im never gonna forget that damo ditched the dori teks to rock them at auto salon last year i think it was.

hahaha

They were different size rims. Skyline had 18x8's, i lent Damo my ute rims 19x8 front and 20x9 rear.

A lot of ppl here are using the term "JDM"..... Do ppl actually understand what it means? My mum's corolla is more "JDM" than most imports. I'm sick of ppl seeing a kitted import with big rims etc and then saying crap like " Sweet ride man, thats so JDM"

"JDM" STANDS FOR ANY CAR RELEASED IN THE JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET, IN ITS STANDARD FORM.

A BMW or Audi when sold off the showroom floor in Japan is "JDM" As it has been made to comply with Japanese standards before being sold and is therefore "jap spec"

In point of fact, for any car that has been modified you could say that its no longer "JDM"

Unfortunately the term jdm has been picked up by guys in their late teens and early 20's over the past five years to describe fully modified, "fully sick" imports and more and more is being used in the wrong context.

just some fuel for further discussion.

well technically fitting aftermarket parts manufactured for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), to a car built for the JDM, would mean it looks JDM.

its just a work people relate to a certain style, it implies that style.

for example calling someone a dickhead implies that they are an idiot, not necessarily that they have a male penis on there forehead.

as opposed to a female penis?

:D

next we move to the term "RICE" the old meaning, a term used by bogans when talking about any japanese car

recent meaning movement towards any modifications that do not make a car go faster. however there seems to be some grey areas with that. is tinting your car windows rice? getting nice non crome looking rims? installing a stereo etc?

DISCUSS :banana: o wait this isnt the wasteland

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
