Would be good to see some test results on FitBodies.

You should send in a batch and pay for testing for us all SRS :D

EDIT: Anyone got any hot tips for dealing with a light hammy strain that won't seem to go away?

I like BN cause I've seen their lab results...the shit is legit as far as I can tell. For $20-30 I won't bother with cheaper stuff.

This. At the end of the day, I'm having it to supplement my protein intake, not for a tasty milkshake (though it helps if it is palatable). Not many getting around with actual verified lab results.

Can you just stay on one diet for more than a month lol

Not when my commitments change more than a female changes her mind lol

I'm struggling to stick to anything coz I dead set do not have the time (I'm willing to use) for organising my food properly. I HAVE the time available, but it's my only free time which I'd much rather put towards something enjoyable to keep me sane. Requires sacrificing things I'd rather not have to, so this is much easier. MUCH easier.

Can you send me a link where an independant company sent off samples of different powders to be tested by an independant lab please.

There was one done many years ago, I don't have access to it anymore. Someone purchased samples from a shop and had them tested, was very interesting.

I love this shit, not because I care about supplements, but because I love the spin etc

Granted it's from a company that sells supplements, but they do have scans of their own tests on their products on their website as well. And to do another study that bags out the other local producers (well some of them) to me says that they have a lot of confidence in their own product.

Wish I had the scans of the Optimum Nutrition products that someone had done on Bodybuilding.com that showed Gold Standard had a higher protein content than the super expensive Hydrowhey lol.

I'm also interested in the spin behind supplement products Markos, as it is quite incredible.

I like the fact BN have previously said anyone is welcome to show up at their mixing "factory" (or whatever you'd call it) unannounced, and be taken on a quick tour of the place to see EXACTLY what goes into each product. Goes to show they don't bother with fillers like skim milk powder as some of the other companies may be doing haha

Their bluffs are good enough for me...if they were telling fibs it would only take someone who can be bothered paying for testing to shitcan their whole reputation. The fact we haven't heard anything along those lines from their competitors yet suggests to me that BN don't have much to fear, rather their competitors do.

These supplement companies have the easiest marketing job in the world IMO. Prey on the ignorant and the lazy who want the next best edge in the gym but can't be bothered doing an extra set or eating more food. Aside from a flooded market, they just have to come up with a new sounding process or fad ingredients and they'll get a slice of the pie.

If you want to spot the easy fakes, look at the companies that release a new product every month, because chances are they ride the wave of fads rather than focusing their efforts on maintaining and promoting just a few been-around-forever product lines. Just my logic!

I'd seen a report years ago from a lab, no connection to anyone, not one powder tested remotely close to the label, not one.

It was highlighting how the industry needed regulation.

Things may have changed, its unfair to group all supplement companies together.

You can see whats going in, but surely the big factor is are the label claims accurate?

I have no doubt some are better than others, good luck working out which one

Oh, and take claims from companies directly with a grain of salt

What are they going to say, its pretty good, not far off the label claims, tastes crap in water, better in milk

I like the pseudo scientific 'stats' and "university studied" claims on some (despite the fact that only one component may have been studied for another reason 20 years ago), as well as the endorsement from guys who are obviously not natural.

Might be biased coming from a company, but at least they gave us something closer to lab tests, which is a bit more than other companies have done. Who wants to chip in for testing BN? What would that cost?

This is why I like steak, it's hard to lie about the protein content! Just eat and assume it "fit your macros".

Not unlike these workout tips from Dwayne Johson, who I'm sure knows what he's doing, but forgets to mention the poking of the skin with sharp objects as a PWO ritual

I'll chip in like $10 for the testing, anyone else?

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
