I eat out heaps, but one of my favourites would have to be Donovan's on St Kilda Beach. They tend to be a bit on the pricey side, but their quality of food is great.

However, if you want generic restaurants, head down to Lygon St, or you could also try Giorgio's in Armadale (Corner of High St and Glenferrie Rd.)

dont get out much to 'nice' restauraunts, but one that i have been to is rococo (not 100% sure on spelling) in st kilda, just up from maccus and that dodgy roundabout thingy. its more relaxed than most places, great atmosphere, plenty of people (good in its own way) and price was pretty decent too. from memory it was well under 100 for two people, only a couple of beers in that, no bottles of wine or anything

I SECOND THIS, DONOVANS IS THE BEST!!! :(:wub: Service and food is excellent! win/win.

+1 for M&W Co...

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.

haha Paesano stone grill steak is good.

One time they were out of steak so instead they served chicken, lamb, pork on one rock. Three different meats in one meal! :P

If you like Japanese I recommend Naked Japan in South Melbourn, about $50 for 2, or Yamato in Corr Ln China Town, about $40 for 2. Both QUALITY Japanese places.

If you want burgers go to Andrews Hambergers in South Melbourne, they are teh best and are cheap as (had reviews for years as best burger in melbourne)

Another idea is you like steak.

Squire's Loft City - 12 Goldie Pl, Melbourne - (03) 9670 7317

Faaaaaaarking amazing..... and the ribs are orgasmic. Bank on around $50-$70 each for a great feed.

Was about to say this too, Squire's loft in Docklands is a steal for a $30-50 steak. If you want to go a little less try the lamb for $27 or something you absolutely won't regret it.

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.

Without fail, it's a stone grill eye fillet from Paesanos. $30 for the meal (plus drinks)...good sized / filling cut of eye fillet, comes out in 15 minutes, cooking it is super fast, never under/over done, meal never gets cold. You'll never have someone cook you a steak again lol. DOOO IIIIIT!

Have you tried 'Boss Cocky's Cut' at Outback Jacks @ Knox? Fark me, the steak is on par with Meat and Wine Co. Try it - you will not be disappointed! I LOVE a god steak.

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

Oh yeah I forgot to add, Korean BBQ.

You order a plate of meat of your liking and you cook it yourself.

Nice and fun too.

But only place I know is in the city...

Used to be a regular there as well when i lived that side of town... always good.

But it's more a take-away thing, no sitdown.

Yep I agree, they are very good! You can sit down on the bench inside but it's 95% take away.

Lots of Korean BBQ in Box hill which is quite good also.

    • 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
