Hey guys,

Girlfriend are looking to head out for dinner Saturday night but have no idea where to go. We'd prefer somewhere east/south east of the city, or even in the city, but we're not prepared to travel to the other side for a good meal. However, in the interest of keeping this thread useful for everyone you can post up good restaurants regardless of locations.

What we're looking is excellent food at affordable prices. We're prepared to pay a bit a quality meal, but nothing extreme.

Cheers.

Paesano @ Knox O-Zone for a stone grill eye fillet, best value steak in town easily.

I've got a massive list of good restaurants I could post up for you lol, me and the friends had this "different restaurant every week" thing going on for about 2 years.

Anything honestly, so long as it tastes good. We like a range of cuisines and are always open to trying something new.

Rockpool at Crown is really great food but will be expensive. Ask for the bar menu, Wagyu burgers for around $20 but there is lots to choose from.

1 word for Rockpool in Crown or the one in Sydney.... OVERRATED..

Been to both Rockpools and tried their wagyu steak. No idea why Roger Federer was known to frequent the restaurant every time he comes over for Aus Open.

If budget isn't a problem, go try Vue De Monde in the city. If not, you can try out the newly opened Maze restaurant at Crown Metropol opened by Gordon Ramsey.

At vue, expect to spend about $200+ a person for something average. Personally never been to Maze yet, would be trying it out in the next couple of weeks i hope.

Whoa, that's expensive.

I was thinking like... $50-60 at most pp. Feel free to post up more expensive joints, I'm sure I'll give them a try on a special occasion, but we're just going out for dinner and wanted to try something new.

She might get a cocktail or something, but I'll be driving unfortunately.

If you like a good steak then Grill Room on St Kilda Road. (1 Queens Rd)

0398637700

My group of mates are semi-regulars there now for years. Top venue and never had a bad meal in all the years.

Will be roughly $60/head depending on what you order it might even be less.

Ate at the Pub Bar in Crown last week and loved it.

Cost us about $100 for 2 people including a bottle of wine. The food was simple and tasted good. It's always packed on weekends

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
