Possibly. I'm not as fussed about my physique as I used to be; guess I'm kinda over it now. I've been lifting weights for long enough that I feel as if I should have achieved my aesthetic goals by now. Birds said I would get a six pack once I did 10 pull-ups... Well I did that, no six pack. It's disappointing and I don't want the frustration to get in the way of my enjoyment of gym; hence why I guess I've turned to the strength aspect rather than looks. I looked much more defined a year ago than I do today, but I am stronger today...

Stop twisting my words female

I said when you were capable of doing 10 pullups...and I mean proper full range of motion pullups...that you would have enough abdominal muscle for a six pack. That doesn't mean you don't have to do the cutting to make it visible.

You are your own harshest critic and also throwing out a lot of ignorance here. I think that if people saw your physique and read what you wrote here they would think you're being a tad unrealistic. Some facts: you're eating literally twice as much as when you say you were more "defined". You're significantly stronger having increased weights by about 50-60%; you have more muscle now, despite training for less than 1/3 the amount of time/sessions that you used to. You've been plagued by injuries over the last couple years that we've had to rehab around. I think you need to add some perspective here before looking to your goals and saying "I give up" or "that didn't work" when you've actually only done half the work to get there.

If you go to the Arnold Classic on the weekend a girl i know will be competing and on a booth answering questions. Her name is Melissa Darmawan i believe she is on the Superior Supplements booth. Have a chat to her, very friendly and informative. You can't miss her she is the giant asian

Another woman you could email/Facebook is Renee Armstrong (i believe that is how its spelt) she either did or does compete on stage and focuses on strength and power lifting. Her fiance owns Bondi Strength.

But obviously she is in nsw

I'm not sure? It was my shoulder that was causing me pain. Basically now I have a lower back hyper extension. Can't walk up stairs properly, can't get in and out of a car without being in pain, stuff like that.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
