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.

    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
