Also there is very nice Sushi place just of Toorak rd, in South Yarra. Pricey, but very nicey!

Oh and quick lesson of Asahi....

This is Asahi

Asahi-33-cl-799614.jpg

Notice the 2 black Japanese symbols in the middle of the bottle.... don;'t drink this stuff! It's not brewed in Japan, usually in Oz it's from Thailand or even the UK.

This is the Asahi you want!

Notice the 1 black Japanese symbol in the middle of the bottle/can (the symbol means 'Draft')... this is the stuff you want. :)

Oh and if you want JDM Kirins, the cellar on Acland st, St Kilda and the JDM grocery market behind the KFC on Chapel st has em. In cans of 500ml goodness :)

Haha dude, try finding Japan brewed Asahi here. Near impossible. All Aus stuff is Thai brewed :)

Yep. Made in Thailand or UK.

I've only had the Japanese stuff at a place called "Teppensan" on Russell St.

I'm feeling a Sushi meet coming on, I get my new car this month. I'll organise one early December! :)

Make sure it's unofficial so I can come :D

I haven't been to an SAU meet in quite a while.

went to a nice cosy downstairs place on little burke near exhibition street the other night :)

nihonbashizen

Looks very pricey too.

I use to goto Yoyogi Cafe

211-213 Swanston St

Melbourne VIC 3000

Phone (03) 9663 7266

Service, food and price were all very good.

Loved Ishiya Japanese Stonegrill when I went there this year for my birthday: http://www.ishiyastonegrill.com.au/

It's on Little Bourke Street. I had the Wagyu stonegrill, myself and my partner were a little over $150 together with drinks, so not cheap, but bloody worth it.

For reasonably priced Japanese, Sapporo next to Mitcham station is fantastic: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?sourc...346253128765221

there was a tiny sushi shop on whitehorse rd near mitcham station, used to make up decent handrolls fresh

Well guys, I'm going to J's Surf & Turf in Brighton tomorrow night for dinner (all you can eat)!

$28 per person, and you can get half a dozen of fresh raw oysters per person :)

It seems like it's gonna be packed, I was just lucky to get a booking for tomorrow night at 8, but all the other times are pretty much booked out.

So I'll let you guys know how it goes :blush:

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
