You'll find that living in Australia, many Aussies call any Japanese car a "rice burner". Doesn't matter if it is stickered up or turbo'd, the fact that it was produced in Japan is enough to warrant it being called a "rice burner". This isn't a new thing, they were even doing it when my dad was at Uni.

"Rice" is generally considered to be anything that alludes to the car being quick, when it clearly is not. Ie. phat exhausts on a N/A car, fake intercoolers etc etc

Wow, is that truely your first encounter of being labled under the "ricey" banner???

get use to it!!! lol

I work 4 Holden - U can imagine the sh*t that I cop. I've got alot of friends with some very fast good ol' V8's - we always dissin' each others cars - all in good fun. theres soooooooooooo many comebacks for both groups of cars.

The rivalry has been there for years - & will always be there. makes things interesting

yeah Rice can be labelled as uneccssary mods that dont help performance ...... just look at uneekwahns car *stir, stir* :D

or Rice burner just a jap import car.

I called my friends Sigma rice once (he was trying to do it up) and he came back with "If mine Rice then you have an Industrial Sized Rice Burner" .... he made a good point i shut up LOL or you could have Holden parents like mine who go "Whats the jap crap doing under our driveway"

i liked it when i got my car, couple of mates go 'ahhh rice boy'

i was like - whats rice about my GTR

the GTR wheels?

the GTR body kit?

the GTR badges?

its pretty much stock - so it can't be rice, that shut them up

I think Jimih has hit the nail on the head here. Ive read many threads in the past about rice and i would say that was the best explaination ive heard yet.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
