Yes Yes YES I lurrrve this game. Esp when you apply the D3D patch it looks AWESOME. BTW there are a squillion "home brew" tracks out there inc. Bathurst, Oran Park, Adelaide, Albert Park etc, etc, etc.

The Coolest track i've seen is Ridgehill Raceway. I love the realistic dynamics of this game, much like Gran Turismo and yes it's a biatch w/out a steering wheel !!

Wow thread revival...

Crooser... havnt seen you around for a while!

I recently reinstalled GPL, I only race "the ring" and after a couple of sessions im down to 8:13 with the Ferrari.

Its a damn challenging game! I love it! Steering wheel only of course :D

LFS indeed has incredible physics.... incrediably horrible ;)

It just does not feel right... Netkar isnt too bad... GT-Mod for F1 2002 as well... but I still love GPL :)

hehe great thread to revive:D

Well, in the last 15 months, I've managed to tear chunks from my rank:rolleyes: . I'm down from -4.5 to -9.5.

I just installed Netkar, and it's good fun, but I always go back to GPL.

Currently trying to lower my rtime at Spa. 3:19.31 and counting. I was hoping to break into the 16's, but it looks like I might have to be satisfied with 18's (If I can even manage that).

I don't do the online thing. From what I've heard, it's more addictive than offline racing. I have enough trouble fitting my life around GPL as is it, not to need another challenge.

Its very addictive, i havent driven it for a few weeks whilst i was in the middle of a tournament season, like i started practising Monza and i was only running high 28's and last season i was running high 27's. To drop that extra second it was going to take me ages so i couldnt be bothered.

I play Legends and love it. Have patches and loaded more cars and tracks. Le Mans rocks. Bathurst excellent but across the top of the moutain it is so hard.

I have a Hypersimulator which makes it so much more real.

GPL and GP4 are the only games a play now days.

Mick.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
