I see a lot of discussion about Scotch. This makes me happy in my pants. Scotch puts hairs on chests and intrigue, mystery and sex appeal into women who drink it.

However this is only touching the surface of whisky/ey gentlemen! What of Rye's, Sour Mash, Irish, Japanese or dare I say... Australian!

so cheap in japan, half price basically to what we get it here for.

all alcahol is cheap, a bottle of balentines was $10

vodka was usually $8

goot times.

supprisingly in comparison the most expencive were jack daniels, basic johnnies and jim beam. still only maby %20-30 cheaper, couldnt work that out.

if anyone is ever going to japan ill give you a thousand or 2 to bring back what i should have bought.

also this was waiting for me at the airport which helped with my night flight.

My alcoholic dream holiday destination, Otard, Hennessy and Fransac all in a row, Martell down the road and Remy over the back a bit...bliss!Posted Image

When I go back to France that is on my to do list.

Also should you eventually realise your dream holiday, make certain you book the tour to go to Camus distillery where you can also create your own Cognac

do you reside in Japan? That is all quality single malts right there (apart from King George JW blue label).

Kinda not surprising alcohol is cheaper considering in Australia excise tax and duties are imposed heavily on them.

Love the Suntory expressions and am keen to one day have them all in my display closet.

Looks like your flight would have indeed been a pleasant one ;)

I do intend to go back to Japan......but with young kids to look after, it could be a while yet.

Sorry should have been more clear...was there the other week :D This was at the Remy tour with the food and cognac tasting at the end...yum! The other photo is half of the prolific range they had in our hotel, the other cabinet housed 50+ bottle of the $2000+ bottles

Tonight I'm having some of this

post-5053-14036896617177_thumb.jpg

Ardbeg Uigeadail one of the great and powerful but certainly a tasty SM

At 54.2% I've added some water to stop the harshness of the Whisky from confusing my taste buds and palate

Been sitting with glass watch cover for about 20mins (this one takes some time to open up)

I'm expecting large amounts of peat and smokiness

Just had a taste then.

Nose: peat smoke with fresh sea salt mist (has the smell of the sea shore at an old fishing peer)

Palate: EXPLOSIVE (as the most first tastes are but this is really powerful)

Second taste - spicy and peppery as the alcohol tingles the mouth and throat but you get a hint of sweet dried fruit like fig and raisins

Finish: smoke, old burnt wood / BBQ smoke but not the suffocating type more a long and comforting ride in the country side next to a bond fire

Very moving single malt

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
