Bugger the Sushi...lets just go drink some JDM beer! :/

http://www.robotsushi.com/visual.aspx

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

was quite impressed.. not cheap tho! about 100$ for two well fed patrons!

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:

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
