Where abouts are you staying

if your here for the v8's east end would be best as its on the gates of the track

The Old Exchange (might be attending a little event there on the sunday night :whistling: )

Distill - more of a lounge, go play old school mario on snes whilst knocking back some vodka

Belgian Beer Cafe - already mentioned, sensational brews available but bring lots of $$ :cheers:

The Stag - will be over crowded as the bogan population of adelaide will be in there

If you want to see the sights and visit the emergency room at RAH you can go down Hindley St

The Old Exchange? f**k me. Never ever go there.

Ever since the new owners took it over, renamed it to that shit name (previously the Electric Light) they have ruined it. The Old Exchange? Sounds like I'm heading to a 1890's pub.

Went there the other week, bar manager gave me a 'tour' of their 'renovated' back room where they have literally destroyed it. Bar looks like it's made from pieces of wood found on the side of the road. She couldn't even turn on the lights since half of them weren't working. Crowd outside in the beer garden was full of feral bogans. 2 guys wearing Fubu shirts and wu-tang trackies. Rest of the crowd were f**king horrible.

That place is a f**king dump. The manager even admitted that the new owners "could barely afford to buy the place" let alone keep it half respectable.

Tap Inn is a quality pub. Sugar on a Friday/Saturday night on Rundle St is real quality. Older crowd (early 30's and up) and awesome house music. Most places on Rundle St are decent. Also the Union is pretty good, as is the top room there.

You can make your own judgement about Hindley street but it's pretty tame compared to other states around Australia.

plus one for the tap in. also maid and magpie on magil rd and the oriental great places for a feed. north adelaide also has a small selection of good pubs.

victor harbour down south is not bad for a drive and sights, and moana and glenelg beaches have some nice sights too :P

yes the tap in is under recievership, but still operating, the same people also own the bombay bicycle club and coopers ale house. tap in was never as popular as expected all welland good being packed all weekend but think of how much they put into the place.

is the tap in still open, i heard they went into recievership?

Spoke to a DJ who works there, they're bringing in $4 base spirits all night Friday and $12 jugs of spirits all night Saturday just recently... obviously to bring in more people.

Such a nice place but too far out from town. Was a novelty the first few times you go there. And they removed the put put on the roof :(

I hear Radelaide has lots of churches ey brah

yeah I hear that !!!!!, Rad is not the word ..lol

sellicks beach for a day on the sand is nice depending on the tide, weather. just watch for sharks if you go for a swim ,, they come in very very close. but so do the good fish if you cast a line out

just check out the race , if you can see any of it thru 3 layers of fencing,

book a tour at the coopers brewery. proceeds go to charity and only costs $20 or something and about $20 cab fare from the city unless you bus it. takes you for a tour round the site and after you try each of the beers - best to take a bus or cab home again but great fun!

but coz your down for the 500 Hutt street (in the city- they close it off for a street party) is fairly nice after the race to have a nice alfresco meal with some of the Barossa's finest reds.

Adelaide is a bad place to visit - but a great place to live

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
