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 :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
