5 votes all. It's a close one.

I reckon people who vote, but then don't come to the dinner shouldn't be allowed to vote for 2 months...

:werd:

How come we always have like 15 voters and 5 people at dinner? :(

We'll make these polls open from next month onwards, so we can keep track of who votes and then pulls a no-show :kick:

BAN!

Lane Cove is so so much better than R&R!! Great prices, large servings, plenty of parking, great service and most importantly the meat is EXCELLENT!

I just find that R&R is a little on the pricey side for the service and quality you get!

You won't be disappointed defecting to the Lane Cove River Steakhouse contingent! :(

Lane Cove Steakhouse's steaks are............ meh. Nothing special. They're just like the big-ass $5 steaks you get in any pub. Size isn't everything. They aren't good cuts of meat, and the two times I've been there, they've been cooked tough and chewy.

R&R may be expensive, and the service appalling, but the steaks are excellent quality, perfectly cooked, juicy and tender.

WERD UP MY N1GGA.

R+R's steak is tha shizzle, but comes at a price.

Lane cove is not bad. the time we went there for SAU dinner it was really quite good. I went back not long after that and it (the steak) was below par. not the greatest cut, and not expertly cooked.

if we are going to go steak I say we go the whole hog and do R+R. on the other hand, LCR SH is ok by me too, just not my first pref.

EDIT: f**k I'm getting hungry for a steak right now...

mmmm Steak :wassup:

I have been to R+R about 10x in Manly and 5x in Gordon in the past 3 years.

I agree with Andrew, they are a top steak house....but they are expensive, not BYO, service is average (in Manly) and the parking sux at both locations.

I have only been to LCR SH twice and they were what I would expect for the price. They are not unreal, but the food and service is good.

If I had my choice we would be always going to Thai Orchid....cheap and tasty with great parking:wassup:

Come on Mal!!!

You can't keep going to the same restaurants, no matter how good they are. Lets branch out and try some new things. We should limit Thai Orchid to 3 visits a year. That's once every 4 months. I would suggest only twice a year, but I'd probably be gunned down by all the TO-fanatics in the crowd :rofl:

Remember that we only get 12 monthly dinners a year, so lets diversify our restaurant selection :) There's no need to keep going to the same ones surely! Malabar was an excellent recommendation, lets keep the variety coming!

And in aid of this new-found adventurousness, does anyone know of any other GOOD steakhouses other than LCRSH and R&R?

oh fcuk yes...............

I was looking for that pic you had of it to post up again, but can't find it? I'd swear you posted it up in the TAS pics thread?

yeah I think 3 times to TO would be enough.

I reckon after this months steak expedition we do Jap next. Teppanyaki :rofl: or, would could try the new branch of Makoto. For those that don't know Makoto is like an upmarket version of sushi train. it's on liverpool st in the city but they've now opened in chatswoo. I am partial to teppanyaki though...

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
