Just saw two Nissans street racing. A S15 and a R32 GTR (possibly R33, didn't catch it until it took off).

What would you do in this case? Report it to the Police or ignore it?

I was a car behind them and was going to speed up to give them a thumbs up and a Hi, until they both launched and I backed off and didn't know them at all.

I would love to report them but to be honest what does that achieve other then putting the spotlight on imports.

The next cop you come across could very well be the one you reported it to and his going to still rape you for driving an import and possibly even worse because he just last week had someone report 2 street races.

It only brings bad things to the community.

That's only my honest opinion though.

You did mean a Karate chop didnt you.

Only POV kids street race, to poor to go to the track or the drags and to scared that their hecktic car will be smoked in front of a audience.

Never thought of it this way. But if the cops knew an import was reporting on hoon imports, wouldn't that say something to them?

They won't be able to tell the difference between a good import and a bad import on the road so they will just be looking for imports.

There's a big stretch of road on the way to my house that has an 80km speed limit, and the cops usually sit in a car half way up the road with the radar but everyone still speeds. I think it's hilarious when i get people in falconwhores and shit trying to race me then they speed off because i won't take the bait and get booked.

But no, i wouldn't report it

Time and place thats what it comes down to IMO.

Freeway or open multi-lane Hwy at 2 in the morning (off peak) with no other traffic, then I'm all for runs as long as it safe,

Residental area, or busy road and they are actually endangering peoples lives/property then thats a different story.

I saw a street race going on around 11 when driving home. Scary coz it was just 2 crap box commys. Came from behind and only saw them for a second. Was expecting to come around the corner and see a mess. Would have reported them coz it was dead stupid where they were doing it.

^this^ would determine whether to chop or not to chop

Regardless of time and place:

reporting it wont stop ppl street racing , besides im sure the cops wont take a report over the phone so it means taking yourself down to the local cop shop, parking your import outside the door (!)and wasting your time inside

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
