Interesting thing about Joey, big talker, trained at PTC for 3-4 sessions, a few of his mates lifter here, bought a crowd to watch him. A year after his first comp he comes back to see how much he's improved. Nothing, zero. Trains at FF South Yarra.

I pointed out to him Alex beat him by 170kg and Jason is lighter yet still beat him by 95kg, both boys have been here about 7-8 weeks.

Now wants us to do a program for him...........its not the program girlfriend.

Thing is at FF he is "strong", he didnt like it here, guys in his class total 250kg more than him, pretty embarrassing, IF you have an ego.

The guy is straight on FB this morning telling all his clueless friends how well he did.

Guys like this dont train at PTC nor do they ever improve.

Thats interesting he has noviced before and attended PTC at least, makes it worse so to speak. the first thing I thought was 'his total is a fairly low' then compared it to Jasons as i read down the list.

250kg+ inspires me and sets my goal posts.

Guys like Joey are everywhere, and in the most part I dont have any issues with them, but he "tried" to make the crossover but his ego didnt allow it, no problem, just dont act like your Ed Coan on FB or to your mates at my gym. I had to shut one of them down unfortunately, ugly, but it had to be done.

I was very impressed by all the other 10 lifters, very sound lifting techniques, a good time was had by all.

I didnt know 6 of the lifters, they told me they all hit PB's in each lift, very encouraging.

Next Novice comp is October.

I have the BIG BENCH in August, a bench press only event, very popular, go figure lol

Does that mean no to the Doncaster ptc too?

No point, Carrum Downs is 25 minutes from there. Once we moved to the new place we canned Doncaster.

I have picked up a few clients from Definition 352

I have clients that live in Fitzroy that train here 5 x week, school kids that catch 2 buses from Mt Martha, around an hour, but thats why Conor squats 240kg @ 17yo

It would be great to have 50 PTC Gyms, but I reckon we would struggle to find 50 good coaches

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
