5 votes all. It's a close one.

I reckon people who vote, but then don't come to the dinner shouldn't be allowed to vote for 2 months...

:werd:

How come we always have like 15 voters and 5 people at dinner? :(

We'll make these polls open from next month onwards, so we can keep track of who votes and then pulls a no-show :kick:

BAN!

Lane Cove is so so much better than R&R!! Great prices, large servings, plenty of parking, great service and most importantly the meat is EXCELLENT!

I just find that R&R is a little on the pricey side for the service and quality you get!

You won't be disappointed defecting to the Lane Cove River Steakhouse contingent! :(

Lane Cove Steakhouse's steaks are............ meh. Nothing special. They're just like the big-ass $5 steaks you get in any pub. Size isn't everything. They aren't good cuts of meat, and the two times I've been there, they've been cooked tough and chewy.

R&R may be expensive, and the service appalling, but the steaks are excellent quality, perfectly cooked, juicy and tender.

WERD UP MY N1GGA.

R+R's steak is tha shizzle, but comes at a price.

Lane cove is not bad. the time we went there for SAU dinner it was really quite good. I went back not long after that and it (the steak) was below par. not the greatest cut, and not expertly cooked.

if we are going to go steak I say we go the whole hog and do R+R. on the other hand, LCR SH is ok by me too, just not my first pref.

EDIT: f**k I'm getting hungry for a steak right now...

mmmm Steak :wassup:

I have been to R+R about 10x in Manly and 5x in Gordon in the past 3 years.

I agree with Andrew, they are a top steak house....but they are expensive, not BYO, service is average (in Manly) and the parking sux at both locations.

I have only been to LCR SH twice and they were what I would expect for the price. They are not unreal, but the food and service is good.

If I had my choice we would be always going to Thai Orchid....cheap and tasty with great parking:wassup:

Come on Mal!!!

You can't keep going to the same restaurants, no matter how good they are. Lets branch out and try some new things. We should limit Thai Orchid to 3 visits a year. That's once every 4 months. I would suggest only twice a year, but I'd probably be gunned down by all the TO-fanatics in the crowd :rofl:

Remember that we only get 12 monthly dinners a year, so lets diversify our restaurant selection :) There's no need to keep going to the same ones surely! Malabar was an excellent recommendation, lets keep the variety coming!

And in aid of this new-found adventurousness, does anyone know of any other GOOD steakhouses other than LCRSH and R&R?

oh fcuk yes...............

I was looking for that pic you had of it to post up again, but can't find it? I'd swear you posted it up in the TAS pics thread?

yeah I think 3 times to TO would be enough.

I reckon after this months steak expedition we do Jap next. Teppanyaki :rofl: or, would could try the new branch of Makoto. For those that don't know Makoto is like an upmarket version of sushi train. it's on liverpool st in the city but they've now opened in chatswoo. I am partial to teppanyaki though...

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.
    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
