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?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
