Vans Authentics...catch of the day always have them for $50 delivered.

Unrelated, they are one of the most surprisingly comfortable shoes to wear casually, despite an appearance like it would have zero support etc.

I've already got a pair coming lol. Yeah well they're really just to cover my feet, if I could I'd squat and DL in bare feet. Feels really f**king wrong in trainers now. Got a few other guys squatting in their socks too now.

Dan - boong = abo.

Boong car = a car that looks like it's owned by abos.

Leesh - what's wrong with your abs?

I have no idea it's like they are bruised? Can't laugh/sneeze and doing number 2's is nearly impossible proli need to go to doctor

I dunno man - the only time I'm putting a heavy barbell on my back or picking one up off the floor is at the gym...

I play bball and the explosive strength from squats comes in handy for rebounds etc. Not that you can't build it otherwise and transfer; I just find the movement transfers easier if I'm training with runners that I wear when playing - I guess in the same way that you find it difficult to squat in runners, now that you've trained the mobility of the exercise into not using them.

got told off for squatting in socks today - put my shoes back on and did 4 reps before chucking the bar back in the hooks - f**k that. Hopefully my Chuck Taylor's turn up soon.

Told off by who and why?

yeah well I suppose in the context of you playing a sport it makes sense Birds.

alr33x: gym staff member noticed it. Surprising to only get told off now given that I've been doing it for quite a while, starting to get over this particular gym though - they're making it pretty obvious that they don't want serious lifters there apart from bodybuilding pretty boys.

Yeah fair enough most gyms say about wearing shoes but never seen anyone gettin picked up on it even some of the trainers take their shoes off

We get told off for having shoes off, using chalk and making noise at one of the gyms I go to

I've been told off for wearing socks a couple of times when I was going to Anytime Fitness, but given I'm friends with that location's owner, it's only because they HAVE to tell me off haha. I think it's for their insurance, gotta have closed toe shoes.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
