If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Filex? was meant to go but didnt get to it in the end. Have gone previously to the conferences and the expo. I love it to be honest. Seeing some of the latest trends and equipment coming through the industry is always a bonus.

Unfortunately it does attract some meat heads, but still a fantastic event.

Over in WA we have a much smaller event known as WAFIC. Unfortunately nothing like Filex.

What did you guys think?

Good news.. I've reached 70kg!! :)

I've been using the basic workout you guys recommended earlier. Also a mate has started working out with me, so we're definitely pushing much harder.

Been going strong since Feb so it's pretty much dead on 2kg gain a month, couldn't be happier!!

Cheers for the advice dudes, now onto 75... :cheers:

WTF is Ronnie doing at a gym in derrimut lol.

My workout was painful tonight. Not because of exercise, but watching two brothers or possibly a father and son go at it. You know those pairs you get, where one guy has a little bit of muscle and he's showing his skinny friend or relative the ropes.

I refrained from telling them they're doing it (i.e. everything) wrong, cause I know how annoyng it can be when people have approach you about correcting your routine...but I did enjoy some laughs at their expense. Lat pulldowns and the younger one (skinny kid about 16/17) has the older one pushing down to help him on every rep right from the start? Drop the f**king weight if you can't lift it! Then he tried it solo and he was practically bouncing on the seat, with the bar severely biased and lacking a strict technique. Older brother or father was watching him do this and seemed to think it was legit? Next up, I'm doing squats and I see them doing one arm tricep pushdowns with the cables, with the worst range of motion and no strict action...then after a set the young skinny runt lifts his sleeve to check out his arm in the mirror...I lost my shit at that. Seemed like the kind of person who remarks "I feel bigger already" after leaving the gym on their first visit. Their gym etiquette sucked a big one too...they were taking caribeenas and grips from right next to my feet without asking if I was using them, farkin noobs.

The gym in derrimut is meant to be the biggest one going around (almost like the size of a bunnings warehouse ) and is 24 hours sporting every single piece of equipment. It even caters for MMA fighting ie. training.

Would love to see it, the website looks good. Is it privately run? if so good on em for doing something of that size! It is a bold statement though to promote yourselves as the biggest do you think?

What do you guys feel though constitutes as a gym? by catering for MMA fighting do you mean that there Is a boxing ring as part of that gym?

Basketball courts are known as "gyms" especially in the U.S. but i still hear that terminology today in day to day coversations etc. So if basketball courts are termed as gyms, then there may be some bigger "gyms" out there than derrimut

Derrimut gym still is impressive none the less.

My work is bigger than a bunnings, however, again, its a fine line as to what is and isnt a gym.

I'd say it's a gym, and wouldn't think there'd be many as big or even close...

IMO they went a bit overboard with the size of the supplement store and the amount they have on the shelves, but I guess they wanted everything on a big scale..

There's basically 3 sections of gym stuff so far, crossfit stuff, Olympic rings etc, a wrestling mat, boxing ring, massive cardio area, 16 or so squat racks side by side, and they don't even take up half of one of the 3 sections...

As far as I know it's privately owned... I'll try get some photos tonight to give you an idea of the size.

Upstairs is empty from what I can see from outside, so even more stuff will go up there... Classes I'm guessing

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
