I have had a request to delete all references to "Rice" that have f*cked up an otherwise brilliant thread.

First and last warning guys...

Remember: the more you argue about Rice in the Japan Forum, the smaller your pen!s gets...

As far as I'm concerned a "Ricey Car" is a 1.5 Carby 4 door Lancer with an Evo 4 kit and Altezzas on 13" Black steelies.

That Yashio 15 was one of the nicest turned out cars at the Salon - my favourite of the show - if I remember correctly they quoted a "street trim" 400hp from it - more than enough to take care of 99% of Rexes.

In the words of the immortal Eazy E - "I can afford to laff cos I'm backing it up" - If a car has enough grunt then it can have a bit of rice.

My 14 will be bagged and riced to the hilt - but it will have 300rwhp and be sub 5 to 100 capable - is that OK?

Top pics Blitz - We're processing the 7 or 800 remaining pics - we've only got 165 of Race Queens tho...

There was 1 DR30 on display DaiOni - The Tomica DR30 Touring Car was on display on the Bridgestone/Nismo stand in the carpark on the far side of Makuhari. There's a pic of it in one of our galleries.

We actually stumbled across that bit of the show by accident while we were looking around the side streets for cool cars. We actually found last years G Corp Sileighty parked along the canal.

    • Couldn't help but share the pics of my $350 "Hella" oil level sensor that arrived from totalengines via eBay today. It's like they're not even trying anymore ... And I think that's sad. 
    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.
