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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
