You idiots :D

Anyhow, went to the Conservatory @ Crown.... lots of seafood... $65 a head i think... or there abouts.

Prawns, oysters, lots of styles of fish both hot and cold... crab...

lots of other stuff too, top night. Buffet too... so all you can eat Prawns :P

I was gonna mention the Conservatory @ Crown but it's not specifically Seafood, it's more asian/seafod.

That's my fave restaurant in Melb!!

I ate 43 oysters my first visit, then returned months later with the same ppl ho egged me on o better my record.

I reached a PB of 50 osters + smoked salmon, prawns a plenty + asian roats, fish, etc.

The desert buffet is bigger than most main menu buffets & they have a choclate fountain!

Botom line... Oysters in mass consumptio are DEFINATELY no an aphrodisiac... they just make you feel sick! Just worth it to see the waiters faces.

The service there is fantastic too.

For $90 on Thurs last week I went after Crays (but the buggers were too deep in their holes) and also got a full bag of 100 scallops. Then the fun bit was shucking them out.

Mmmmm Yummy. Cheaper than restaurant, guaranteed fresh and i get to not drive too :P

Sails on the Bay in elwood on the foreshore was pretty damn good from memory.

Yes...Sail's on the Bay....its great. Stacey took me there on my birthday....could do a lot worse....and resonably priced too.

Well thats the thing.

For around $20-$30 a head i could put on Abalone, Prawns... if i had the time to do divers, i'd be able to put on Cray's....

I'll pay $$$ for a flashy place... but time permitting its cheaper, nicer @ home if you ask me.

conservatory is pretty good, but if i was after a great seafood dinner at crown, at $65 a head plus drinks, i would head straight to Koko.

classiest japanese restaurant in town

thats our favourite place to go broke ;D (thank god its in the ent book so we get a discount)

mmm teppanyaki!! I think the set menus for teppanyaki start at $65 but they do have a standard menu as well. They also have private teppanyaki rooms.. if only we were that rich..

There's also a Margo's seafood restaurant in Crown but I don't think it's A grade or anything.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
