yeah I think 3 times to TO would be enough.

I reckon after this months steak expedition we do Jap next. Teppanyaki :) 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...

is makoto a japanese restaurant which serves sushi as well.?

cos a guy who owns/used to own? sushi train chatswood, burwood?, castlehill?

has a restaurant in the city.

hmm actually maybe it was closer to chinatown

Makoto is basically an upmarket Sushi Train. Much nicer decor, more gourmet sushi offerings, etc... Very nice, but quite expensive (worth it IMHO, but then again I always think good food is worth the asking price ;) Life's too short to eat bad food ;))

Kinda like Toko on Oxford St. A classy sushi train.

i'm yet to got to a japanese restaurant of ne kind.

:kick: :rant: :headshot: :bonk: :slap:

bar sushi train parra when dad used to own it. bad decisions made by him, he finally got rid of it but still in a legal mess with sushi train.

R&R is a better feed, but its loud and cramped

lanecove has better service but the steak is average.

well put. that being the case, I still say we follow the chronic steak to manly :(:cheers:

I dont understand why Japanese dinners aren't on the agenda more often. I think I've had Jap with SAU'ers once and that was not a regular monthly dinner. We all love Japanese right?

That being said I propose to boycott steak (even though I already voted for LCSH) and say Merli's Makato suggestion is "the win". Or any other Japanese place anywhere (with parking)... I'd suggest Sushi Suma in Surry Hills if it had decent parking and wasnt 125% full every night.

oi! don't pinch my kudos! Makoto was my idea!!! :cheers:

how's it going mate?

There was a Tepanyaki late last year. But anyway... blah blah blah.

The fact is that parking in Manly is shit. Anyone who says otherwise is dreaming and I'll fight yas all. The other fact is that the food is better quality there. But there is a poll with Lane Cove in front. Let the poll speak for the final call.

Of course there is still quite some time to go and by the time the dinner rocks around the poll could be 54 to 68 the other way round. It's a crazy mixed up world out there and you'd be mad not to arm yourself with a flame thrower no matter where you ended up going for dinner.

never a truer word was spoken.

since when have we listened to the poll? The monlthly dinner venue discussions are the most enjoyable bit! ;)

there is a car park in manly, its only $4 after 6 and i think there would be heaps of parking. i was in manly last friday night and it was fine. Wasnt scared for the safty of the line, and was cheap.

So if u guys are worried bout not finding parking there will be heaps...

We have some space and a BBQ......but if we are going the bb option we had better not leave it too much later in the year, good weather is on the way out :)

druncan, these dinners have been getting progressively closer to your house. I'm onto you. I know you want it in your house so that when you get shitfaced you don't even have to walk home!

selfish bastard.

I wanna get shitfaced too... :O

Sewid - Although Im not going this months I think steak is predetermined winner from last months little poll.....

But yes....all up for jap NEXT months !!! :)  

Chatswood Makoto sounds GOOOOD !! :O

Fair enough really. If it was decided last month than I shall stop rocking the boat.

    • 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.
