VOTE 1 - The Premium Malts, by Suntory. Its my Ihiban.

Kirin IchiBan and Asahi Super Dry sold in Aus are not from Japan. They are either brewed in Aus or Malaysia and taste different to the actual Japanese brew (I dont think Ihiban has been sold in Japan for many years) :spank:

yeah Kirin is brewed here at Lidcombe in Sydney (lion nathan), and the Asahi is brewed in Thailand and imported here ;) The Sapporo we get is made in Canada of all places...

Well the beer itself is actually japanese but its brewed and bottled in Thailand, distributed by a company in Melbourne but remains under licence from japan much like what Fosters did when they offloaded its garbage to the UKaround 10 years ago. This is why its does taste different to local Japanese beer.

Just remember to check the label if you want to be getting Japanese beer. If you get Kirin or Asahi in Sydney chances are they're not brewed in Japan. One is made by Carlton the other is in Canada or Thailand or something and no it doesn't taste the same as the stuff in Japan.

Sapporo in the bottle is also not brewed in Japan.

If you have the money (and I mean stupid bling) get the Sapporo silver can. It's like $8/each. I get one or two occasionally when I feel sentimental and rich. That's my favourite anyhoo...

lol, thanks for being only the fourth person to point that out! :)

not quite right though. The kirin is brewed by lion nathan, not carlton and the asahi in thailand. the sapporo in a bottle generally is the japanese stuff, imported here (at least the stuff I have bought was). so is the yebisu. Sapporo in the sivler can on the other hand is from canada. I've never seen those cans in japan...

Didn't realise it had been mentioned - sorry!

About the silver cans I can't say I've seen them in Japan either and you're right they're Canadian. They were at one point 'bottled' in Japan tho (perhaps only in Japanese restaurants because now that I think about it that's where I've had the J-ones ...)

Kirin, Asahi and Sapporo are my 3 most favourite japanese beers, in that order.

My ex-girlfriend was japanese and she use to be a promo girl for Kirin beer back when she was 19 or 20.

Damn she was fine! :laugh:

i think Japanese beer is great and im a fan of Malts ( the premium really is just that ) and as a bonus i live 10 minutes away from the factory near Fuchu station and you know what that means..

you get 15 minutes at the end of the tour to drink up the sweeeet nectar. They should never have let an aussie loose in there. i make them pay for it EVERY time

still...i am REALLY hanging out for a boags premium. Thats by far THE best aussie beer and ill be damned if i can find it here.. closest i got was cascade..but well its just not the same!

Its like Heiniken... The stuff thats made here is absolute cats piss compared to the Heiniken from Holland.

The 5ltr pressure kegs of heiniken that around around at the moment (in melb at least they are, around $37.50 a keg) .. are totally different.

You put a glass of the Holland Heini, and the Aust Heini... and you nearly chuck after a mouthful of the latter.

Similar to the Japanese beers, and all the others no doubt.

Its just not the same...

What i wouldnt give for a true Japan imported beer.

yeah, that's pretty true. there are a few places in sydney that I can get the real japanese stuff. most ebisu and sapporo (the bottled stuff, not the canadian cans). asahi and kirin is a little harder to find. as kirin is now brewed in sydney, and asahi imported from thailand. and I've never seen malts or malts premium here at all, but I live on the stuff in japan. and chu-hi lime. or chu-hi lemon. the kirin can chu-hi is very good to get smashed on. and refreshing too.

Yeah Asahi and Sapporo FTW.

I recently had some Asahi brought back from Japan by a friend, and the difference is chalk and cheese between the Thai brewed and jap brewed stuff.

The JDM Asahi is alot more creamy than the thai stuff..... don't get me wrong the Thai stuff we get here in Oz is great, but the true JDM Asahi is alot better!!

I've tried to get friends to bring/send some over (as JDM have 2-3lt cans of Asahi!!), and it's really hard.... :huh: Something to do with terror laws and importing liquids.

Slightly off topic, it's kinda like Cadburys chocky from England. When ever my relo's go to the UK, they always bring back heaps of cadbury milk chocky. Something to do with the English chocky not having a additive that Aussie stuff has to stop it from melting to much in milk bars. Don't know if thats BS, but you can taste the difference between UK chocky and Oz Chocky. :)

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
