Done 1/10th of gosh darn all... Working over 80hrs/week has kinda seen to it I've had time for little else other than earning cash, and playing cars on the few days I've had off this year.

Lacking in motivation badly. Have been doing sprints etc when I've had time and not felt like a$$, so at least it's something but overall, pathetic!

Work will hopefully calm down in the near future I hope.

working... great for the wallet but bad for your health

not a helluva lot you can do with an 80hr working week... well not if you intend to have a social life!

you should consider getting an adjustable dumbbell set and some bands for home so you can start working on those shoulders... even just 20min before/after work, start strengthening those rotator cuffs etc

Pretty much sums up my life since early Dec.

Put onto 2 huge projects, was very well compensated but the hours were rather... unsavoury and pulling 18hrs straight on a few occasions simply isn't going to help anything health wise.

Planning to make some changes this year lifestyle wise.

Might even head down to PTC and see what can be done. I work well when I'm pushed externally, simply wont do it on my own - I are teh lazy!

All I'll say is this - Money isnt everything. You can get by with very little.

Q: Ash, do you enjoy your job? If not, are you going to do something about it?

Never forget you simply must have a healthy balance between "life" and "work"

Anyway, good luck with the year ahead. Make it a good one - for YOU.

I do enjoy it sometimes. Nothing like an absurd paycheck that I can get. Not someone that's excited to go to work everyday however.

I could indeed get buy on very little, but then I'd end up living in a shoebox out in the sticks (travel time of... ridiculous), share a place with someone, not have a GTR, not attend car events, not worry about spending anywhere/time etc. Happy with my outside of work lifestyle.

Just work at times takes over, and i freely let it.

So the next 3 months going to make a concentrated effort at not taking on the extra hours and only doing it one week a month (as that's the min requirement for oncall).

I'll get a silly amount of "hours" back in a week so will be very flexible to concentrate on eating and training and whatever else pops up just does. Sleeping isn't a problem for me, 8hrs a night no problemo!

I never got around to sorting the shoulder out... And now I'm just plain lazy at the moment and cant be fked.

Well not lazy - I've had no income for 6 months and starting up a new business trading 7 days lunch/dinner :)

I did get down to PTC last year to watch Nick, rumour is there is one opening not far from me (5mins as opposed to a 40min one way drive) - So hopefully that comes about as i need a trainer, I just can't motivate myself on my own. I'm still eating great and haven't been sick at all - just no heavy weights.

    • If you get 12v at one of the relay pins with IGN on, and 12v at another for about 3 sec when you turn the key from ACC to start, then yes you can just earth the relay trigger pin. Just have a look at the top of the relay, it should tell you which pin needs earth when the 12v signal is sent (or if it's not clear, just post the pic and we can work it out). If you always have 12v at 2 pins with IGN on, they it is earth triggered by the ECU which makes it harder to fix (you really need to check the ECU pin is earthing when it should, and if so it is a wiring issue from there to the relay.
    • Tomei make a 1.5mm restrictor, I'd just use that.
    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
