There's also a ripper Asian foodcourt in Haymarket - Dixon House Food Court. Cheap and dirty food, but tastes sensational. There is one place in particular (I think it's a 'sizzling plate restaurant' or something like that) that gives mountainous portions - but be warned: they make their food HOT with a capital F!

Can't really go wrong with top level haymarket. If you get cheap and nasty, at least there is a crap load of food, and I mean heaps of it, although all the nice tasty litres of oil doesn't go down with me as well now as it did back in Uni days.. If you get the hotplate place, it's pricier and you get less food (still a good amount) but you get more and better meat with less oil.

Best part about haymarket though is the Lychee blended ice fro the drinks place in the middle. Only had about 10 of them in 8 years and i'm sure I get diabetes every time I have it. But it's so good!!!

Also weight update, from the time my post #262 I am down from 94.2kg to 86.8kg. Counting down the weeks until I can at least eat at some restaurants again.

The apple bar at Bilpin is good always had good a top notch feed there

1 of The chefs from there is on ready steady cook from time to time and bells line of road up through bellbird hill has some sweet twisties makes for a nice cruise with some good scenery and fun roads :thumbsup:

Cruise maybe???? :ninja:

May want to reconsider this place

Chargrill Charlie's consistently have awesome burgers, but strangely enough the one at Wahroonga is not quite as good as at St Ives, I've found. Plenty of other stuff on their menu too, but I haven't bothered to try anything else because the burgers hit the spot!

Did Masuya on monday night, wasn't too expensive.

was pretty alright too, though i think i can make their soy milk hotpot better.

Their boat display of sashimi never disappoints.

Fresh taste of fish - also based on how they cut it is superb.

went to Sake not long ago.. on the expensive side but didn't mind..

fusion Japanese usually isn't my forte, but this time round I actually didn't mind it.. didn't get the degustation menu as it looked a little too "fusion" for me

didn't mind the salmon tacos, tuna carpaccio (special on the day)... pretty good experience

Had lunch at Chur Burgers again today, yum.

burgers are great, also the scenery at lunch time is great too, usually leave hungry but with a boner LOL..

too bad I work in Milson's Point now, it's sad :(

RibTerranean in Balmain huh?

227 Darling St

P: 80650987

I must try it - luv ribs - especially pork ribs (hmmm maybe lamb)...

And I'll say hello to James the owner - if his R34 is out the front!

Some of their staff Chris, are from the home of Hyundai ;)

That's a pretty regular occurrence at a lot of "Japanese" restaurants now, and has been for quite a long time.

where i work at has heaps of korean girls coming and going

although, it also pains me to say that their work ethic, and physical attributes are a lot better than the real jdm girls.

RibTerranean in Balmain - owned by an SAU fanatic, restaurant is 10months old, we are now rated number 1 in Balmain!

If your after a superb rack of soft juicy ribs, lamb platters, tender haloumi cheese, zesty squid, the best Lebanese food you've ever tasted, 12 different Mediterranean salads, should I keep going?

Google us - Ribterranean.

Mention SAU and we will discount your bill.

Well you must be doing something right James when two other restaurants in Balmain are copying your menu - but can't keep up the standards you set!

Terrific meal last night with 50/50 Bourbon/Smokey Pork Ribs.

And the dessert...

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
