Fuck Japanese cars

[Zachary]

Whoever said the Japanese knew how to build a car was a fucking moron.

Helpful hint for anyone working on a shitty ass rice burner - A solid black wire leading from the battery does NOT neccessarily denote a GROUND wire, like it does everywhere else in the known universe. It might actually be the POSITIVE wire. Fucking brilliant.

That is all.

[BIGEVIL]

If you follow that big wire to the battery, you will find that it goes to side where the little " + " is. If the wire connects to a large copper item on the other end, it is probably hot.

My positive wires are purple. My grounds are silver.
You do not have permission to work on my car.

oh yes i got a japanese car and i had to change the headlights out and i spent 2 hours trying to figure what the fuck was wrong with the damn thing when its wires were mixed colors.pissed me the fuck off x[

[StrayCat]

lol. i have had a few cars that the wires just ran off into oblivion, and both were black, but, all you have to do , especially on jap cars, is look for the battery terminal that has more than 2 or 3 wires attached to it. that would be the positive one.

[Bone wagon]

Thats the reason i would take mine to a pro to work on it..but so far i have never needed to..7 years and 60K miles on my nissan and never had any problems.can't say that about my last car, a fucking ford..that think was always breaking down on me..mostly wireing problems..fuck amercan cars..untill they make a quality product again like before the late 70's..im sticking to rice burning cars..

i bought one of those lil multi-meters from wal-mart. it was pretty cheap i think, less than $10.

i used it to wire up the keyless entry system into my coach.

[Zachary]

Yeah, see there were two problems...two wires coming out of each terminal and the fact that they did that fun little jaunt off into nowhere to be seen land so you couldn't really tell where the fucking things were.

I stand by my assessment. Oh yeah, and since it was mentioned, fuck Fords too.

Thank you for bringing this up.
Japanese cars can burn in ever living hell.

Buy American while you still can.

I think most people are lemmings and drive the Honda or Toyota that everyone else drives because they want to fit in. Don't let the Jap auto manufacturers take over the world.

Oh and Nascar letting Toyota race... WTF?

Fuck Japanese cars

I will definately second that!
We rented a Toyota while in Denver for the 05 PCS meet and it was the shittiest car I have ever driven. It had NO power at all, and it was tiny and very uncomfortable. I will never do that again.
I would much rather pay a little more to get where I am going, and do it in comfort, than be cheap and suffer like a sardine in a can.

And for the Fords..... 1974 and older Fords are cool, but the newer stuff like most newer cars are jusnk.

[kaptinkaos]

Mid 80's & older Ford's are good as far as trucks, sedans, mid 70's & older.
But I agree, most Jap cars/trucks seem to fall apart way to fast & are a pain in the ass to repair.

[StrayCat]

they aren't ALL bad, I love my 96 300zx twin turbo. But you gotta pay for the good stuff. 1996 was the last year they built the 300zx because they cost sooo much to build, that most people couldn't afford to buy them. I bought mine at auction for 3000.00. And that is cheap as fuck for one of these even today. but when i got home with it the inner tie rods were bad, and the pass side rear wheel bearing was bad, not to mention the right rear tire.( and those fuckers are z rated). I had to order EVERYTHING from the dealer, because everything the local "chain" stores had was wrong. So lets see, tie rods were 60 bucks a peice, rear wheel bearing was 230.00, tires were almost 800 bucks for the set. you get the idea. might as well be a fucking porshe. I can't wait untill the turbos lock up. i have the choice of rebuilding or replacing the old ones at 900 bucks EACH, or i can do up to a stage 3 upgrade( without replacing the rings) for 3,500 for the pair. But, at least it's very fffffaaaasssssttttttt......lol

yeah i used to drive a camry. ironically, it was the camry's death that lead me to a hearse.

but seriously, the oil filter on that damn thing was right under the exhaust manifold, very hard to get to. also above some kind of engine mount or whatever, and it made a royal mess to change the filter.

it was a decent reliable car for the most part though. it never stranded me anywhere (unlike my POS truck!)

[Psychoholic]

I'd love to pick up some kind of cheap piece of crap rice burner like TonyTheSkin left sitting in front of my house...

Something that gets some decent gas mileage unlike EVERYTHING else in the driveway.

Many of the Jap cars are made in the US now, but I hated the damned things back in the 70's, when I drove mostly Brougham-styed cars. I thought that it has better to buy a top of the line car that was a few years old than a newer, cheaper car.

The Jap cars were very difficult to work on, badly underpowerered, and hard for me to fit in. Just as I like loose-fitting clothing, I like lots of room to move around in my car. I also like them quiet, smooth, squirrel-cage fans instead of noisy prop style, cloth seats, or leather, and easy to steer. I actually moved the seats on my 76 Brougham back 4".

One thing that caused people to doubt the quality of US cars was the practice of importing Jap cars and putting US names on them, Mazdas labeled as Fords, Isuzus as Chevrolet, and Mitsubishi as Chrysler, back in the day of the worst Jap quality.
