would include chrome.. chrome and well some chrome.. did i mention some chrome?

generally ricer bays are regarded as the ones with the painted engine. chrome everything.. wires all hidden.. everythings done for show

Since when is having a nicely detailed engine bay a bad thing?

Fair enough you can go a bit overboard with chrome, but even then it can still look very nice. Dahtone's engine bay comes to mind in looking incredible with a lot of polished parts.

Lol about a TV screen though.

Don't think it's a bad thing.. I think there are the 'sleeper' guys who go for the "what mods does it have officer.. it's just stock" look.. Dahtone was gonna be my example.. Looks great..

+1 thats me..

althought i've been pulled over once 'randomly'.. its a wagon FFS

Ricer, by definition of the typical owner, requires the vehicle be fitted with:

-Pod filter, not mounted or enclosed

-Fluro green ICE 16mm ignition leads, stock coil lead

-Anodised oil filler cap

-At least 2 cable ties without the ends cut-off

-At least 1 engine component that has been sprayed with trevs "metallic" paint without cleaning or removing said component from the engine bay

-Stickers on the radiator support to advertise said Anodised filler cap

Optional accessories:

-A bottle of "NOS" fuel additive kept in the engine bay for your next top-up

-Un-fused see-through-red 4ga wire running from the battery through a hole cut in the firewall with a butter-knife

LOL, but even N/A's need their vacuum pressure monitoring right?

BTW I think you're lying and have never seen that. ;)

Pics or not true.

not a ricer, but thats the only type of engine bay i can think of that looks daaamn clean

Not a big fan of 'dubber' engine bays. I mean they look good but it's all smoke and mirrors with the wires and everything tucked out of view. Actually working on the car and troubleshooting would be a bitch and so for me it's the ultimate 'show' look. Real cars otoh are made to be USED.

Clean and tidy engine bays isn't RICE.

To me, R.I.C.E. stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements..

So things like, pod filters, big gay atmo bov's, coil covers with stupid logos/designs, painting everything up when it's all stock componentry etc.

I think R.I.C.E. is more generally found on the outside of a vehicle.. bigass wings, shopping lists, 6" cannons on 2" pipes, neons, graphics etc.

rice engine bay = you pop the bonnet and every single thing screams "look at me!!!" whether it is a performance mod or something normal made to look like it is a performance mod, such as an anodised oil filler cap. basically when standard items have been replaced with something brightly coloured for no apparent reason

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
