i'm only relatively new to this forum (Sept '05), so notice the topic, as im sure GT4 has been thrashed to death...

BUT.. I just sat down and had a couple of laps in a Mines N1 R34 GTR after many months of neglecting GT4 (Yes, i am an evil bastard. GT4 must be nurtured like your first born!), and I am still blown away by the realistic physics that this game has.

The point of my post: Does it get any better than this? right now is there anything better than this when it comes to racing simulation? I have seen a company that has developed a hydraulic seat which moves with the game to simulate G forces by tilting the seat. But this wont be commercially available for a long time. Is there any better games out, or coming out soon?

wouldn't say GTR is more realistic.. or R factor.. played all 3.. would still say GT4 is a very well mapped out physics.. Live for speed however, would probably take the cake..

problem with the above - GTR and R factor, is although they are meant to be realistic, they are still somewhat arcadey in their feel.. i've just cranked GT4 out again (got a HD 32" LCD - really makes a difference)..

maybe if I had a steering wheel for the PC games it would make a difference.. live for speed would have to be my pick.. great fun..

if your using the logitech driving force pro for gt4, it is compatible with pc... except i cant seem to find a good driver to support the full lock rotation of the wheel.

@ Primordial, I too have neglected GT4 for far too long. I think i'm gonna have to book some solid time in.

That Mines GTR is a great peice of work... but I much rather dive the RUF yellow bird.... a real handful to dive....

I'll take a different approach....

No!, it doesn't, and it won't until Gran Turismo Vision (GT5) comes out :P

Whats you fastest lap around the Nurburgring?

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
