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

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
