JDM specR badge

[Joe]

Whilst looking through my k11 pics, I noticed that a lot of the japanese are putting specR badges from silvia s15 specR models on their cars (see pics below). Is this just like putting a GTR badge on (only seen a GTR badge on one jap k11)? or was a company producing "specR" tuning packages for the micra?

Not sure on the badge but jesus christ, the first and last ones are hideous.

There might be a tuning company, but I doubt many use it.

Just like the Nismo badges everyone loves, this adds 1000HP.

Agreed....don't know about Spec R, should be Spec Savers!

Interestingly enough; I've never seen a Micra with a Spec-R badge, but I've seen one with a GTiR sticker, didn't look like it had come from a Pulsar. Looked a stock K11. +50 HP Y0..

I've always liked the impul kit, I think the real spec r is a tuning company in japan

Cheeky

Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements, you silly

Actually it's Race Inspired Car Enthusiast, but lets not go there

You what? Really?
I thought it was cosmetic enhancements, because of all the trashy body kits, but no actual performance gains?

I've always known the definition of rice to be stupid bodykits/spoilers/lexus lights but no actual performance modding.

I'd be careful or Karl will whack you with his wienerschnitzel

That'd make 90% of the cars on this forum rice

And yes I will

I wouldn't consider low+tasteful wheels as rice.

Tasteless useless mods = rice.

Yeah, my definition was a little vague. Like skymera, your K11 is gorgeous, even though I don't know if you have any performance modifications.

I'm sorry I don't share your opinion, I'll stop trying to be different and conform to what everyone else likes

Good boy.
No, All I'm saying is, large "BRIDE" stickers, (When you've obviously got the stock interior) Brembo stickers, when you've painted your rear drum red.. it's just not necessary.
However each to their own, I'm not hating on anyone, I'm simply stating my opinion.

i got a gtr badge on my micra lol added 0bhp tho

 

[McMicra]

Do people even know what Rice stands for? :L

 

[skymera]

Do people even know what Rice stands for? :L

An automobile that has been equipped with gawdy, unnesecary accessories, such as 3' high spoilers, loud and/or repulsive paint job and body work. Owners of such automobiles feel that these accessories make their car the best in the world, when in fact it is not.

 

[MaxK11C]

I wish I never mentioned the word... Honestly, do what you like to your car, build it for you, not the rest of the world.

 

[McMicra]

Near enough :L

Basically making it look like a racercar or whatever without actually giving it anymore go :L

 

[Low Rider]

BHP doesn't make up for p*ss poor taste....

Nor does dialling in silly amounts of camber

 

[McMicra]

^^This is true aswell

That's another thing I don't like - M3/M5 badges on obviously stock 3's and 5's... But each to their own..

Hahahaha! It just makes it even more embarrassing for the driver.

Such as someone slip streaming you and when you pull over they've already exceeded vmax and thus fade to a speck in your rear view. You then slow down and when they pass the back of the car is covered in GTI+Turbo barges......hmmm, yeah right, must have been running on low octane

You mean those mega cool "GT TDI TURBO 20V 2.0 Sport TypeR V6" cars???

I've been passed by a few of those!

Good luck keeping up with a 2litre V6 20valve turbo TypeR Golf!

 

[MaxK11C]

That's nothing guys. My TDCI VTR DOHC VTEC Type R GTi-R 944 Turbo GT-R SiR 5.7 Honda Civic EM1 with flames down the side for an extra 50bhp yo. This has got to be making at least 2500bhp.. oh yeah its also an m3.
Edit: most sarcastic 100th post ever.

Scrappy if you're very very lucky.
Otherwise you could get universals but these specific ones are very expensive iirc.

 

[nik0lai]

Are these some aftermarked parts that nissan/nismo sold? And is they still for sale today?
