downloaded the online update today,

so far i don't like it due to the amount of cheating that goes on, people smashing into you, bumping you off your line etc etc... I just did one race when at the start everyone was just smashing into each other, i try to stay out of the way but one dude smash me off into the sand i got back onto the track and fought back and won the race lol :thumbsup: but another race i was in 1st place with the 07 GTR and then another gtr smash me off the track in the hairpin of fuji :@

i think they need to revises the black-flag system as it does work but not good enough to stop people from continuously tring to cheat...

but all and all if you get a race were everyone races fair its bulk fun! and it good to see how you go against other people

how do you go about downloading the update? when i opened the game it started downloading something, took for ages (well over an hour) to get about half way through and then an error message came up but obviously couldnt read it, was that the update? i had a look on the japan store but couldnt find anything there

i had the same problem, i just keep tring and then finally it download it completely. you can only download in the game

what are all the little options you get before you race. i know what the AT and MT are, and i am assuming the bottom 2 are tyre choice (i could be wrong) but whats the stuff in between?

the 1st opinion after transmission, is simulation or pro. mode

then

-active brake

-stability control

-Traction control

:P

Has anyone else finished this game? I did it a few weeks ago and the prize car is the 2005 GT-R Poto... without the 'in-car' dashboard view. Pretty underwhelming if you ask me :thumbsup: Anyway it's a good game and certainly makes the wait for the full game a bit harder.

also finish it, but need more cash to buy the ferrari 599 as that is the only race i have left. so just been doing online racers

Hey Michael, the 599 race is easy... I found most races are easy if you set the car to 'standard' (I think its called standard) simulation and not 'professional'. The 599/Z06 etc are just too twitchy on full throttle out of 2nd gear corners using the gamepad. Not sure if it's any better with a steering wheel. I reckon the '1-2 finish' F430 race at Suzuka is the best when setting the car to professional simulation... very challenging.

I got a white 40G PS3 from Tsutaya in Kobe for 38,500 yen btw, thats a good $200 cheaper than typical Aussie prices which is a real shame.

Got mine the other day, been online in nothing other than a Bayside Blue R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur :D

My username is R34Maniac.. so it wouldn't be hard to find me :P

The 599 is impossible to drive on the online race on Daytona with those terrible tyres. I saloute :P anybody who can drive it on there without aids.

God the Suzuka 10 lap race is hard.......it's easy to do ONE perfect but to 10 of them to get to number one is SO DAMN HARD.....I'm using the R35 GTR and the gold trophy is just out of reach ARRRGGGHHH

and btw....the Z06 is so shit its not funny, it has NO BRAKING POWER!!!!!!

Can anyone clear up something i am interested in asking?

I may be wrong but some here have bought their PS3's from Japan and are playing them via a HD TV that supports both NTSC AND PAL?

I have a 32 inch Bravia LCD and i know without a converter i cant play PAL games.

Are there any other problems besides colour system compatibility?

Or is it that i'm missing something.

Really, i just want a piece of the online GT5 action..im champing at the bit to claim the flag...

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
