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.

yessir, off to asia we go!

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.

Thanks guys, I'll check them all out eventually! One place I have found is Big Bite on Pitt St. The biggest sanga you've ever seen for $10. The are f**kin massive and super tasty.

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!

Bau Truong in Canley Heights, the meanest Special Pork Chop Rice ever.. even my mates from Melbourne and all my Non-asian mates dig it!

Your a lucky man living so close to there, Im that keen i take a drive in at least once a fortnight, for a month or so i was goign every saturday morning haha. Its so dam good......

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!

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
