Speaking of Izakaya,

Is anyone on the board interested in going in with me on one?

I am fully keen on opening an Izakaya either in melbourne or adelaide.

Im dead serious.

No probs on the link M3..as for the iza I reckon you`d go broke off the nomi/tabi hodais..I know when I go I drink a bucketload.. Aussies at home would think all their xmas`s came at once..You`d be packed for sure...you`d do a roaring trade with the breweries

I like those words...packed, roaring trade...

i reckon an izakaya would be a winner for sure but the thing is, we can get properly wasted in an izakaya here and then pop on a train...

In oz, well,... public transport doesnt even come close so i guess the cabbies would benefit as well.

Im serious about this by the way.

all you can eat shabu-shabu in tokyo. this place is pretty expensive, but it's all you can eat for 1 or 2 hours (i forget which) and for an extran 3,000yen you can get all you can drink long necks too (it's cheaper if you go for all you can drink by the glass). they don't know what hit them when we are there and hungry. we can eat and drink a LOT. as tempting as it is to go for the cheeper yankee beef, pay up the extra and get the prime japanese beef.

sorry the plates are mostly empty! I was so hungry I forgot to snap pics whilst there was still food there. :P

you are right, I do love japan mate. ;) but I love australia too. to be honest I guess I just don't have the cojones to pack it all in and take the leap. one day. :) till then I will keep studying, and keep coming to terrorise you nihon-jin on a regular basis. ;)

awww, aint that sweet.

Dont worry amigo, we'll be here to greet you with open arms and empty glasses - coz you know what you gotta do next time youre in town, lol. Unless we're on teh wangan, that is...

..although, i wouldnt consider me a 日本人 just yet...

Oh god that is mouth watering. Wagyu?

yeah, judging by the fat content I'd say it's wagyu.

here's a few more pics:

different shabu-shabu pic.

fugu karage. for those that don't know fugu is a type of poisonous blow fish and is quite tasty. however if not cut correctly you will be eating a fatal poison. you can get fugu sashimi and lots of places have fugu soup too. this is fugu karage. very tasty. with the fugu sashimi sometimes they leave just a small bit of poison on it and it makes your lips go numb!

some better yaki-niku pics. you can see the meat on the right of the first pic, and on the left of the second pic some chicken etc. looove yaki-niku.

not really food, but still tastey, and still japanese. this is 2 glasses of asahi at the asahi headquarters in asakusa, tokyo.

haha, yeah thanks to the simpsons everyone knows what fugu is!

I really want to try naked sushi. anyone here done it? my friend was going to take me last time but he ended up being away when I was available to go. it should be good.

oh dude, I hope that's on the fail list. :stupid: wagamama is about as far from real, good japanese food as you can get. I mean, they sell duck gyoza FFS!!! duck gyoza i tells ya.

oh, that's another for my 'likes' list. gyoza. very nice. hard to get good ones in aus though.

edit: just saw the second post, I need to take you to a real japanese restaurant. the crap they sell at wagamana is not real gyoza. it's a half baked 'fusion' restraurant chain started by english wankers who know FA about good japanese food. real gyoza will blow you away after the rubbish they sell.

ichi ban boshi?

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
