you sir, i believe, from memory, have just been to shanghai memory which yes as you said, is run by the son of the owners of night shanghai. it's slightly better looking and a TINY bit more spacious, but barely more so...anyway not complaining, cos as you said the food is JUST AS GOOD (sometimes even better?)

new shanghai is A DIFFERENT company/restaurant (like kfc and red rooster). night shanghai is daddy (like burger king and hungry jacks).

edit:oh and you know what, now that i mentioned companies + restaurants, it makes me think of the fact that in most cases when restaurants are owned/opened/backed by a 'company' the wankiness and therefore price jumps up. i love how most asian foods (barring a percentage of japanese) is free from such wankery

edit 2: ie; MS.G's, Mr.Wong's etc etc.

Yes, shanghai memory was the one, there i was thinking i was at night shanghai the whole time haha - None the less, i cant wait to go back,

Ive been to Ms G's ect, Nothing that really stands out, Over priced food thats nothing special at all. Pay $15 for literally a bite size burger is NOT cool.

Give me a grubby, dingy place with good prices and food to match any day of the week- Some of the best places ive ever been to are the worst looking places you could imagine.

205 Liverpool Road, Ashfield

try the lamb bbq skewers, lamb ribs and shredded potato salad

and call me when you decide to go as I'm coming too!

Ta

I've told Maria about it and she'd like to try!

Apparently this style of cooking is in S-W China near Tibet she says.

Wanna be 'the other woman'?

Anyone know some good places for lunch in the CBD?

I work around Pitt St Mall and every thing there is incredibly overpriced. But they have Mad Mex which is the tits.

menya mappen is a japanese udon/soda bar (more of a bar than resto), with a don-version (rice bowls) next to it. cheap quick and very tasty, it's right next to george st cinemas so that should be pretty close to where you work?

google that, you will find a multitude of reviews (most if not all positive)!

the snag stand in westfield sydney is quite nice, but it, like all the other places in the food court, are a bit (s)wanky - i really can't justify paying 7-9$ for a hot dog.....

David Jones Food Hall is the ultimate classic!

Entry downstairs from Market St (between Castlereagh and Pitt)

About 10 choices.

My pick for the city.

The roast place in The cheap food court in westfields (under myer), go the roast lamb or chicken

Salad shop in the laneway next to the establishment

Verandah bar on Wednesday for a $10 schnitzel

The Japanese place on the corner of Pitt and market.

My pick for the city would have to Dixon house food court, Cheap, Tasty and a high turnover of food. What more do you want?

More so i love the feeling of walking underground into this gruby place like its some sort of 80's Hong Kong gangster film haha.

TBH golden century is a premium price for a product you could get elsewhere for just as good but say half the cost.....namely hurstville, burwood, cabra, etc etc.

@jimmy , dude you're so close to hurstville/beverly hills they have heaps of good chinese restos, no need for the city!

yeah it's not that bad living around there.. it's changed a lot, low crime rates (now, minus that bikie shooting at that hall), good cheap food, cheap rent, etc..

Going to try a find a job in Parramatta instead of working in GayMont I mean Pyrmont. Spend over 1.25 hrs getting to work each way!

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
