We went to some middle eastern type restaurant in Auburn once when we just randomly stumbled across it in Sydney. The food was fabulous but I've never quite felt so uncomfortable and out of place while still being in Australia... Felt like we were in another country and the chick was explaining the food to us as if we were foreigners! Very strange experience!

Try being a chick with platinum blonde hair!! lol.

Actually dumbest thing I ever did in Sydney (at night) was turn off the M4 looking for fuel onto the Cumberland Highway. Cabramatta is no place for a chick alone in a GTR!

LOL... they just mirin'

I hate going to Auburn and Granville. And I'm Lebanese (albeit Christian)! I'd hate to think how out of place an Anglo would feel. Great food though :-)

First time i went to auburn to eat (with my gf) it was awkward AS. Not because i was with the gf, but because being the only asians in a The land of goat sphincter rings restaurant...thankfully most of the shop owners and waiters/waitresses are very very nice, and all you need to do is smile and ask a few questions. and try and look confident.

Driving to auburn/granville, my friends always make the joke that "i fit right in"...so actually i kind of don't feel so out of place

GTRKat - just give us a yell in this thread when you next need to go to auburn i'm sure some of us would gladly form a convoy to see you through sydney hahaha

^as long as your an asian that can do some Zyzz poses you'll be fine :)

I walk around Granville and Auburn and I fit right in hahaha, just say OMG BRO or ULLEH a few times and the locals laugh

^^ Yes "Flames" Restaurant at Bulldogs is high quality. Just a bit exxy and slow when the kitchen is stretched. Good floor staff.

Also at Bulldogs, "Dynasty" Chinese Seafood Restaurant is highly rated in its food. Not exxy. Chinese menu is different from Aussie. Ask for Lotus Chicken off the Chinese menu. Also Walnut Pepper Steak. Also Tofu and Fish Diced.

Also at Bulldogs in the "Bistro" ask for a rack of Ribs on a non crowded night when the meat has been thoroughly marinated.

Great place to go on a rainy night. Direct access to the club from the carpark means you don't get wet.

There is just something about Sydney, and the attitude of majority of people - The same reason i refuse to go out to the city Friday and Saturday night

Back on topic

I will be having lunch at Aqua dining in Milsons Point on Friday followed by dinner at Jazz City Diner in Darlinghurst ( lets see if they can BBQ low n slow better then me)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • 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.
