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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
