If you really get stuck writeoff and can't make up your mind with all these great suggestions, I'll lend you the SLED for a night and you can take her for a spin along the coastline. :(

THANKS!!!!

I have printed this up and now have it in writing. ;)

dont set the bar too high $$ wise mate, and yeah dinner can be pretty stressful for a 1st date. something simple like going to chocolate on rundle st, or even getting a bunch o fish n chips n sitting on the grass down the bay is totally underrated. Places like that where there is plenty going on around u, give heaps of inspiration for conversation.

Oh oh, I think I might need a lawyer. :) Did you note the time I made the offer.......I must have been sleep walking & sleep typing. :P me!!

Never, never underrate fish n chips down at the bay, worked for me in my younger days.........just bring a couple of 'wet ones' with you, she might not like greasy fingers after.

You have to be kidding, its not that expensive

check out the menue here

The hilton is very over rated and not worth the visit. In my opinion it is trying to live off of a reputation that is no longer deserved. The food is OK (but no better than OK) and you can find food to match in many local PUBS. Whilst the hilton employ some top cheffs, most of the staff that prepare you meal are little more than kitchen hands (who like to call themselves chefs)

yes it is very overrated and the food (in my opion) wasnt that great. just the chef has alot to live upto.

i went for the tasting australia menu which cost me nearly 500 for the two of us consiting of 10 different courses. this menu wont be up on their site as it was mailed to us a week before hand.

it was my first and last time i will ever go there

SHIKI AT THE HYATT HOTEL IN TOWN OMG thats the best japanese restraunt place to eat!! they cook infront of you too heaps good if u want entertainment + food. OR u can go to BARIA at Catalina if parafield gardens ahahaa ....

If you're cashed up, Chloe's Restaurant is sensational - seriously one of the best meals I've ever eaten. I took my wife there, and we cracked $200 for the night, but it was worth every cent. I'm not into restaurant snobbery and was of the opinion that you reach a price where you spend more on a meal just for the sake of the restaurant's image, but the quality of the ingredients really impressed me.

For the best fish and chips on the planet, there's a place in Semaphore where you actually have to order half an hour in advance, they're that good. The name escapes me just now.

    • A few things that seem a bit off here. - why is there 2 BOV’s?  - the turbo smart BOV on the compressor housing, is it turned up ALL the way? I have seen this become an issue on old man Pete’s car. It would push open and recirc, turbo speed would rise and the boost pressure would do weird things. - stock head? Does that include springs? - tried a different MAC valve? Is it plumbed correctly?
    • Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?
    • Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened. 
    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers
