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 am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
