Is that the one in pittwater rd ?

If so we were there last year when nick and carlo had the mr2's

Great feed, but if we have more than 8 we will need to book early.

How about Bella Mia? this is a great restaurant in Roseville. it's italian food and very, very good. it's high end though so not pizza, spag bol etc. more like carpaccio di manzo, and scalopine di vitello con funghi (two of my favourites). mmm i can taste it now. or the northern is quite good, plus for andrew they will cook for you. people who are so inclined can cook their own.

Roseville is good for me, actually anywhere is, unless ppl want to go for a mini cruise out my way to a place like the Mean Fiddler, back of Castle Hill?

...and Robin..ill be back in Melb from June onwards...;)

I will give it a miss if its that italian restaurant.. I was pritty disappointed with the food.

If you want decent italian then dee why we should go..  

nah it's not that one. we haven't been to this place before (well i have but not with SAU). it's in roseville near the station. very nice food, but not particulary cheap. no more expensive than R+R though...

When we choose the dinner of the month we need to consider:

1. Parking, needs to be pleanty and safe

2. Food needs to be good and must be able to cater for our group size (2-30 people)

3. Price, its not fair for some to go to places like R+R often as it is a $60 pp without drinks. The Kaiser Stubahan is also Exey (was there on tuesday)

4. Needs to be close to the main group of people going ( Northside)

5. Cannot be too close to a shopping center as its Thursday nights and all the shopping moms are out to dent our cars

There are so many places on the Northshore that we can go to.

makoto is on victoria ave in chatswood. I haven't been to that one. been to the one on liverpool st though and it was excellent.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
