lets hear it for biased polls!

and i agree with the sticker thing. if the guy wants to advertise things that may or may not be in his car it's up to him. he obviously has more money than sense and deserves everything he gets! including random beatings from stop light warriors!

:(

good luck on your quest gradenko ;)

I would like to Pose a question.

Is a non turbo R33 with A GTR kit rice? I am honestly unsure. where can you draw the line on this one

A non turbo charged car acting like it is a turbo charged car!?

"DUDE!..... It's A Lama" - From the movie - Dude, wheres my skyline?

Yep sure is

Doesnt improve performance of car and cost u time and money.

And y the hell would u buy a gts anyway??? they are heavy and underpowered y not get a decent n/a car instead? IMHO this is once again just for show. I wont go as far as to say every gts owner is a ricer but i did think it at one time. :(

Note: dont shoot me down that what the thread is for:)

it's a whole new realm, these people are beyond words :lol:

Macka,

you are a discrace to us and the world of skylines... HOWEVER seeing that you will soon have more output than a standard GTR maybe we could excuse you..... just this once:burnout:

Yeah i kind of agree with Boostzor on that trying to pass a non turbo as a turbo... ok then my next question... A GTST with a GTR kit.... single turbo trying to pass as a twin turbo... *GASP* i can hear some of you guys hyperventilating already... calm down fellas on this question...it's just a question....look forward to responses however!:uh-huh:

Definately rice.

What im trying to get at is "whats the point?" if u want looks get a BMW or some other poser mobile. If u want a performance car y bother working on the outside when the inside is where it counts.

I have noticed that i get more look form the ladies when i am driving the Jeep Wrangler then i do when im driving my car and thats a good thing. If i had neons and "im a ricer" written all over it i would prolly get the looks up the wazzoo.

My point is this: U dont see ppl buying ferraris and stickin wings and stuff all over em because they are built to perform while stock. The 'line is top of its class and u dont need any of that crap on the outside as it provides absolutley no benefit at all to ure performance.

Friend of mine (commodore goon at heart) was at the hat cruz the other nite. He said and i quote "man so many of those cars are covered in stickers and stuff i reckon Gradenko is the classiest lookin of the lot"

Now while i dont nessacarily agree with that, seeing as i barely even notice the outside of a car and believe it whats inside that counts, it provides a good insight of what ure average goon thinks.

A GTST with a GTR kit....

I guess if someone felt the need for fibreglass, a gtr kit is a good, if not better, than any of the others. The gtr kit doesn't look odd or out of place on a skyline (esp r32s), unlike some of the more fancy jap namebrand ones.

aw11, I started this topic to discount the pathetic defence ricers fallback onto time after time - "to each their own". And i especially wanted to target skyline ricers. Lets not involve other cars into this.

If we make 'line ricing as socially unacceptable as drink driving is, I, for one, would be a lot more happy. "If you rice, and then drive, you're a bloody idiot".

But if u rice and then brag ure an even bigger idiot:lol:

Ahh yeh i am. The only exception is the M's, now that is a car:drooling:

U gotta admit for that price range u can do alot better but ppl buy em cause they have a reputation of class. Which is fair enuff if ure 50 and use it as an a-b but if ure 20 and drive a 318i ure just a plain old fashioned poser.

I just don't see what the big deal is about rice

if the guy can beat you in a race, then you can't accuse him of being a riceboy since

a) he beat you

B) you were beaten by a riceboy (not something to brag about!) :cool:

a gtst with gtr kit is not rice

a gtst with gtr kit and gtr badging IS rice :uh-huh:

r33_cam's neons are not rice

they are...effects, and I must admit after seeing them that they look good

I don't sticker my car since I don't like giving randoms who pull up next to you on the streets a full run-down of my engine accessories :burnout:

tint isn't rice, I have tint, everyone has tint, tint doesn't make your car go faster

camber is rice on certain cars, but we don't have to worry about being accused of it since we don't drive stock excels etc

as with exhausts etc, depends on whether the car requires that particular degree of camber/exhaust width/bov volume jimi :lol:/excessively large gt-wings etc etc

essentially and as said many a time before, if you put time and money into something which gives the impression of the car going faster than it actually does, then they are rice

if they beat you then you'd be an idiot to accuse them of being a rice-boy :)

but in any case it all boils down to fact that the person owns a car, it is his property and can therefore do whatever he wants to do with it

sorry for the long-winded message, but this topic bores me endlessly :)

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
