lol nice thread.

this is what i think a ricer is, feel free to correct/add to it.

a ricer is a driver who puts on 'unneccassary mods'.

for eg. a GT wing on a lancer. even when a wing doesnt come into play until above 150km/h.

a ricer is also a person who knows nothing about cars and acts like they do giving advice.

here is a ricer

ok so "the pulley pulls the turbo making it spool the drizzle?"

That is just disturbing. How can anyone be that stupid?

BTW, I'm installing a new 100hp pulley onto my turbo tomorrow...

My opinion of it. Is "wannabe" cars. Where the modifications attempt to make the car into something else. i.e gts's with gtr kits and badging. Fake Evo kits, Type R badging. Shopping lists, T- Wing spoilers on cars that never see the track, bonnet scoops that lead to nothing (dont assist cooling/intake), chrome hubcaps, exterior neon/led lighting on a car that ever see's a carshow, fake brakes, Atmo BOV's on non extreme cars, etc.

Every modified car is different, some look cheap and tacky with there exterior mods (rice) some look awesome (my opinion saying that these become not rice and reaching into other catergories in the car scene.)

Anything pretty

Anything that doesn't contribute to the performance of the car

The most common one is rice lights. They're everywhere, vans, utes (sorry mini trucks) excels.

Aftermarket gear knob, definitely rice. Whats wrong with the stocker? If it falls apart and starts cutting up your hand, fair enough.

Most of the wheels on the market, rice. I'm willing to accept my 17x9.5 +15 NS01's are rice. They are my street rims and are only there to look pretty. My track rims are mis matched second hand pieces of crap that i don't care about so i can repair with a hammer if necessary

Big stereo, rice, on a few levels that i won't go into

tints, rice. wear sunglasses and park in the shade. save that 25 grams in added weight.

spoilers of any description are generally rice. Most do nothing to improve the performance of the car. A spoiler on a factory car, factory rice. A spoiler on a car that never sees the track, just rice.

big brakes with alloy hats and mono block calipers can be rice in certain situations. If the car never gets driven hard whats the point of having them other than because they look tough as hell?

When ever you can see that form is being placed ahead of function you can reasonably call it rice.

My friends and i all track our cars and are fairly serious about it. We have a pretty harsh definition of rice.

There is a difference between tacky or stupid and nice looking cars. Go to a car show, a lot of the cars there have very little in the way of performance mods, but they look good. The owners know what is classy and nice and what is just down right discusting. GT-R badges on a stock GTS is just wrong. Type-R badges as well. Neons on a stock Gemini (The lights are worth more than the car!) or LED wheel nuts are a big no-no. I think there is two meanings of Rice. Rice as in crappy modified cars that only look good to the eyes of the owners (A face only a mother could love??) and then there is Rice, which is us. And Cruisin33 has kindly volunteered to remind everyone of that. Thanks Dave, we all appreciate it!

now, isnt it a bit shortsighted to class a car from where it comes from?

I agree, just like saying every Commodore driver is a bogan. There are some very nice commodores out there, and some are very ricey! Like one I've seen near my house, white VX with a black roof, panda style! It looked discusting and I nearly threw up.

THAT is rice!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
