You'll find that living in Australia, many Aussies call any Japanese car a "rice burner". Doesn't matter if it is stickered up or turbo'd, the fact that it was produced in Japan is enough to warrant it being called a "rice burner". This isn't a new thing, they were even doing it when my dad was at Uni.

"Rice" is generally considered to be anything that alludes to the car being quick, when it clearly is not. Ie. phat exhausts on a N/A car, fake intercoolers etc etc

Wow, is that truely your first encounter of being labled under the "ricey" banner???

get use to it!!! lol

I work 4 Holden - U can imagine the sh*t that I cop. I've got alot of friends with some very fast good ol' V8's - we always dissin' each others cars - all in good fun. theres soooooooooooo many comebacks for both groups of cars.

The rivalry has been there for years - & will always be there. makes things interesting

yeah Rice can be labelled as uneccssary mods that dont help performance ...... just look at uneekwahns car *stir, stir* :D

or Rice burner just a jap import car.

I called my friends Sigma rice once (he was trying to do it up) and he came back with "If mine Rice then you have an Industrial Sized Rice Burner" .... he made a good point i shut up LOL or you could have Holden parents like mine who go "Whats the jap crap doing under our driveway"

i liked it when i got my car, couple of mates go 'ahhh rice boy'

i was like - whats rice about my GTR

the GTR wheels?

the GTR body kit?

the GTR badges?

its pretty much stock - so it can't be rice, that shut them up

I think Jimih has hit the nail on the head here. Ive read many threads in the past about rice and i would say that was the best explaination ive heard yet.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
