    No criticism's? I cant be doing everything right lol. Comeone guys give me some feedback lol

    Yep, I have no criticism either. It looks like your doing an awesome job on this thing.
    If you really must have criticism you mis-spelled "come on you guys" above in the quote. That's all I could find! :D

    Seriously though, keep it up, you're doing a bloody awesome job. Can't wait to see more!

    New intro r33

    Hi and welcome.
    Cool car, love your work. That's pretty good power on an unopened engine.
    Are you doing the work yourself?
    Those doors... hmmm they're a talking point. I'm sure plenty here will voice their opinions. :)
    Welcome aboard.

    Diff ratio opinion on driveability at 110km/h

    In my car (and my opinion of course) the diffs are way too short. It's one of the reasons I had the power reduced, the car just sprints too fast for my mind to keep up.

    I'm actually budgeting to have them changed to a lower ratio. The problem is, it's expensive (I will have to pay someone) and I barely drive the car.

    If I were in your position knowing what i know, I would stick with the 3.89. It seems like it would be ok, and if you've just worked your engine, i'm sure the car will pull fine.

    What are you aiming for in terms of the car/diffs? Are you looking to have a car that can sprint, or are you looking for relaxed driving on the freeway and slightly better fuel economy?

    One way to overcome long gears it to add more power (which brings its own challenges).

    I need to know if 3.89:1 will be ok on the highway in the 100 - 120km/h range. More to the point, are these engines completely hopeless at around 2400 - 2800rpm? If so, then I can go 4.11 which increases the RPM range to 2500 - 3000rpm. 

    My car has 4.375s in front and rear diffs and it makes 550hp atw. This makes it super fast in a straight line, but has resulted in it pulling around 3100 ish RPM at 100-110 (I can't be exact because the change in ratio isn't known to the speedo). It also means I am generally one gear higher than other cars on the track everywhere (until I run out of gears).

    If you have a car with more power than standard you should be ok, i would assume. If it were me, I would dyno the car to find out what power you make at 110kph and then you can decide for yourself if it is the right mix of cruising vs pickup.

    Need for Speed 2017

    in PC & Games Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Steve85

    I've sworn off Need for Speed after too many time getting my hopes up only to have them completely shatter by the gameplay/physics. Did anyone ever try "The Run" probably the worst physics I've ever seen in a car game (at least a big budget game).

    This video was the one that got me super excited and the game delivered none of what appeared be promised... (bear in mind 2010).

    Edit:

    My favourite part is at 1.31, you can hear the Koenigsegg pedalling the throttle to correct a slide (headphones up loud).

    If they had made this game as good as this trailer i'd still be playing it.

    R33 spoiler blade removal

    I think this has come up before.
    You can either apply some pressure to the head to pull it out while unscrewing. Usually a flat blade screwdriver of equivalent pulling back ever so slightly.
    Or you can drill them out.

    You might want to search this topic as I'm sure it's been done before.

    Tips for new R34

    As someone in Melbourne with a Skyline, I can tell you they get a lot of attention from thieves, cops and car lovers.
    If you're at Monash Clayton, I'd be super careful about where you leave it.
    But, don't let bad thoughts stop you from buying the car you love. Just make sure it has an immobiliser and you'll be fine. Good luck.
