not to mention... a chef worth his salt will buy entire cuts and break them down himself which means he has a wide variety of choices to give you

take a ribeye for example.

so you clean up the whole thing and portion it. as the you go along the rib the steaks get progressively tougher and leaner.

so what happens is the shitty fat free tough as old boots ones get put in their own special pile for well done steaks and rude customer (or those that come in at close) then the chef has his little collections of the remainder with varying marbling, sinews etc.

you order the correct doneness and he will get one of the better ones.

you tell the waiter to "just let the chef cook it" they will go straight to the "piece de resistance"

Because ultimately, "rare" is subjective.

The guy doesn't know you, he only knows the 99% of other people that have come through and asked for "rare"

The only way you could ever really get it right, is if you go to a place and either

a) Luck out
b) go there enough times that you know what a baseline is for how they cook their meat

Same applies to "spicy" too

easy. bring me a steak. make it rare.

simple. could be f**king 4 inch thick or half inch. i want it rare. simple as fark.

every other flamin mongrel in the world at top restaurants can do it. why is it so hard in australia.

because a rare ribeye / scotch fillet for example is pure shit. it has fat that hasn't broken down and tastes like ass

a rare eye fillet is great on the other hand

Sure there are in betweens, but you're not gonna whinge about a shade lighter or darker as long as it's closer to what you want.

should have been more specific there.

f**kING RARE.

I DONT GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK.

f**kING RARE.

chicken pork beef snail horse pigeon rabbit human.

rare. because thats what i asked for. and because your job is to cook food for me how i ask for it.

(i seem to have some hang ups about the quality of chef in this country hamish, this in way states i think your shite, im sure your a lovely chef, and that you trained at the fluer del loo de laeeuriruf french word and you meat is magnificent)

however of the 100 plus steaks ive eaten in this country about 2 have been cooked rare... and most have been shite. sure 90% of these restraunts where not "hipster class" but still give the people what they ask for man.

rant over.

Working as a chef is a capital loss, so that's really quite irrelevant Tony

Dividends are on revenue account so would be still relevant :P

That's my Accounting 101 for the day

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
    • For anyone who might be put off by the slightly wacky wheel offset shown on the box photo above, the production models are not like that. Here's some more pics of the actual product (as well as the interior)
