9 Things You Should Never Say To A JDM Fanboy
1. I like Hondas. Mine does a great job of mowing the lawn
Putting a lawnmower at the same level as an S2000 or a Civic Type R is a good way to upset a JDM fanboy.
2. When does V-Tec kick in?
Making sarcastic remarks about one of their favourite engine features is not the best way to start a friendship with a Japanese car lover.
3. All Japanese cars are rice
Just because there tends to be a number of wings on spoilers on Japanese cars doesn’t mean they’re riced - JDM car lovers will quickly defend themselves at such accusations.
4. Jokes like this:
Do not laugh at their engine’s size - they feel proud of extracting great performance, fuel efficiency and reliability from smaller engines, and besides, no one likes to hear they have a small anything…
5. When will you put tribals on your car?
For a proper JDM fanboy that works on the heart of his car instead of the body style it must be frustrating to have people assume they’re purely motivated by aesthetics.
6. The GTR is not the best car ever created
True or not, would you like to be told that your dream car isn’t the best in the world?
7. Walk up to their S2k and say: “Nice Miata, bro”
This is probably more annoying for the Honda owner, but either way, fans of both of these cars are borderline fanatical, so recognising their car for what it is will ensure no facepalms are endured.
8. Have you seen the new Datsuns?
It’s been Nissan for a while now! This joke has been around since Datsun died out in the 80s, so you’re not being original, either…
9. The Nissan GT-R drives by itself
In particular, our very own Neil Winn will hate to hear this one!

Why so serious? Since when are even petrolheads as sensitive to every damn troll, snide remark, or just plain button pressing as feminists, nationalists etc?
We’re supposed to take pride in the cars we like wheter others like VTEC or 1.8 liter engines or not. Who cares if the GT-R is the best or not? Oh noooo, someone dissed a car I will not own in the following 10 years!!!! MUST DECAPITATE!
“walk to a S2000 and say ‘nice Miata bro’” is totally acceptable imo
“sr20’s are sh*t” “put an LS in it” “r32’s are for gays”
“Yo you should ls swap that thing”
I tried yelling at a GTR to drive but sadly all it did was sit there and idle 😢. #mythbusted
Not sure if comments in this post helping this post for more examples or just hating
Never say will it fist. Because most of them will fail
1.8 liter?you have alot of space for tuning parts my friend
