Who Works In The City And Whats Some Nice Places To Eat Out At?


Recommended Posts

I know of pitt st mall, hunter connection and met center all located close to wynard but is there any other places anyone suggests?

Steer clear of the pizza/pasta place in the met center as i found hair in the pasta....

I'm in the city too... I usually go to a few favourites around the city throughout the working week. Food ranges from Junk to Cuisine; money ranges accordingly :P

How much do you want to spend? I know heaps of places to eat in the city.

Lunch or dinner?

Lunch, I forgot you worked in the city... BoB, what area in the city do you work in?

For lunch:

- Small arcade with asian food shops and good food @ 303 Pitt St

- Under GPO there's some decent pasta places, one they do a ~$12 pasta and wine

- The Sea King seafood takeaway under Mid City Centre, freshly cooked to order

- Bowlers Club in York, Chinese

Genghis Kahn - Was on Kent Street but they moved to King St wharf - its around $16 for all you can eat, you choose what you want then they cook it in front of you. Very good food.

I spent a LOT of hours there during school with mates

I went to St Andrews

Pretty good school, and close to everything, bars, darling harbor, everything - we all bludged sooo much

Seniors could go whereever they wanted to, as long as they got back by the next class. So i would go for a drive and skip the rest of the afternoon...

Where did you go?

Ah... St Andrews boy.... :D I was up the road at Sydney Grammar ~ I still remember sneaking out at lunch for fags close to your school, your head master cracked the shits when he saw us ;)

Yeah he'll do that!

Back when genghis kahn was on kent st it was between 2 of the school buildings, if it didnt have frosted glass on the windows we would have been stuffed.

He cracked the shits quite hard when the pub near the smokers lane left their delivery door open and stock exposed.

And when we held a water fight on Kent street, not limited to st andrews people.......

But they never caught me drinking "Sprodka" - a drink i made by keeping a bottle of vodka in my locker and adding it to nice cold bottles of Sprite just before class. English classes were never so much fun

If only i had the brains to patent the idea (damn Smirnoff Black Ice)

How was sydney grammar satanic...

I went to Central Coast Grammar ;)

I miss school, when i finished year 12 last year i had under a month break and then went straight into full time work and soon after moved to damn lidcombe :)

Man if you didn't attend Grammar then you didn't really get the schooling experience you deserved...

Nothing beats going to school which is the size of a small carpark, having nothing more than a library and being situtated next to brothels, druggies and most of all Oxford Street :laugh:

Yes I had a screwed up childhood :P

Depends what you like.... I usually eat asian food so.....

Jap BBQ @ Nagoya in chinatown

Hotpot @ Shencheng on sussex (it's in an arcade)

Yumcha (lunch) @ Golden Century, Chinatown

OR, Yumcha (lunch) or good dinner (Peking Duck etc) @ Regal in Chinatown too

Theres others but I cant remember right now... plenty of places around!

MMM yum cha.

How about we organise an SAU yum cha. Sky Phoenix is run by the same people as Golden Century but less attitude. We could get one of the private rooms and cut sick!

Yum cha is best started early like 12 or 12:15 and allow an hour and a half to stuff yourself.

Who's up for it? Shall I start a specific thread in events?

Tell your bosses you are networking for their benefit. All we have to do is tell each other what we do for a job and we're not lying. :mad:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
