My concerns re my location are. A) Weight distribution B) proximity to wheel well in the event of an accident.
-
Any issues with mounting the surge tank in this location? Hole in the spare wheel well for hoses. The surge tank plate prohibits me putting it in the wheel well without decent modification and new fittings between the pump and surge tank.

Awesome dude, glad it's working out for you. I did the same last night after a busy weekend (which resulted in a sore back and shoulder - skipped Monday). Feeling good today. High 5's all round.
-
Extreme case I think. Also too arrogant and refused to listen to people who told me ease off for a while lol
-
Very much so. 2 years from the start of the problem to being able to lift even the lightest weights again. From mid 90kgs to high 70s. In the end I just gave up doing any weights at all and was very conscientious about how I opened doors, how I help my arm when I slept, etc. It was ridiculous, but all my own fault.
-
Sounds good mate, much smarter than me When you do come back, something I've had success with is going 70-80% first session back, by that I mean volume so you can either drop weight and keep the same reps/sets, or (what I prefer) is keep the same weight but drop some reps of the final set or drop a set all together. See how you pull up from that and if you're solid then consider a 100% next session.

Good plan mate, 2 weeks off a few exercises is better than having it be basically dead like mine
-
Haha, no. I can use a drill, dig holes, polish a car etc and not feel any discomfort. Weighted chins with full extension in the elbow, no pain etc. Dirty mind...
-
I'm still here and still staying active. A few months of cold and flue (son of rajab having kids brings some germs into the house) has seen me drop a good 4-5kg, so I'm down around 84kg now. The plus side is abs look great and Kate much prefers it so it's not all negatives. As for exercising, taking it very ginger because sleep, health, and eating do not support anything magical. 90sec break for first 2 second set, 120 sec from 2nd to 3rd set. Bench 105kg 8/8/7 Squats 20reps at 48kg - I work up to 25/30reps or so then add a little weight. 3min front plank. Weighted chins at 24kg, 8/8/8 3min Back plank Weighted dips at 27.5kg 8/8/8 Usually a little toe touching stretching, sometimes a set of 10 rack pulls but I do that only if my back can support it. Sessions are 35mins tops, but at the moment that's all the time I've got and I'm doing them after all the evening ritual so sometimes 9:30 or so, not ideal but better than getting fat. Leesh congrats on your results at the comp, great stuff - DL'ing as much as I was at almost 30kg less lol

Yes, I spent the better part of 2yrs "fixing" it. I was an epic bro curler and eventually had tendinitis in the elbow badly to the point that reach to open a door was painful. My advice would be to stop and let it rest immediately and try to work out what's the cause, it should usually be obvious. Curls, chins, maybe rows. Stop that exercise and let the arm rest. From there I spent a lot of time with a physio but the main part of that was forearm, wrist, and shoulder conditioning to support the elbow better. Wrist curls, lots of hand bent back forearm and wrist stretching. I took a lot of time off gym and it basically reset my gym work to zero because I'd continued to train on the bad elbow, it took a long time to recover, a REALLY long time. When I came back, i used very light weight for curls, got an ezy bar, used cross body hammer curls etc, anything that helped remove strain from the elbow. I would say it's now 95% and I can beat on it pretty hard without drama. I've also ditched curling completely these days, the only bicep specific work I do is weighted chins which is compound anyway. So my advice is rest it NOW a week or a month is better than years of rehab work. Also, on the ankle and back front, ankle is pretty good these days, still rotates out djring light squatting and I don't think I can stop that. I have another step of phsyio above what I've done, but haven't had the time to make up the tool I need to do it. The back is not too bad for basic work, digging holes seems to upset it as does squatting too much and any form of deadlift/rack pulls. At the moment I only do a single 20rep set of low bar squats at a little under 50kg and that's plenty. I take it very gingerly and have to assess how I feel the next day, if it pulls up sore on tuesday from monday's exercise I go easier on Wednesday. That said I'm not specifically stretching for it now, only warm up stretches for general gym. I do front and bank planks also for core stability and can still easily touch my toes cold so that's good for me.

Oh and BTW Zebra, confirmed that Walbro is genuine. Problem being that the size of the body makes it a pain in the arse to get something to mount it with other than ribber p-clamps.
-
Because these are cheaper and if it's suitable then why not? Still Bosch. No point in me having a 300lph pump on a 1.8L with 460cc injectors, unless I actually need it.
-
Just thinking, should I also be considering an adjustable regulator or do I just assume the stock one is fine? I'm also on the fence about whether this Bosch pump will flow enough fuel, I realise the kpa ratings are within the limits I need (supposedly 300kpa base fuel pressure plus another 120 or so to account for boost) but the LPH just looks so low. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121337060270?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
-
What's the logic there? Pump stops pumping? OR that it pumps at low pressure and the motor runs lean? (I run a wideband and have the knock reading on the SAFC as the main reading when driving. I'd of thought that if a drop in fuel pressure was going to blow my motor up it would have happened already with the few times I've had fuel surge issues and misfired because of it. In which case I'd do the same thing as I did then, stop driving. Not disagreeing, just opening up for discussion.
-
Just getting final pricing for various bits. Take a chance on this with 2yr warranty? http://www.ebay.com....984.m1423.l2649 Or spend the extra for this? http://www.ebay.com....cc0eef00&_uhb=1

Actually I had to drop a couple of kegs at one point because I was having trouble getting into the race seat... to be fair it's a narrow seat with deep thorax support. -

When I eventually buy another GT-R, I'll think I'll keep it mainly street driven and keep the Silvia for track duties, GT-R track cars, or anything heavy really, seem to just eat money. -

It's always rough when you can't just pick something from further up the line as an upgrade and have it be enough. For me, some bigger rotors, a BM50 and some S15 calipers was a huge upgrade, all cheap and readily available. For you guys, that's more or less what you start with =\ I have no idea what a half caged semi stripped S13 weighs but I'd hazard a guess and say it's a couple hundred kegs lighter than what you guys are wrestling. -

I was just generalizing, not pointing the finger Having owned an R33 GTST and an R33 GTR V-Spec, both modified, I can definitely say that S-Chassis make a lot more sense as a dedicated track car, where as the R-Chassis are a lot nicer on as a street car. Not saying either can't do the other job, just saying that from personal experience, I think they are both slightly better suited to one than the other - you can of course spend money and it becomes a moot point -

I have nothing bad to say about them, they have been very good on my car. I'm only looking around because there are now some cheaper alternatives and I wanted to assess those. I think pads get an unfair wrap sometimes. Too many people put new pads in on stock brakes and complain that they are shit (I'm talking more about fade and power as opposed to directly pad related things like dust). Often times using bog standard fluid or old fluid, which they boil at the track and blame pads for, or for using non slotted rotors, which many pads recommend using to get the best out of. Not saying some comments aren't warranted, just that I find so many people pin all issues on the pads. -

I'm going to try the Intima's next (when the fronts are gone) and then depending on that may try the Lucas as well. Intima first as a favour to the mate with the shop wanting reviews. I'll probs also go back to slightly better fluid next time too (plus braided lines). Because I just love giving myself more work
