Strangely enough, the best ones are not from Shanghai - the origin of siu loong baos..... but in Taipei (Taiwan)...the place is part of a chain restaurant specialising in siu loong baos throughout Asia with stores in Singapore, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong...Even more stranger is that, although they all trade under the same banner name DING TAI FUNG, the original 1st store opened in Taipei is the absolute best with such good service....

And, in the event that one gets served to you broken withe the soup leaking, it gets replaced...Now that's customer service!!!

As to Melb, I am sorry to say, but the ones you are eating are nowhere as near what a siu loong bao should be...

A successful siu loong bao must comply with the following:

1. steamed fresh and served within 2 minutes....the longer it is left after being steamed, the more the skin dries out....

2. must be made of FRESH ingredients, especially with fresh crab meat....to give that fresh, sweet, non-MSG flavour

3. Steamed under a silken cloth, not under a cabbage leaf or wombok leaf...

4. when picked up with chopsticksticks from the bamboo steamer, the skin must be almost see-through in colour (meaning very thin layer of skin), yet does not break whilst being picked up, and has a bouncy/chewy texture....

5. Must contain a high quality broth inside...and to burn your mouth like an exploding bomb when you eat it...LOL

6. Must be served with a high quality red vinegar and finely grated ginger....

Anyway, back to the meet....any other takers????? Come on...join in...MILLOS really wants your business at the car wash...LOL...

My, such intricate knowledge of such delicatessen

You are indeed the 'siu loong bao' man!

  • 3 weeks later...

Hey Rianto,

Still hapenning, as per the original post the deluxe car wash will be 50% off on the day. Deluxe = interior, exterior, windows, tyre, dry including door seals, etc, the works pretty much.

As per cut & polish, details, etc. I will be providing everyone attending a VIP card for V35's with a special discount on all services offered.

But definitely looking forward to the meet, hopefully it won't rain, hahahaha.

yeah, that would suck big having our cars washed only to be rained down a few mins later...

but if anyone doing a cut & polish that'll be the ultimate test as a good polish would cause the rainwater droplets to fall off the car like pearl droplets, leaving the car virtually 'dry'

So guys, less than two weeks to go now.

The list is as follows:

1. MILLOS; Pablo

2. RS73, Rianto

3. siu_loong_bao, Nelson (I may skip the long cruise to Mordialloc)

4. scorp; Sam

5. missV35; Fiona

6. xscape237; Brad

7. pw350GT; Yun

8. japav;......?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
