We'll try and organise one further away from our comfort zone next time :) I wonder if that will persuade any other SAU'ers from out West to come though... I somehow doubt it sad2.gif

andrew, you sound as though the people who are reading this all live north? from the way im reading it, maybe if you "toned it down" a little people from the west would be more encouraged to attend? instead, it sounds as though its a "northerners" only club ......... ? or maybe im reading it the wrong way?

kel, don't you live just as far to parramatta as to north sydney? why are you mocking the distance to the west from where you are? :)

in any case, i enjoy monthly dinners. great people and great environment...well the last 2 were anyway because they were close to home :(

i dont mind north sydney, i dont mind west sydney. i think we should do a "world tour of foods"....we should travel through all of asia (going from my last 2 experiences), then europe, etc etc.... just to have a theme :(

since were still in asia, i suggest the next stop be nepal. "yak & yeti" is an authentic napelese restuarant in glebe on glebe point road. cosy atmosphere and gorgeous food. rated very highly on the good food guide and is personally owned by my napelese friends parents.

in any case, i'll go with the crowd ;)

Parramatta is only 25km from Lane Cove.

I'm with Frank. I drive from Epping to Cabramatta-land and it's no big deal. I drive to Mascot to meet friends and stuff.

If you're willing to drive to Castle Hill, Artarmon, Silverwater, Smithfield for car things, why not drive a reasonable distance for a night out ONCE A MONTH!

T.

We need suggestions for places outside of the northshore

the reason I can see why it's been centred on the north is that those of us who are organising it live this way and know the restaurants.

I would LOVE to go to leichardt though one night for Italian :D mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i'll suggest another one then :D

RIO'S on parrammatta rd stanmore! from what i've seen from the outside they have these brazilian dancers with traditional brazilian clothes -> read skimpy!

it looks like an awesome night out :D :D :(

I've been there Franks - no good. We did have a sexy waitress but that was the only saving grace.

hey franks, I'd love to go elsewhere and get new ppl along (and hopefully keep the current ones!)....post up something for the June dinner and we'll start whipping up a crowd...and hopefully more of the westsiders will come along too :D

    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
