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!

Your civic isn’t fast.
BMW Z4 > S2K & MX5
Great list and all but (as a JDM fan) I don’t think GT-R is the best car ever created. It has very wide range of features and stuff, it is the masterpiece of engineering too. But it’s a little bit over-rated IMO. I’d rather go with R32 or R34 (staying with Nissan) or Supra (either Mk3 or Mk4), RX-7, MX-5…
Gtr best car ever made? Haha when do we laugh? 😂😂
Really bugs me when people mis-spell VTEC every time……. It’s not like they have it spelled out on the engines 😜
I’m surprised nobody said you should LS swap your Rx-7
But… Although it is a great car, the GT-R is actually not the best car ever created
Datsun’s are back in production but they’re cars are so far from what they used to be.
Ok, let’s recap
A JDM fanboy will rage when
GREAT LIST. Now I know how not to offend a 4 year old child! Oh, wait, this was a “JDM Fan” list? Well why did you make all JDM Fans look like little kids who throw hissy fits at a slightest provocation?
