Some friends and I will be heading to Brisbane on the 13th June for 1 week to drink some serious alcohol and check out the local talent.

What I'm wanting to know is where are the best places to visit for cheap drinks and a good atmosphere?

We will be staying at the Tower Mill on Whickham Terrace which apparently is pretty close to everything.

I've heard Fridays is pretty good??

Looking forward to your replys.

Valley all the way dude! its awesome, plenty of good places for cheap drinks and great clubs. There are some places to steer clear of, eg, the beat, i hear some members of this forum frequent that place.... mmmm :)

If you like bad music, saluts and cheap booze (and bad clubs) go to the city, ie fridays, mary street, rowers etc etc.

If you want great music, high class talent and stuff, the valley is best.

Valley = good clean fun.

City = boozers, drunken messy slarts and bad clubs and people trying to fight you.

whats wrong with the beat? Dano why but when i go upstairs guys offer to get me drinks...

:D JOKING!

Depends what sort of crowd u wanna mingle with really & what sort of person u are (and the folk you are going out with)

City is good for getting rattassed on beer & cheap spirits listening to live music, with heaps of young broads and middle aged blokes wanting to score a r00t & getting agro. I like the port office, fridays, vic, the stocky (exchange), irish murphys, adrenalin, PJ obriens, embassy. Just a bit out of town on corro drive there is the regatta & the RE. Plenty of young uni lass's. Not a fan of hotel LA & caxton st. Had some good nights at the normanby (nice pub, very large).

Valley has a different vibe about the place - different folk. Plenty of stunners, pill poppers, and wierdos. But I feel everybody tends to keep to themselves and be more accepting rather than the vibe you get in town... Family is a great nite out (if you are dressed for the occasion) GPO, sun bar, elephant & wheel barrow, belushis. I hear the dirty old shamrock has been revamped - must go and sus it out sometime hehe. Arena usually hosts good alternative bands touring. Havent been to a rave there (yes i am a rave virgin), but i hear the raves are all good.

The Coast is full of terry's on steroids and the chix are gold diggers. Omalleys is great fun for a few good pints of kilkenny & also snakebites. Gilhooleys, melbas, shooters arent too bad. Rose & crown & sugar shack are ok. Not a fan of the drink. The clock is a nice hotel. Billys beachhouse does cheap drinks. bourbon bar is feral. I wanna try fever one night, i hear its all good - similar music to the family apparently.

thats my word on the street :rofl:

cant wait to smack it on the long weekend, not sure where it will be yet...

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
