Hey guys, my girlfriend and I decided last night on a spur of the moment whim we're going to Brisbane for the long weekend. We've basically got two a bit days to kill. We know we'll probably spend one day at Dreamworld, but otherwise we're completely open.

We're staying in the city, not Surfer's Paradise, and we won't have a car. We're also looking to head out Saturday (maybe Friday) night, so what are the best clubs?

Thanks heaps guys.

jojo's is good to start the night with dinner and drinks. youve got a choice of italian, thai and whatever else foodwize they have there. then pick a random pub, the vic seems to be popular but i dont like it coz it takes too long to get a drink at the bar (unless you have boobs). the union jack is good if you like ye olde english style pub, kinda smells funny though. the sports bar in the casino is good for cheap drinks. the dockside comedy club is good too but i think you have to book a table there (eat before you go though, the food is the equivalent of paying $40 for a dominos pizza). everywhere else i've been was really blurry so not too sure :D if you're after techno crankin, pill poppin night clubs then i havent got a clue. im sure others have more of an idea as ive only been out in brisbane the last few weekends.

I would steer clear of the Vic its usually full of melters, Head to the Valley in my opinion

What sort of night life you into / type of music then we can prolly give you a good answer as to where to go

Dance music mostly, nothing too hard though. Don't mind heading to one of the more expensive clubs, we are on holiday after all.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Eagle Street Pier in Brisbane has lots of dinner options.

I recommend Il Centro for fantastic modern australian food (but at a price). Or Cha Cha Char at the same venue for a decent grill/steak bar.

I agree with Dano. Head to Fortitude Valley... Lots of great pubs and clubs there. I recommend Press Club for an awesome venue (bar) to sit back, chill out on comfy couches and consume more alcohol than you probably should.

Family nightclub is nearby in case you wanted something a little more energetic.

cha cha cha is a nice steak restuarant.. depending on your taste should pm me your taste and ill answer too it,

infact do u mind pming me.. lol ill answer to that or i could just post here just im at work ahha and yea ;)

LOL!!!!!

Bars to go to-

Glass Bar

Press Club

Lychee Lounge

Places for food-

Cha Cha Char (city)

Blue Smoke (Valley)

Lunar Lounge (valley, also a bar)

Purple Olive (valley)

Onyx (Park Road, Milton)

London Club (Tennerife, also a bar)

Alchemy (City, hope you wallet is full)

Not too sure about where to eat but i know the club scene pretty well. If you like cheaper places that are usually more packed, head to the city. The Stock Exchange (Stocky) is small n busy with house playing, decent happy hours. The Vic, across the road is decent, generally a little quiter, good happy hours. Has some house playing upstairs, kareoke downstairs, and a beer garden with live music outside. Union Jack (U. Jays) is nearby, old english pub feel, will have sport playing earler, then a Dj playing house later in the night. Stay away from the paddington hotel, just too busy and expensive. The more classier places, ironically are in the valley which generally isnt classy. :D Family is the big number there. Saturday nights there generally have big Djs, possibly internation acts, playing in the basement. Usually its some heavier techno down there. It was awarded best sound system in the southern hemisphere so you cant go wrong if you like it loud. $10 cover charge before 10pm, $20 after. Theres also house and trance playing in two more seperate areas upstairs. (its got a bar made of ice its cool) Theres numerous other clubs all across the valley. Head to the far end of it for the GPO if you like guys with spiked up hair and girls with nearly no clothes on. A plus and a minus there. If you dont mind being around gay guys for cheap drinks theres The Beat, just dont go upstairs. Theres a new big club there too called The Met, it has a House hall, drum n bass room, techno playing across the place, usually hard to get into tho. Theres more but theses are the main points across the place. Sorry for the long post but its about time all those nights and money spent could benefit someone else :D

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
