ProRawFour will be held on Saturday November 10 at the Frankston Art Centre. I have $5000 cash and $2000 in prizes for the lifters so far. We have around 40 signed up already. As well as the Trophies, Protein and Cash that I am giving away, the winner in each of the 5 divisions will get a giant novelty cheque to keep. Come and watch if your free, its a pretty special show, a little bit Rock'nRoll. I own ProRaw so I am not bound by any Federation rules, I am a law unto myself

Markos I'm still thinking about entering, what are the requirements and when do enteries close?

I'm sure I can get 520kg or so... I don't have enough pride to worry about coming last lol

Will you be using the texas bar for deadlifts? I still haven't maxed that sucker!

Soft suit is a one piece tightish outfit.

kind of like what wrestlers wear or triathletes.

they don't have any carry over to helping you lift.

it's just to help the judges make a decision (makes it easy to see if you are squatting low enough or if your hips are locked out for deadlift) and it also makes for a uniform look to the sport.

The knee braces are called "knee wraps". it is a 2 - 2.5 meter, stretchy material this is wrapped around the knees.

Depending on how tight you can handle them on there, has a fairly large carry over to squats (which is the only time they are allowed to be used)

By Back brace I assume you mean a Belt. Yes it is allowed in RAW competition (as are the knee wraps) but neither is mandatory.

if you learn to use them, they both have a carry over and allow you to lift more weight.

Wrist wraps are allowed during Bench and Squats.

My lifters mainly use my Progressive Poundage Program (PPP) that I sell online for $20

Nick on here has just purchased it and is making good progress. I have it up on the walls in the gym

Its been around for about 3 years now. There are actually a few others on here who got it years ago

CS Student, Gareth, used it with great success. At only 84kg or so he squatted 210kg, benched 130kg and deadlifted 230kg from memory

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
