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...

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • 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
