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.

      I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
