Bugger the Sushi...lets just go drink some JDM beer! :/

http://www.robotsushi.com/visual.aspx

Also there is very nice Sushi place just of Toorak rd, in South Yarra. Pricey, but very nicey!

Oh and quick lesson of Asahi....

This is Asahi

Asahi-33-cl-799614.jpg

Notice the 2 black Japanese symbols in the middle of the bottle.... don;'t drink this stuff! It's not brewed in Japan, usually in Oz it's from Thailand or even the UK.

This is the Asahi you want!

Notice the 1 black Japanese symbol in the middle of the bottle/can (the symbol means 'Draft')... this is the stuff you want. :)

Oh and if you want JDM Kirins, the cellar on Acland st, St Kilda and the JDM grocery market behind the KFC on Chapel st has em. In cans of 500ml goodness :)

Haha dude, try finding Japan brewed Asahi here. Near impossible. All Aus stuff is Thai brewed :)

Yep. Made in Thailand or UK.

I've only had the Japanese stuff at a place called "Teppensan" on Russell St.

I'm feeling a Sushi meet coming on, I get my new car this month. I'll organise one early December! :)

Make sure it's unofficial so I can come :D

I haven't been to an SAU meet in quite a while.

went to a nice cosy downstairs place on little burke near exhibition street the other night :)

nihonbashizen

Looks very pricey too.

I use to goto Yoyogi Cafe

211-213 Swanston St

Melbourne VIC 3000

Phone (03) 9663 7266

Service, food and price were all very good.

Loved Ishiya Japanese Stonegrill when I went there this year for my birthday: http://www.ishiyastonegrill.com.au/

It's on Little Bourke Street. I had the Wagyu stonegrill, myself and my partner were a little over $150 together with drinks, so not cheap, but bloody worth it.

For reasonably priced Japanese, Sapporo next to Mitcham station is fantastic: http://maps.google.com.au/maps/place?sourc...346253128765221

there was a tiny sushi shop on whitehorse rd near mitcham station, used to make up decent handrolls fresh

Well guys, I'm going to J's Surf & Turf in Brighton tomorrow night for dinner (all you can eat)!

$28 per person, and you can get half a dozen of fresh raw oysters per person :)

It seems like it's gonna be packed, I was just lucky to get a booking for tomorrow night at 8, but all the other times are pretty much booked out.

So I'll let you guys know how it goes :blush:

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
