As we all own or have an interest in Japanese vehicles, and as many of us are hooked on Anime or Jap music, (girls, perhaps :D), I feel it appropriate to propose the following...

Come one, come all, to a GENUINE Japanese Dining Experience at

logovx0.jpg

Bowen Street (off Turbot, between Wharf & Boundary streets)

ltmapvc7.jpg

Saturday 7th June, starting 7pm.

- Please be aware that Little Tokyo only accepts Credit Card or Cash, there are no eftpos facilities available.

You will notice from the menu that it is not as cheap as other venues we usually go for social dinners, hence the reason for making it nearly a month from now! Plenty of notice to make sure you have funds for this spectacular dinner! Believe me, the extra money you spend is very warranted!

Anyway, let's get down to business!

Still run by its founder Michiko O'Brien, Little Tokyo was the first Japanese restaurant in Queensland, established in 1966 and moving to its current purpose-built premises in 1977.

Designed by a Brisbane architect, the restaurant, with its beautiful natural wooden interior, has been classed by many Japanese as more authentic than some in Japan.

They offer a Sukiyaki or Tepanyaki House. In this instance, I will be making a booking for the SUKIYAKI House.

It offers an authentic traditional Japanese dining experience. In this "shoes off" dining area, sit comfortably on a Tatami mat on the floor (with your legs either folded underneath you, or, more comfortably, cleverly hidden below the table) and enjoy Sukiyaki, Teriyaki and Shabu Shabu cooked at the table.

Little Tokyo is the only restaurant in Queensland to offer Ishiyaki (burning stone cooking). A river stone is heated for several hours and used to cook thin slices of Beef and Seafood. This gives a highly individual and mouth-watering flavour, quite different to a barbeque or charcoal taste. Sushi also forms part of the extensive menu at Little Tokyo.

Hey I am interested in coming along, but I have to check if the mrs has that night off. Should know shortly!

No worries, i'll put down as a maybe :woot:

Once again, this is not a club event, in fact there are a few people coming who don't even own skylines, just some random friends.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
