Here we go boys and girls, the perfect opportunity to pay out on the clowns doing the block in your respective city.

What's your favourite (read the worst car) you see doing the block?

My favourites are.

A beige Corolla SE hatch, WRX scoop and bonnet vents, big 18"chromies, rowdy exhaust and a loud stereo. Yep, all those mods turn a granny car into a genuine performance car don't they! :wassup:

Any Excel with a body kit, particularly the ones with the big Cobra stripes!

Sorry kids but if you are going to throw money at a car why not start with a credible car to begin with?

The Alpine Excell from Launceston. It's got a mega huge Alpine sticker down each side of the car, the stickers down the door (blitz..etc) ,a 10" rice cannon, and a blindmans tacho.

We should take pics and make it a rice hunter thread (and by rice i mean any car with usless external mods)

Definitely da little turbo things buzzing round........lika da ET lasers.......I av seen dudes drivin deez rice burners man.......they fit da huge blow off valves to em........only problem iz dat they are so pathetically powerless dat they barely have enough a da pressure to open upa da blow off valves man!!!!!........soundza real poor man...real poor!!!!..............fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :wassup:

hmmmm i have an ET and dont run the BOV is that a problem for ya? 105kw atw with only 900kgs to haul about makes it pretty quick for a 21year old FWD car....and if u actually knew anything u wouldnt be sayin ET laser its actually a Nissan Pulsar not a ford or mazda

That excel with the alpine sticker is sik man its hell Fast ....bwahaahhahahahahahahaahhaahhahhahahahahahaaha he is always tryin to razz someone

just anything that p plater's think are race cars, don't mean to cop out on the p plater's but I swear they're just getting worse all the time...

I totally agree. As a p plater myself I wish to apologise on their behalf.

...Anyways...I always see this hyundai excel with a bonnet scoop and custom bodykit...what's even funnier is that it has a baby capsule in it. Oh and I know a guy with a non-turbo silvia which has a bodykit with normal rims and exhaust...looks so lame...and non-turbo supras which have huge exhausts....it's like trying to sugarcoat shit and trying to claim it as chocolate

got to love all the all show no go cars going around lonnie!!! Some of the lancers and crap with clear rear lights stickers, dumb personal plates realy look sh!t! The orange excel with the stupid body kit and stripes and crap takes the cake for the crapest car ....well any excel for that mater with a whale tale wing!

And the cars with all the stickers down the doors for turbo bits and pieces,..... and the car is NA!

RICE, RICE baby!

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
