lol nah nah nah...

Who/What Exactly Is a Rice-Boy?Rice-Boy is a stereotype. The typical Rice-Boy can be identified by his car, or rather what he does to it. Generally, Rice-Boy will start out with a car that was not meant to go fast (typically a Honda Civic), and attempt to "fix it up," usually consisting of aftermarket rims, lowering springs and an aftermarket exhaust system with a large exhaust tip.

Most Rice-Boy cars (or "Rice Rockets") have the usual complement of stickers proudly displaying features that the car might or might not have, most notably, the Honda VTEC sticker from the later model Preludes, and the plaques from the later model Integras.

Rice-Boys do not exclusively drive Japanese cars. There are quite a few fake Mustang '5.0's and Camaro Z28's out there, as well as quite a few strange looking Neons.

best turbo brand?? LOL u really need to look into things more :D ... did u know all those turbos are from the same manufacturer?? just the specs are slightly different for each brand and thats where they make their money ... the manufacturers each has their own specs... therefore obviously the more expensive ... usually the better the spec ...

ahahaha anthonyK1 not 2 be a dick or anything (cuz i know how it feels as alot of people laught at me when i said i was getting a gts-t when i was 16)

But a gtr isn't going 2 be cheap to run and also insruance will be a ****ing killer, you will find that only one place will touch you JUST CARS (as only they would touch me and i only got a gts-t) and the cost for full cover was $4000 a yr for a gtr it would be like $6000 a yr me thinks

all i got 2 say is do some reasoure.

Yeah you can buy a r33 GTR V-spec II for like $40 to $50 and yeah it is all good condtion but then you got to add insruacne + fuel (my gts-t kills me on fuel if you boost her up) + putting some money 2side for fixing stuff and replacment of brake pads ect ect.

It isnt always that cheap

$6000 a year for insruance (could be more)

+

$50 a week of fuel (i use about $40 a week Gtr = TT, GTS-T = T so just ruff guess)

+

$100 a week for just repaires and just wear and tread of the car

+

$200 a week for mods (bodykits arnt cheap)

just tring 2 help

no dis-respect to you but i find that if you don't pay for it you dont have the same respect for it (no matter wat it is)

I find that i will not do stuiped shit in my car (like speed, drag, burnouts) becuase the car cost me alot of money and it will cost alot of moeny to fix it, if it gets damage and i dont wanna damage it as i respect it 2 much.

ahh but maybe im just old-fasion

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
