Stone grill eye fillet @ Paesanos Knox, don't question it, just do if you haven't already. I have these almost weekly, it's a terrible addiction. You cannot top the advantages of cooking it yourself (instantly) to perfection, having the actual meal come out in 15 minutes, and having a permanently hot meal. $30 for 250-300 gram eye fillet (varies on the day, but a good size and always good quality meat) including sauce and chips/salad. An extra $15 will get you another piece of meat (never done this, so don't know if it's the same size or not). I've been to most of the well known steak restaurants in Melbourne and the only ones that have come close IMO in terms of taste / overall quality are $50-60 for a piss small eye fillet not including sauce etc. Outback Jacks was decent but it had me wishing I hadn't ventured outside of my comfort zone.

You have to cook it yourself?

and 300g is a snack...

+1 dezz.

I think 300g is acceptable for lunch (coz I eat 7 meals a day) but if I've waited long enough for dinner, I'm gonna want a shitload more than that.

but you're tiny! have you grown from the last time i saw you?

eye fillet is always small though, unless you wanna pay big $

Went to this place in Richmond called Vlado's for a mate's birthday once...you pay $90 a head and you get like 4-5 courses I think

first is a home made sausage

then they bring out a plate of small pieces of different meats (eye fillet, pork and lamb I think) with bread etc...

then the main course you can either have the eye fillet, or the porterhouse...I got the eye fillet, and it was the biggest eye fillet I've ever eaten (apart from when I cut my own at home)... then dessert

When I go out for dinner/lunch I get a porterhouse 95% of the time, sometimes rib eye, sometimes rump (outback jack's rump steak was actually very nice)

usually try to get at least 400g or I feel like I need another meal..

checking out this Mrs Parma's joint tonight...

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
