My advantage of being a diabetic is that I can actually figure out how many grams of carbs I'm ingesting. For eg. my body utilises 1 unit of insulin = 7.5g of carbs. When I have 1 full cup of oats with water I use 4 units of insulin to bring my blood glucose levels bang in the middle optimum range. When I ate a large pizza, I had to use 12 units of insulin which = 90g of carbs (basically the bread). Now 4 slices of burgen bread = 4 units (30g carbs) which equates to 1 cup of oats. Who needs to calorie count when I can calculate it dead on based on my body :)

As a laugh, I had a tiny slice of cheese cake and needed 6 units of insulin (45g). Crazy empty calories from that, not to mention the fats lol

As for fats, I loaded up on peanut butter & brazil nuts and minimised cheese, and red meats (was eating it 4 times a day at one stage) since my LDL cholesterol was at 3.8mmol/L and HDL at 2.7 mmol/L.

Leesh, anyone that wants.

Powerlifting men dont do them, unless Max is punishing one, the girls love them, but only Nina from the competing girls does them

Remember most of my clients just train to get strong and fit

A fireman that trains here goes very well on them.

Farkin firemen...some of those guys are seriously fit.

At my dad's old gym (Markos, you may or may not remember Findlays in Hawthorn/Camberwell), that I used to muck around at when I was a kid, there were some properly strong guys there. One was a fireman who did nothing but squat, all day everyday. He was about 6'5 and a judo champion of some sort. In short, you couldn't have paid me to pick a fight with him. Had a fantastic figure!

Kind of miss that gym...it had 30 year old homemade ball dumbells and old school machines with chains. Only two treadmills and no one used them lol

Findlays was THE gym back in the day. Most aspired to go train there.

My fireman, lets call him David, squats 180, benches 140 and deadlifts 220, around 96kg, very fit. Technique on the lifts is gym quality, bum up on bench etc

He has nearly completed DEATH WISH II

Thrusters - 20kg x 15

Cannonballs - 32kg x 15

UDL- 64kg x 15

C&P - 16kg x 15

Swings - 24kg x 15

2 circuits non stop, thats 150 reps

I encourage everyone to do one. The most common excuse is "I'm going to wait till I get stronger"

Heres a clue, no ones going to stop getting stronger to wait for you lol. History has shown me the guys that get in earliest progress much quicker. Thats how Liam, my 15yo now, deadlifted 200kg at 14 as well as squatting 170kg, at 82kg.

Conor is the same, started at 14, did a novice comp very early, now at 17 and 88kg, squats 240, benches 125 and deadlifts 245

Its not a spectator sport, no one got stronger watching

Since doing a Novice comp in 2011, this is how Conors progress has gone

3/12 - Vic States - [email protected] class

6/12 - Nationals - [email protected] class

9/12 - Worlds - [email protected] class

3/13 - Vic States - 570kg@90kg class

6/13 - Nationals - 605kg@90kg class

He squatted 130kg at his first comp, and 2 years later squatted 240kg, by the time he was 17

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
