..this is what I've been told, the regulars get good food.

Shouldn't they look after every customer ???

Yes they should or its descrimination IMO.

There is a lot of types of Chinese dishes not just fried rice, lemon chicken and dim sums... LOL!

So lets say your Asian they probley give you the menu with more 'Traditional' dishes and if your Western they give you the menu with a more Westernised/Asian dishes / flavours.

But hey, if you know what your ordering and know of many traditional Asian dishes, then go right ahead and order it and they will give it to you. They probley be quite suprised if you did know and more than happy to prepare and serve it to you.

For example there is a fish dish where it is deep fried fillets in batter mixed with a sweet corn soup type of sauce, I guess that would be more appealing to Western customers as opposed to an entire steamed fish where the head, tail, and bones are left and you pick the meat off, dip it in soya sauce and eat it would be a more traditional dish.

Yes Iam serious, we Asian steam a whole fish and eat the meat out of the cheeks / head and there is a bit of meat towards the end before the tail. LMAO!!!

But I have seen western ppl order and eat the same dish. So if you know what you want just order it and they give it to you.

you gotta be a regular to appreciate it.

whenever i walk in the dude's already written down pork ribs with spicy salt and mixed fried rice on his piece of paper. and the food... well at 3am nothing tastes better.

Its not the best food, and to be honest if you're a Evo driving yuppie you'll never come back once you've eaten there... and it's probably better kept that way too. But for a night with the lads its a decent meal, and a good setting for a fortnightly catchup.

Anything tastes good @ 3am :D

But we just went in there, ordered, it was average.

I could name a dozen places in the CBD as i eat Asian about 3-4 times a week that are all better than RK :D

Agree 100%

It doesnt claim to be the best restaurant in Melbourne. Its not aiming at the elite clientele, and doesnt boast how good its sevice is.

What it does do is offer a decent feed for a fair price. I know that each time i go there, I get a seat, my Chinese tea and a BBQ Pork on Rice for like $8.50. I have never had a bad meal there, but i dont expect it to be absolutely the most amazing meal ever either!

When i recommend it, its because its BYO, you can get a table for 12 people and you can have a good feed for under $20 per head

      Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana 路 Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 馃槄

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu 路 Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 馃珷

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus 路 Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
