never really seen any decent yakitori bar in sydney. makoto in chatswood do chick yakitor which is nice, but only 1 type.

has anyone tried the new yakiniku/teppanyaki place in chatswood mall yet? it certainly looks good. It's called Japanese Dining Room or something like that.

Ahhh I'm up for trying that! :P

Okay update

Tried the new Jap yakiniku place in Chatswood called Iwa

It's not bad but it is pretty expensive (a plate of beef has maybe 8 bite size pieces and costs upwards of $17). Atmosphere is good and they have nice decor. Service wasn't bad either and unlike most DIY BBQ places you don't come out smelling like cooked meat.

hey mark, Cars was off the road for 2 months so hasnt been out and about. I've been at Richmond for almost 6 months, moving back to Baulkham Hills with another SAU'er cos Im sick of driving from Richmond to st leonards all the time though :miner:

as for my trip to kyushu tonight, ate Teriyaki beef, oishikatta desu. (think thats right.. lol)

Bummer about the car, good for you that you're moving. I drive Blaxland -> Richmond each day so I understand where you're coming from. The windy parts down the mountain are brilliant fun but the 18L/100km RB26 sent me out for a 6.5L/100km 4A-FE! :laugh:

Do you know of any Western Sydney/Blue Mountains restaurants that you'd go back to please?

I dont even get any fun twisties on the way to and from work :miner: lol

As for Japnese restraunts, I dont know any out that way sorry. There is a japanese restraunt at norwest business park just near coles. but havent been there myself.

Gomen nansa!!

Hey Richard would you say resutoran Kyushu wa Grosvenor dori desu?

hai, jozu. but I would say "grosvenor street" instead of dori as I thnk dori is more like avenue and in this case gosvenor street is the name. also probably use arimasu or arimasu yo instead of desu.

I think you could say:

grosvenor street wa kyushu resutoran arimasu. (on grosvenor street kyushu resaurant is there)

(but don't ask me, I can't speak japanese for shit!) lol.

When replying to questions you almost never repeat the subject, so you can leave the Kyushu resutoran bit off. When using aru the the place the subject is in/at uses ni. Street and dori is a bit of a mute point, as streets here often aren't named and when giving directions no-one ever uses street names, so dori/street would be fine.

Therefore

Grosvenor street/dori ni arimasu.

Would work just fine (me thinks)

watashimo Nihongo ga yoku desu ne:

Change the yoku bit to jouzu and you will have My Japanese is good, too. (Is that what you wanted to write?)

holy cow. 257 challengers, just 13 winners.... hmmm it had better be some tasty ramen if you have to eat that much of it. it's certainly been a good earner for them. $12,200 taken in. and only $650 in free vouchers and 13 free ramens given out.

Thanks Richard for your reply and thanks Stephen for your pointers! :) Hey what is arimasu?

And yep, that's what I wanted to write... whilst I can manage a few spoken sentences, my romanji is lousy. Not that that's a bad thing! :P At the moment I'm an illiterate Japanese student, lol

I thought it'd be most polite to point out how good I am at Japanese ;)

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
