Ok at the moment my 'line is dead stock in terms of rice.... and by spending as little as possible, I want to give it that "Japanese" look. I'm not after "pure rice" and I don't want to cover the car in stickers, I just want something to give it a little extra street credit :headbang:

All the skylines in Japan that I see on the net look kind of different from the ones you see here, so what do they do that we don't?

I have so far thought of the following:

- super dark tinting

- jap brand body kit (too expensive for me though)

Got any suggestions?

Have stickers like...

"Street RACING"

"GOOD ROAD"

"MUFFLER"

"FAST CAR"

"THUMBS UP" etc..etc.

These are actually cover the JAP cars I've seen on Videos...1st time I saw them I scratched my head for while?!?!?:(

or for the true Jap ricey car cover your half windscreen with the stickers that does not make sense...

me two cents

cheers

actually... i think i saw a copy of the bronze RAYS on a black my02 wrx... it was in hot4s... would be alot cheaper than the original.

nissaner what do the ones u mean look like?

if u want "street cred" as u put it... how about doing some power mods rather than making it look like a tiger when its really a kitten

ROFL i agree, so many ppl make it look hot when its a stock dog box "NO Offence m8" engine mods would be a better mod i reckon than poxy stickers. Or u could always go buy a FORD or a LEYLAND, HAHAH ROFL

-- get some fullsik neons

-- get some mugen stickers and maybe a 'vtec inside' sticker

-- get a doof doof system

You forgot a "type-r" sticker, one of those fake blow off valves for N/A cars, fake fuel filler, oh and of course the 'sik' wheel lights :(

I don't want rice!!!

I just want to make it look more 'oriental'....LOL I don't think some people understand what I mean by that

I like the cup holder in the air vent idea, you see that on heaps of jap cars!!

whack on stickers like..

' super fun turismo movement'

'racing dream flow power '

and crap like that. hehe :-)

but if you want real street cred.. put a cage in it!

NOBODY runs me unless i initiate it and she's a bog stock 32 enginewise so theyll most probably blow me away. The best thing is she handles like a dream :(

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
