Here is a transcript from the current Speed Magazine (issue 0:07). I found it absolutely hilarious. They are all real names given to actual production models in Japan.

DAIHATSU

Rugged Field Sports Resin Top (1997 model): What, did they give these away on Survivor Africa or something?

D-Bag: Could stand for Douche-Bag or Dime-Bag, or something else far less appealing than a tea bag.

Town Cube (an esky on wheels): A people mover and Rubik’s puzzle all wrapped up in one.

HONDA

Acty Crawler (a six wheel truck with tank-like treads: It'll clean your swimming pool in three hours all by itself.

Joy-Machine: Sex on wheels. Available in five-speed manual, four-speed auto and three-speed vibrate.

ISUZU

Big horn (1993 4WD): Either a tribute to jazz great Miles Davis or porn legend John Holmes. We're not sure.

Mysterious Utility Wizard (Current short-wheelbase Rodeo 4WD): Gandalf's transport in the upcoming film son of rajab of the Circle Work.

Giga 20 Light Dump: Standard specs include vanity mirrors, four cup holders and a toilet paper dispenser.

MITUBISHI

Pajero: What's weird about that? It translates directly to "mastabator" in Spanish.

Canter Guts (current Canter truck): The toughest ride for the blue singlet set. Imagine the tradie TV ads for this one.

Aero Queen (1990s tour coach): The bus of choise for those priscilla desert road trips - or Bronski Beat tours.

Delica Space Gear Cruising Active (1990s 4WD van): The hippie Kombi of the '90s. Availale in tie-dye. Frequently seen in the car park at Gratefull Dead concerts.

MUM 500 Shall We Join Us? (1993 micro car - and yes, the question is part of the name): Sounds like a dinning table on wheels with an optional dishwasher.

Mini Active Urban Sandal: Also comes in Ugh boot and Thong spec.

Liberto RVR Super Wild Gear: Redefines the term "dealer special". Usually seen parked next to tie-dyed Delica Space Gear Cruising Actives at Gratefull Dead concerts.

MAZDA

Carol (1962 KEI micro car): "On the first day of Cristmas my Mazda gave to me..."

Autozam Carol (1989 model based on the Suzuki Alto): "Autozam the red-nosed reindeer..."

Luce (1974 Japan-only RX-4): Pronounced "loose". Costs $100 for half and hour, or $150 for the full hour.

Luce Regard (1978 Crown-style model): "What's that you're driving tonight buddy?" "My sisters Luce." "So, the rumours are true!"

Bongo Brawny (current commercial van): It's named after a croc wrestler from the Northern Teritory, Bob Marley's old drummer or a new character on Bob the Builder - we're not exactly sure.

LaPuta (current KEI-class micro car): The shit. And you can take that whichever way you like.

NISSAN

Cedric 300LV VIP (current luxury sedan): Comes with a sherry dispenser for those long trips to the opera.

Gloria GranTurismo 300 Ultima-Z (current luxury sedan): The choice of hairdressers throughout Japan.

Leopard J Ferie: The drummer from Leopard Ferie's only got one arm!

Prairie Joy (curent people mover): Heart-warmingly bland van adored by Yanks named Billy Jo Jim Bob, Sue Ellen, etc.

Big Thumb Harmonized Truck (current semitrailer): The new album from Silverchair.

SUBARU

Justy (current Swift GTi look-alike): Rusty, Busty and Dusty lost out after poor feedback during market research.

Gravel Express (Japanese limited-edition WRX wagon): The hip new rally ****tail made from sake, vodka and soil.

SUZUKI

Alto Afternoon Tea (KEI-class micro car): Replaces the short-lived Alto Smoko.

Van Van (not a van at all, but a 1970 125cc motorbike): What what? Go figure figure.

Every Joy Pop Turbo: Named after an unreleased Spandau Ballet album.

TOYOTA

Synus: Sniff! Well, it sure beats Syphilis as a name.

Estima Lucida G Luxury Joyful Canopy: Shorter than Mitsubishi Ralliart Lancer Evolution VI Tommi Makinen Limited Edition, yet much dumber.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
