yeah the aussie kirin is very creamy. you are right, it is reminisent of a crownie. the japanese stuff is a bit nicer. but I still think asahi and malts are way better.

I tried Kirin Ichiban last night at a fancy restuarant.

The waiter gave me it then said "number wan!"

It made me smile considering that its not such a common beer.

It wasnt as good as what you guys said it would be - tasted kinda like a crownie.

Bet ya it was made here :)

Thats why its not as good

Fuji Mart in South Yarra import real Asahi Super Dry. They also have a couple of types of real Kirin, in the 500ml can.

They are in behind KFC on Chapel St. Its a total japanese supermarket, just like walking into Every or Fresta, or even Family Mart or Lawson.

Pity they dont bring in Asahi (Shin nama) 3. its may favourite hops beer for under 700yen a 6pack.

Im in Japan at the moment on holidays, in Hokkaido.

Went to the sapporo beer factory and museum two days ago, was pretty good. Afterwards had a tasting, 3 beers for 400 yen.

Having now tried all the beers available out of the street vending machines, I think Sapporo Draft is the best. easy drinking, not too out there and really impressive.

I love Japanese beers, with Asahi being my favourite, and Kirin and Sapporo being a tied second. I had sapporo for the first time the other day in a can and I really liked it! I'm usually not a can person, but even with 650ml it stayed cold right until the end, was great. You can buy it at The Vineyard in Acland st, was about 10-10.50 a can I think, which wasn't bad considering Coronas were $7.50 or $8

i'm telling you. kirin brau meister, or suntory the premium malts, or ebisu is the thinking japanese mans beer! lol. the sapporo we get here is quite good, but if you want to try the japanese stuff hunt some out in a bottle. it's available now at more places, and is made in japan.

repeat after me:

"Kirin brau meister oishii desu ne"

I've had the sapporo in a bottle, they serve it at Kanpai on Chapel st. It's delicious!

Ash: Yeah mate, something like that :laugh: Just popped down for a few brewskies with some mates, always good on a warm night, especially when drinking sapporo's that stay cold right until the end :action-smiley-069:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
