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

    • 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?
