All too much pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo in this thread. Find something you enjoy that keeps you active and do it as much as you can. Eat healthy and enjoy the occasional sin. I once had eight months training so hard I forgot about alcohol and was too knackered to think about sex, and all I got was a national open silver medal in cycling. Wasn't worth it I tell yas. Well it was but it wasn't. National coach Charlie Walsh didn't want someone my age (26) on the national touring squad so i had to pay my own way to race OS. Blew it off and did Eng degree instead.

Been so up and down the weight ladder. Grunt Sniper carrying 65kg combat load for up to 9 months a year in the scrub I ate everything in sight and smashed weights until I was 110kg of pure Rugby prop love muscle able to run 5km in 19min. Then cycling I got down to 83kg of lean mean peddlin' machine able to sprint to over 80kmh and run 5km in 16min. Yesterday I almost walked 2km without stopping but needed a break from the pain for a couple of minutes. Took me 45 min and felt like I'd never get home. Stay healthy and well for the right reasons, so you can enjoy stuff or achieve real goals. Live you life training so you can train harder and you may just miss out on good bits.

Healthy drinking would be for every beer have a nice single malt scotch like the Glenmorangie with a glass of water as well. Damn you can put a lot away like that without pain in the morning. I sometimes add a glass of red wine too but just for the meal.

From what I hear of Pete's drinking pace he needs a camelback for the water supply...... and maybe one for the scotch too.

Wow.. go Fatz.. awsome how youre sticking too it!

im failing slowly... putting weight on again

started eating more even after work... stopped goin for runs for 2 weeeks now. Its been too cold and that was my excuse. WEIGHT has NO EXCUSES! gonna start it up again.

doing well fatz. keep it up.

it was brought up that doing cardio after a weight training session would send the body into anabolic shock. this is and isn’t true if you have take in correct pre work out nutrition you will have adequate energy store to complete 15-20 mins of cardio training after weights.

my sister eats junk when she finds shes not losing weight as much as she was. apparently it gives your metabolism a buzz or something and gets it working a bit faster, im not sure of the details... im a crappy listener.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
