im never gonna forget that damo ditched the dori teks to rock them at auto salon last year i think it was.

hahaha

They were different size rims. Skyline had 18x8's, i lent Damo my ute rims 19x8 front and 20x9 rear.

A lot of ppl here are using the term "JDM"..... Do ppl actually understand what it means? My mum's corolla is more "JDM" than most imports. I'm sick of ppl seeing a kitted import with big rims etc and then saying crap like " Sweet ride man, thats so JDM"

"JDM" STANDS FOR ANY CAR RELEASED IN THE JAPANESE DOMESTIC MARKET, IN ITS STANDARD FORM.

A BMW or Audi when sold off the showroom floor in Japan is "JDM" As it has been made to comply with Japanese standards before being sold and is therefore "jap spec"

In point of fact, for any car that has been modified you could say that its no longer "JDM"

Unfortunately the term jdm has been picked up by guys in their late teens and early 20's over the past five years to describe fully modified, "fully sick" imports and more and more is being used in the wrong context.

just some fuel for further discussion.

well technically fitting aftermarket parts manufactured for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), to a car built for the JDM, would mean it looks JDM.

its just a work people relate to a certain style, it implies that style.

for example calling someone a dickhead implies that they are an idiot, not necessarily that they have a male penis on there forehead.

as opposed to a female penis?

:D

next we move to the term "RICE" the old meaning, a term used by bogans when talking about any japanese car

recent meaning movement towards any modifications that do not make a car go faster. however there seems to be some grey areas with that. is tinting your car windows rice? getting nice non crome looking rims? installing a stereo etc?

DISCUSS :banana: o wait this isnt the wasteland

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
