So today is D day, the end date I gave myself to transform my body. Since August this year I gradually started cutting out excess/junk food; from October onwards I became more diligent with cutting ou

I haven't been to the gym, I can hardly drive let alone lift weights. I am resting, I didn't even go to yoga tonight. This isn't going to go away with rest.

Tried some foam rolling at home but now I'm in really bad pain when I move :( When I was foam rolling it really hurt on my shoulder blade and now it's just a constant tingling sensation on my shoulder blade with random shooting paim.. Good or bad?

It is going to go away with treatment & rest. Thats how you repair injuries.

Ice packs. Often as you can.

You can't foam roll and things till the inflamation is settled. As you discovered it just makes it worse sometimes.

You will get better.

I had another trigger point and massage session yesterday; went well. More physio booked for this week and ultrasound booked for next week. Doctor upped my anti inflammatory tablet dosage which I think has helped too.

I'll be back one day, just don't know when!

Thanks Rev :)

I have an anxiety disorder and exercise has always helped keep it under control. The last few weeks have been very difficult mentally but I've broken through mental barriers that I haven't been able to do for years, so I'm proud of myself in some ways at the moment. I'm getting my mental strength back :) physical will come next

Great work ! You should be very proud.

You must sometimes try to break things off that start to control you. You are proving that you don't need excersise to be who you are.

I am showing myself that nothing bad happens to me when I don't exercise, because that is what goes through my head. I'm now learning that my new exercise routine is going to be different and that's okay. I have an issue where things have to be 100% correct or I can't / don't want to do them. This is why I got so upset when I couldn't bench the bar without being in pain the other day. It's also why I'm not confident in deadlifts despite having coaching at PTC. Mentally, the last few weeks have been very difficult for me; some of my family and friends don't understand and think I'm being silly and dramatic. I'm really lucky Birds has been very understanding and supportive during this time.

I think I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel :)

good to hear Leesh,

hopefully your injury gets sorted sooner rather then later and even more importantly that you start gaining more control over yourself mentally. I've never suffered from anxiety but I did have a bad case of depression a few years ago, so I truly hope you continue down the positive and strong road.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I think the consensus was that's normal. Sloped road surfaces or something? I remember @silviaz went through this before. It might be one of those things you never notice until you pay attention to it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in

      R33 general questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
