for single leg press, gonna do normal (both legs) leg press this week.

Is that a satin black GTR with flared fenders I see?

Hey Ryan, Is car still for sale?

did a quick search and found this if it helps? http://forums.nicoclub.com/new-project-r34-t288174.html spec sheet is down a little bit

just found this in the "Rare/Exotic GTR's" or something thread though. --> R32 (Limited Edition vehicle) BNR32 S&S Limited Edition R32 (Released October 2000)

hey, found this car while browsing tradecarview.com, and was wondering if anyone had any information on this said "S&S Limited Version" R32 GTR? It has a book and everything so i thought it must be important? http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/skyline+gt-r/7866163/

dude it says rays engineering on the back in the pics he took

Aren't the wheels in those pics all 19inch? Fairly sure the first pic are 20inch lmgt4 because there is a famous black r34 here in Canberra with the licence plates "NUR" with 20 inch polished lmgt4's that look like the exact same fitment. Either way, on a white car you can't go past black wheels.

Cross Factory fenders add +30mm http://www.rhdjapan.com/cross-factory-rear-wide-fenders-r33-skyline-2-door-56450

So I take it this is supposed to be a series like D1GP in Japan (hopefully grow in size over the years) yeah?

going for sure, heading up in a convoy of a couple cars (r34, s15, 180, r32 x 2 possibly?) NIGHT DRIFTING

I may be wrong, but aren't those east bear LED tail lights? The Nismo lights use stock lenses (yellow centers)

hey man, sorry to be a pest, but I was wondering if you could tell me what momo steering wheel that is? thanks
