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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
