Has anyone else noticed this trend? Apparently it can be three different things:

- in Japan it's meant to be a subtle way of letting people know that you're up for a race

- in Thailand/Korea it supposedly keeps evil spirits away so you don't have an accident

- in Australia it means you are the illest fatlace stance hellaflush ever???

I've seen a fourby with a pair of balls hanging of the back... That was interesting. I think Cadmoon is looking for an Anchor for his R33 :P

A stocking and 2 tennis balls does the trick! We did it to a mates hilux :laugh:

It was a bit of a thing in the club for a while. Benno found a Mario from Maccas while out at a meet, I found a big bird at a race meet in Goulburn, Noel found a stress ball style brick. After that everyone was trying to find something. I still have mine as a homage to god days gone by!

I've had mates do this, I at one point had an ace of spades playing card hung from mine... I have no idea why.

Common ones I've seen around the place: angry birds, subway hangers, pokemon, slenderman, I saw on the other day which was just a bunch of Zipties with another Ziptie around it.

Drift culture, it confuses me.

A few years ago, at least in the Qld community, it was something that was found or given to you that could be hung from the tow hook. If we saw anyone with something they bought specifically to put on the hook they were flamed. I found a tiny surfboard in the gutter outside Revhead's house and it was on there until it broke. I now have a Dora doll that my 3 year old daughter insisted go on there after she saw others at last years SAU Charity Cruise.

Yes, it is is kinda silly, but who cares really??? And I won't disappoint my daughter...

It is a Japanese trend to have a hang ring from a train on your tow hook, designed to show that if you had the ring just touching the ground, you car was low enough to be cool.

before imports (no tow bar), it was children's plastic toys shoved on tow ball with their arse holes.....

replaced the ol' tennis ball.

I admit I used to have this "not the mama" cause my kids loved it !

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
