I am wanting for my r32 to get off the boat, but last night was shattered to see a HSV sedan 260kw version totally smash an r32 gtst in a drag.

The r32 was man, had exhaust, could see front mount, and boost gauge. the HSV also manual but looked stock. They both tried as they both skidded on take off and reved the @##4 out of it.

Should this be happening?

In the RB25DET i have no problems ripping down HSV's with the 285 badges on the sides. They will always get the head start because of our buddy turbo lag but then the main concentration is to keep traction. To beat a HSV your power has to be above 200Kw otherwise you stand no chance.

hehe, well they did say "Reason why god created turbo lag, was to give V8s a chance"

Thanks for stories and comments lol.

Knew r32 was never going to be racing menace but hey just something about the guys in commos where I'd love to be able to beat them in a 15k car compared to 90k or whatever they are.

Sorry didn't see if r32 driver was p plate driver or not - but sounded like he left second gear on the road - it crunched in pretty hard!

rookie or rich i guess.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
