haha all good mate :P I ordered like 3:30 this arvo before I left work anyway, gotta get it done now before I run dry on WPI.

Thank god mate.. otherwise you would have just melted away or have to resort to eating chicken, beef, eggs and weird shit like that.. :D

Shut up :P I know it's just a supplement, but I hate having an eating routine thrown out of rhythm when something isn't available. Lately I've barely been making use of protein shakes and have been relying almost entirely on chicken breast mince (and now Kangaroo mince due to not being able to get chicken) for the bulk of my protein intake.

I just like to make things simple and easier to manage - WPI makes it so much easier.

HAHA!

I love how there are recommendations on servings on a lot of products. Take a scoop morning, lunch, tea......no, just eat.

someone should have told me about the 'stop 1 from your max reps' rule before, the other week i was doing bench and then I got to 7/10 and at the top of 7, i thought "hold on i'm tired maybe ill let it down slowly to rest and then i can push back up" = ended up with holding the bar above my chest, only able to push it up halfway and not high enough to set back on the racks...guy from the next rack came to help me.

hahaha, and you've just encountered pretty much the only use for a spotter ;)

well i was actually benching my lowest weight, but this was at the end of my workout so I kind of did AND didn't take that into account.

Bench doesn't quite work like squats haha. Once you're out of energy, you're finished.

I know that now.......hah....

tonight at the gym i had a bit of a funny moment.

had to do squats, but the squat rack wasnt free so I jumped on the smith. Anyway after the first set, I had real lower back pain. To cut a long story short, after the second and third set, no more pain.

Squats really does cure bad backs..... or maybe better form, not sure.

Just a theory that the experts can correct me on, but I would have thought the fixed bar position of the smith machine would cause all sorts of form issues because the bar should move around to suit your body's movement, not the other way around? Smith machine seems too linearly up and down...

That is correct

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
