VOTE 1 - The Premium Malts, by Suntory. Its my Ihiban.

Kirin IchiBan and Asahi Super Dry sold in Aus are not from Japan. They are either brewed in Aus or Malaysia and taste different to the actual Japanese brew (I dont think Ihiban has been sold in Japan for many years) :spank:

yeah Kirin is brewed here at Lidcombe in Sydney (lion nathan), and the Asahi is brewed in Thailand and imported here ;) The Sapporo we get is made in Canada of all places...

Well the beer itself is actually japanese but its brewed and bottled in Thailand, distributed by a company in Melbourne but remains under licence from japan much like what Fosters did when they offloaded its garbage to the UKaround 10 years ago. This is why its does taste different to local Japanese beer.

Just remember to check the label if you want to be getting Japanese beer. If you get Kirin or Asahi in Sydney chances are they're not brewed in Japan. One is made by Carlton the other is in Canada or Thailand or something and no it doesn't taste the same as the stuff in Japan.

Sapporo in the bottle is also not brewed in Japan.

If you have the money (and I mean stupid bling) get the Sapporo silver can. It's like $8/each. I get one or two occasionally when I feel sentimental and rich. That's my favourite anyhoo...

lol, thanks for being only the fourth person to point that out! :)

not quite right though. The kirin is brewed by lion nathan, not carlton and the asahi in thailand. the sapporo in a bottle generally is the japanese stuff, imported here (at least the stuff I have bought was). so is the yebisu. Sapporo in the sivler can on the other hand is from canada. I've never seen those cans in japan...

Didn't realise it had been mentioned - sorry!

About the silver cans I can't say I've seen them in Japan either and you're right they're Canadian. They were at one point 'bottled' in Japan tho (perhaps only in Japanese restaurants because now that I think about it that's where I've had the J-ones ...)

Kirin, Asahi and Sapporo are my 3 most favourite japanese beers, in that order.

My ex-girlfriend was japanese and she use to be a promo girl for Kirin beer back when she was 19 or 20.

Damn she was fine! :laugh:

i think Japanese beer is great and im a fan of Malts ( the premium really is just that ) and as a bonus i live 10 minutes away from the factory near Fuchu station and you know what that means..

you get 15 minutes at the end of the tour to drink up the sweeeet nectar. They should never have let an aussie loose in there. i make them pay for it EVERY time

still...i am REALLY hanging out for a boags premium. Thats by far THE best aussie beer and ill be damned if i can find it here.. closest i got was cascade..but well its just not the same!

Its like Heiniken... The stuff thats made here is absolute cats piss compared to the Heiniken from Holland.

The 5ltr pressure kegs of heiniken that around around at the moment (in melb at least they are, around $37.50 a keg) .. are totally different.

You put a glass of the Holland Heini, and the Aust Heini... and you nearly chuck after a mouthful of the latter.

Similar to the Japanese beers, and all the others no doubt.

Its just not the same...

What i wouldnt give for a true Japan imported beer.

yeah, that's pretty true. there are a few places in sydney that I can get the real japanese stuff. most ebisu and sapporo (the bottled stuff, not the canadian cans). asahi and kirin is a little harder to find. as kirin is now brewed in sydney, and asahi imported from thailand. and I've never seen malts or malts premium here at all, but I live on the stuff in japan. and chu-hi lime. or chu-hi lemon. the kirin can chu-hi is very good to get smashed on. and refreshing too.

Yeah Asahi and Sapporo FTW.

I recently had some Asahi brought back from Japan by a friend, and the difference is chalk and cheese between the Thai brewed and jap brewed stuff.

The JDM Asahi is alot more creamy than the thai stuff..... don't get me wrong the Thai stuff we get here in Oz is great, but the true JDM Asahi is alot better!!

I've tried to get friends to bring/send some over (as JDM have 2-3lt cans of Asahi!!), and it's really hard.... :huh: Something to do with terror laws and importing liquids.

Slightly off topic, it's kinda like Cadburys chocky from England. When ever my relo's go to the UK, they always bring back heaps of cadbury milk chocky. Something to do with the English chocky not having a additive that Aussie stuff has to stop it from melting to much in milk bars. Don't know if thats BS, but you can taste the difference between UK chocky and Oz Chocky. :)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
