You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

hmm worth a try one of these days.

then again, looking at the menu, i'm suddenly not interested anymore. LOL.

Cause it doesn't have dog on it?

And for hot food, you could try ash's recommendation, in fact, i will eventually go there to check it out, but i'm in no hurry.

Their Sushi/Sashimi IMO is some of the best I've ever had in Melb. I usually go there for the cold dishes, not the hot ones.

Tookaiya special gets ordered every single time. Sakura Salmon rolls as well... Mint.

(I eat out a LOT :))

Also you can try Izakaya Den in Melb CBD for some more upbeat/contemporary style Jap - some great Imported beers to choose from in there as well. Must book though, the place is ALWAYS crazy busy even on a Wed night

Whoaa. Really? I've gone past that place by bus for 6 years going to school, always thought it was some average place like all the other asian restaurants on kroad.

Nope definitely not average. The owners (husband/wife) split semi recently and the wife still runs it. They also had another place in Moonee Ponds somewhere under a different name and was smaller, i believe he runs that :)

Rode in my mates 360kw xr6 and then I jumped into a mate's 200kw EVO 8.

Xr6 was crazy quick, its a three speed trimatic and pretty much fried tyres in every gear. Quick but felt sluggish. EVO felt faster lol, is it the weight and torque?

EVO's have a very short 1st through 3rd, so their acceleration is lightning quick, hence they are so fast for a streeter really

i tried rabbit once, had some funky textured skin, was done in a stew. would never order that again,

snakes, and crocs and frogs are great though, neutral flavour. but pythons can be a little stringy,

monitor lizard is alright too, had some soup made from that.

wild duck's alright. not stinky like roo or lamb.

so if i were to try dog/cat, it'd only be to find out how it tastes, that's all. not a huge gastronome when it comes to obscure exotic meats.

Tookaiya - Keilor Rd. Been going there regularly for 7-8 years.

I've been to places like Nobu, Koko etc etc... And they are really good as well... However for the price, you will not find better that Tookaiya as it's not a fancy joint, just good quality traditional style. Massive thumbs up.

Not too far either, will have to give it a go. I'm more interested in what I'm assuming are the more boring dishes, chicken and rice based dishes...He's been there 2 days and already had chicken gut skewers (whatever the f**k they are) and some other strange shit...

And I eat rabbit all the time, doesn't taste gamey at all imo

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
