I cant believe everyone here is so against stickers! yeah i agree maybe the fast and furious thing has been overdone a bit now as Judged said but really is it so bad to have a car that looks nice! it may look rice or wateva but i think if you like it then do it! I just dont understand wats so bad about stickers unless your falsely advertising products you dont have!:P

Do I really have to answer this? :P Most ppl already know my opinion on this and theres not much point starting another big bun fight.

For the record: If we lose a thousand to gain fifty like us, then its worth it. (All IMHO. I have no real say in the matter, its just my opinion).

I personally like the stickers.. if the car warrants it. I see various cars with a shopping list down the side without the mods its anoying..

I have 3. Street Force(did my tuning), Genie(did my exhaust), Enjo(i work for them).

no more no less.. if i could be assed and get JUN to do my custom cam i'd have a JUN sticker too :P

Hmmm

I'm a little confused.

Stickers = rice

according to some people here.

Does that make the touring cars and rally cars rice ?

I think not.

Stickers on something that has the balls to back it up is OK , imho.

Stickers for stickers sake ie. Garrett on a N/A lancer or something similar = rice.

I don't mind the odd tastefully done sticker but having the whole car emblazoned , especially for a daily driver is probably a little over the top.

But hell as someone said , whatever floats your boat.

I'm sure when some bright person came up with candyapple paint in the 50's , they thought he was a tosser as well....

GUYS,

Sounds like it has gotten out of hand. The main reason for me was there are a lot of liners out there now and i wanted to stand out in the crowd. I wanted to be different so I placed some decals on the car, the theme was F&F. The car was also a show car and the look made people come and view my car a lot closer than they normally would. Reading what people have to say here has reminded me why I did the decals. I love people looking at my car, turning their heads around for another look as I went by, people would come up and say g'day and say it looked great, than made me happy and put a smile on their faces. If it puts a different smile on other peoples face, I have achieved my outcome of making them smile.

KILLER - T

Thanks mate, I hope I can keep up with you now,(SEE YOU IN THE 12sec ZONE) :P

SHUTO-BOY

Thanks dude, but time for a change before PAS (stay tuned)

ZANDA,CAMPINPERTH

Thanks for your support

EVERYONE ELSE,

I respect your right for you have your own opinion, freedom of speech rox.

:jump:

judged,

Good to see a gtst in 12's. I wasn't aware what 60ft did ya get?

I think the sticker thing is always about 'free advertising'. Race cars get money for it.

Even in the V8 world we have our own version of 'rice'.

4cylinder escorts with twin 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes

as above with non functional hornet scoops.

NOS stickers (hello police)

and the list goes on.

As I said before I don't get anoyed I just laugh, me and my mates used to sticker up peices of puss we owned as a joke.

I jusyt have to tell yo guys something!

Last weekend whilst going down to Fremantle... a full pack of P plate Trevs... and I am talking the trev of trevs.....these guys were so trev that there babies come pre-born with mullets! where in a VB commodore.....

As they pull up next to me all i here is... "RICE" now i certainly don't consider my car to be rice... the only sticker i have is a VERY small RB sticker about 8cm's long... thats it nothing else... and i have eaten a few V8's which should lessen the rice factor aswell..... anyway there they were in all their Trevness screaming "RICE" i just ignored them in there VB $200 commo and as i drove off what do i see on it... those Blue Neon washer lights that go on where your water sprayers are to wash the windscreen! hahahah!! i couldn't beleive it! there they where saying "RICE" then they have blue neon light washers... the most riceyness thing on the marlow market!!..

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

Hmm maybe they were talking about their car and not mine!:uh-huh:

Trevs refer to any japaneses cars as rice.

i admit it i drive a commonwhore :P

its sad but true....its my first car so i don't give a **** i like what i have for the time being and it gets me where i need to go.

just can't wait for the day i drive away in my R32 GTR.....

Yeh my corrolla could do under 10 seconds if i put stickers all over it. Got some dumbass actors to put in it, film it in a creative light and then say "it does under 10 secs bro, it fully sic"

I havent seen fast and the furious yet but i feel safe in saying that it has no technical grounding at all.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
