BW: 81kg

BP: 80kg x 15 reps

Was a bit disappointed with this, as I really thought I could push out 20 reps. Would like to give it another go on a better day. All I can say is, for someone who doesn't regularly bench...you're a freak, rev! You'll have to trust me that it was touching the chest, as the filming angle hides the bar and makes it look a bit high (thanks Leigh!). Also, I do not have a hard on :/

lol I'd love to blame my shoulder injuries for weakness too, but competitions don't wait for injuries to heal! We both put up our best for now and that's all that matters. Now to improve!

Your muscles will catch up again in no time :)

Eh? I wasn't blaming my injury weakness. Was saying my muscles aren't developed because I haven't worked them because of time off due to injury. Have no weakness in the shoulder now.

That's what I was saying too...

Ok, I must have misread 'I'd love to blame my shoulder injuries for weakness too' as being in relation to me

It was in relation to you. My shoulder injuries have cost me valuable time at the gym, I haven't been able to do press movements to keep up my regular weights and consequently I'm a little down on what I can normally do. Was just saying that competitions don't wait for injuries to heal so it's a bit of bad luck for both of us.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
