leigh , work on your bench tecnique if you can for the next lifts. You need to practice changing the angles on your lift so you don't hurt your shoulders. Your vid shows there is lots of stress going onto the rotator cuff. Basically, see if you can take a slightly narrower grip and lower the weight in a slight arc to just below the nipples on the chest. Keep your shoulder blades retracted in the lift. It will feel initially weird but, give it a go and see if it helps.

Good advice!

Partner did 30 @50% bw today

lol she wins if you can put up a vid

Prolly should have made it 60%, as I read that females have 60% the upper body strength of males, but it wouldn't have made much difference. Well done to her!

Yes well I think the Kara's of this world make good exceptions for a level playing field ha ha... anyone bench 182kgs at 67kgs bodyweight?

She squats 275kg and deads 225kg.....ouch.

Come on Leesh and Charlie...lol

Farking...giving up on life now.

Slightly unimpressive deadlift? Only compared to the bench and squat...

You should throw up some before and after pics of weight loss in your thread (preferably Skyline window reflection). It's quite an achievement at your age (and gives me hope for the future lol).

on your suggestion I just posted in my thread on the build section. I don't have the skyline window tho' so they lack style.

Have John (SRS13)'s attempt ready to post, but we're having a bit of tricky trouble with emails and attachments not being forwarded at the moment. Should have it sorted tomorrow hopefully. Sorry John!

Claim is useless without vid...post up Troy. 9 reps is nothing to sneeze at.

cbf recording it unless I know I'm in contention for the win :P I'm happy enough with 9 reps of bodyweight though, so I'm not entirely disappointed. Hopefully I can get it up to video-worthy level before end of month :D

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
