I have had a request to delete all references to "Rice" that have f*cked up an otherwise brilliant thread.

First and last warning guys...

Remember: the more you argue about Rice in the Japan Forum, the smaller your pen!s gets...

As far as I'm concerned a "Ricey Car" is a 1.5 Carby 4 door Lancer with an Evo 4 kit and Altezzas on 13" Black steelies.

That Yashio 15 was one of the nicest turned out cars at the Salon - my favourite of the show - if I remember correctly they quoted a "street trim" 400hp from it - more than enough to take care of 99% of Rexes.

In the words of the immortal Eazy E - "I can afford to laff cos I'm backing it up" - If a car has enough grunt then it can have a bit of rice.

My 14 will be bagged and riced to the hilt - but it will have 300rwhp and be sub 5 to 100 capable - is that OK?

Top pics Blitz - We're processing the 7 or 800 remaining pics - we've only got 165 of Race Queens tho...

There was 1 DR30 on display DaiOni - The Tomica DR30 Touring Car was on display on the Bridgestone/Nismo stand in the carpark on the far side of Makuhari. There's a pic of it in one of our galleries.

We actually stumbled across that bit of the show by accident while we were looking around the side streets for cool cars. We actually found last years G Corp Sileighty parked along the canal.

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
