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 :)

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
