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?

Well I did. Not too sure about Mike :closedeyes:

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 just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
