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?

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...

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      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

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      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.
