If I had my way, we would go to the Thai near Duncan and Kel's place.:wassup:  

 

Good parking and cheap, with a bottle shop next door with the super chiller:cheers:

I SECOND THAT !!!

I think thai orchid should be the default location if we cant make up our minds....

plus you also get hours of entertainment watching duncan try and work the "super chiller" :cheers::(

Thai Orchard is good,  but how about a something different for a change?

Heh heh yeah, we eat that stuff at least once a week.

My point was really about mixing it up, maybe going south or west for a change?

I'm happy to try somewhere other than northish. it's just that that's the areas that we know restaurants so we tend to recomend places there.

I'll have a think for somewhere southish and post it up.

The only places I know of South are around Brighton - probably *not* the best spot for us!

I'll ask around and see what else I can find.

There's Big John's in San Souci (on Rocky Point Rd). Big and cheap Italian food (mains pasta dishes are huge and only cost $15 or so, seafood is their specialty). If we make a fairly large booking (say 20 or so) we should be fine. Last time our group of 8 had a booking and still had to wait an hour :O However that was on a Saturday and they had a big gorup booking which had priority.

Parking isn't the best as it's street parking but the area is fairly safe.

haha I was just about to post up Big Johns when I read kels post about brighton.....

Italian seafood restaurant....and yes the dishes there are HUGE !!

went there for a mates bday and we had like 8 people....and we couldnt finish the seafood platter for TWO......

Like cereal mentioned the area is pretty safe....plenty of spots on the side street around the corner..near the KFC.....I got there early and manage to score a spot right in front of the restaurant :O

and omg..the bruchetta(sp?) there is like half a loaf of bread....

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
