i have been to the raffles bar, but i haven't been upstairs to the restaurant yet...

has anyone been?

I read a review in box magazine, and it looks really nice, but i was wondering what type of food they have and how expensive it is... im guessing it is expensive, but is it worth is or are you just paying extra to help them pay their renovation debts?

Its VERY expensive and not worth it. The service is bad and they are still very unorganised. They can't keep chefs and restaurant managers/fucntion co-ordinators, which doesnt say alot for the establishment.

If you want to eat at the raffles just order something to eat from the bar (which is still pretty pricey) and enjoy a nice sunny day in the beer garden.

It is just about impossible to keep staff in any restaurant. I used to be a supervisor at a one, and will never go back. I worked there for three years and saw over 150 staff come and go. This is a lot considering the maximum amount of staff we had at any point was 28.

Hospitality has too many options and not enough staff to fill them. This means that as soon anyone is sick of working at a place, the just piss off and have a new job the next day.

Keeping restaurant floor staff and kitchen staff (bascially the shit kickers) is not the same as being able to keep good Chefs and Managers. Of course its easy to leave a job when your waitstaff and get a new one the next day. But if you want a reputation as a top chef or manager - it doesnt look good swapping between jobs every week. The fact they cannot keep these positions filled shows they are unorganised and career hospitality staff do not see it as a good place to work. This is then reflected in the service provided as the staff will be new and untrainined etc

I have to agree with that. But we still went through head chefs fast. I saw about 12 head chefs in my three years. Then again the owners paid peanuts... and we all know, when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys :domokun:

I thought elephants liked peanuts??

I heard it was run by the guy who owns cocos in sth perth. Apart from all the wank thats not a bad place. Havent gone upstairs at raffles but really disliked the decor and the food and the service and the beers. MY experience involved getting hit for close to $10 for a middy of asahi then getting hit for $8 for a palte of 8 wedges, yes $1 for a piece of potato that was not that well done at all and sitting around thinking.... um are they trying unsuccessfully to merge art deco and post modern decor here? i feel like im in a 90s fashion nightmare with good looking barstaff. So yer i think ill stick with clancy's as my local. maybe its just not my scene.

ive known two people who have worked at the raffles and quit because it was a bad place to work,

and yes it is owned by the same guy who owns coco's i beleive - not sure if its just the restaraunt upstairs thats owned by him, or if the bar is too.

upstairs is more art deco style from pics ive seen - i kinda like it, i think its a nice change from regular places.

its a shame that everything is so expensive there.

I wouldn't waste my time or my money with the new raffles...

Try something like Romany, Matilda Bay or Fraser's...

Or if you want to go to Burswood, Victoria Station is a stellar restaurant..

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
