I just picked up my copy at lunch time but I still got to wait till I get home before I get a chance to play…..

For those of you that have been living in a cave and don’t know what TT is, it’s basically GT4 with motorbikes. You get almost all the same tracks (yes that includes Nurburgring) and approximately 180 sports bikes to choose from. Plus you get to customize them with sports exhausts and etc… just like in the GT series.

Anyone else played it? Thoughts? I’ll give my first impressions of it tomorrow…. And if there is enough of us here that get it, we could probably run similar time challenges as with GT4….

Well, I’ve had about a bit over an hour to play it so far and I’m pretty impressed. Far more difficult than GT4. Same graphics which are fantastic, the bikes range from scooters to racers, race bikes and even a tourer or two. All the GT4 tracks are there (apart from Le Mans) and even a new circuit which is Valencia.

My first foray in TT was with a nice Ducati 999 at Nurburgring. As expected, it ended in tears just after turn one. The entire screen leans into corners as I quickly found out that you don’t control the bike, but more so the rider. Also you can set up your sitting position on the bikes with a lot of precision. If you want to ride a dirt bike, you can even pick a motard sitting position, and get that leg out on the turns.

As I mentioned before, falling is really easy (mind you I did have it on professional settings), and I soon had the highside down packed pretty well.

For someone who has ridden his fair share of bikes, I actually found it far more difficult to control the bike in game than I ever have in real life…. Maybe I’m just more cautious in real life though….

Anyway here are a few ingame shots I quickly took when I was playing… looking forward to some quality time with TT this weekend. Overall I rate it rather highly actually and I’d give it a 9 ½ out of 10 because it’s just so damn fun popin monos…

yeah i picked up a copy last saturday and im pretty happy with it. unfortunately i find it pretty hard to pop monos on anything other than the sportsbikes like the yzf600s and upwards. you should be able to get pretty much any of them on the back wheel...drz400s and the like should do them easy. but oh well, im just biased being an offroad rider:p unfortunately there doesnt seem to be any wheelspin or lockups either which takes away from riding motard bikes which are usually sliding into corners under brakes and whatnot. graphics look wild tho, and the gameplay is pretty easy to get the hang of.

i heard bikes will be included in GT5 tho, so that should be pretty awesome whenever it comes out on ps3!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.

      Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By Duncan · Posted

      Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
