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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
