I pulled out GT3 after playing GT4 for a while.And deceided to do a bit of time attack with my GTR:

34GTR Full tune super soft tires.

On Midfield Raceway i clocked a 1:04:42.

No coarse cutting.Purely on track racing,didnt drop a wheel.

Just wondering if this was a quick time compared to the average.

CHEERS

^^ ooooh ok.

GT3 is the only GT i havent played, into forza atm actually. Ill hit up the GT4 this weekend and see what i can get?

Hey i was doing my own Tsukuba super lap on GT4 with my full tune 34GTR i got 47.9sec no NOS and qualifying tires.

I think thats quick.

ok, well i had a go at what i could do. on gt4 in tsukuba with no NOS and qualifying tyres i got 47.898. i could possibly get a bit quicker but not sure how much.

as for midfield raceway on gt3 i got 1:03.844. i could get a fraction quicker on that time as i was behind my ghost until the first checkpoint

I just got a 47.242 on Tsukuba with my 34 V-spec II Nur that has the original turbos high flowed to put out 911KW!

It gets a 1/4 mile time of 8.918 at Las Vegas time strip on GT4.

I will have a go at Midfield Raceway now...

Just got a 1.02.941 at Midfield.

I've found that if you use [ ] to brake and tap X while down shifting (effectively heel n' toeing) instead of using the analogue joysticks, even though you loose some 'throttle control', you gain about a second per lap on your time. :)

what do you mean?

and was midfield done on gt3 or gt4?

Time was done on GT4.

what do you mean?

Okay I'll try and explain it a little better. Instead of using the right analogue stick to accelerate and brake, you use the (X) button to accelerate and the square ([]) button to break. Now when your downshifting and breaking using the square button ([]) you 'blip the throttle' (X) with the lower part of your thumb. So when breaking and downshifting you simultaniously tap the throttle, which still slows the car at the same rate but keeps the revs up. Which makes it as if your 'Heel n' Toeing' just like in real life. This allows you to break later and accelerate out of the corner much faster effictivly reducing lap times...

Did that explain it or just make it more confusing? :P

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
