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?

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
