Guest trikdoutvl

i got my copy now, printed the online bigW price of gta4 n took it into eb n got it for 78 instead of 120 ooo yeh big thanks to the guy who mentioned it for 78 at bigW cheers mate....

, the cars are way to simulator like but i do love the fact of holding the break n poping the tyres so good lol awsome..

also love the way when u car jack some1 they try to hang on to the car n get dragged along the ground

i think the games a lot more of a simulator now its kinda lost its real arcade type feel, but its still mad

so wats other ppls favourite bitz of the game, im up to the level where u go shotting the ppl in the appaerment with the black guy

I think you'll be the first to figure that one out :)

I think it'd work.. Cant see why not. Essentially its the same game with very minor differences..

Yeah hoping it works hey!! Just sitting around and waiting now!!

Apparently my copy will arrive on Wednesday!! Only A week late!! Will be having neutral feedback with the seller on EBAY!!!

at first i played it for a couple hours and thought it wasnt that good. then it changed. lol. i have ended up playing it for like 6 hours at a time, time just flies when your playing this game. better than i thought!! im up to 40 % finished so far...

does anyone know if you can buy houses or anything like that so far??

I think you'll be the first to figure that one out :thumbsup:

back in the day when GTA3 came out on PS2...they released it and then took it off the shelves before later releasing the censored version...from memory, saved games on the non censored version didn't work on the censored version..

Damm hey! I'm really getting stuck into the Game and i dont wanna get to far into it cause i'll get over it if i have to start from scratch again!!

Yeah mine froze on the loading screen the other night and kept doing it.. I unplugged the ethernet cable then it worked ok, as someone else said if I lost the saved game i'd prolly get bored of it pretty quick hopefully they do a patch soon

I had a go at multiplayer, funny shit jumping into a car with a mate hanging out the window causing chaos

anyone had problems loading up a saved game

i did yesterday :whistling:

yeh every now and then it wont load for me, so i just quit game, re-open and its fine

if any of you are having trouble with onine "lost connection to one or more players" dw, try hosting your own ga,me and it should work for you. its widespread so fix should be on way.

p.s. anyone notice the R32 gtst wagons ?

Picking up my ebay uncensored version after work from the post office, it is the waiting for me yay.

For those interested i have been informed on other sites that game saves wil work if you started playing a rental or whatever and then got your copy.

I will confirm this tomorrow too.

well this should explain my resolution question. and why mine defaults to 720p. pinched from another forum:

"There are 3 types of HD games on the PS3.

Games that are 720p native (will not run at higher resolutions).

Games that are 1080p native (will run at 720p, 1080i & 1080p).

And games that support 720p & 1080i.

You can't force or "trick" a game to run at 1080p if it doesn't support it. What you are doing is getting it to run at 1080i, then the PS3 is outputting the signal progressive. The reason games that support 720p and 1080i default to 720p is that 720p outputs at 60 frames-per-second, and 1080i is half that (30 fps). Visual detail on a moving image is about the same for both resolutions (1080i is twice as many pixels, half as fast) but the higher frame rate is better for gaming. So when you try and force a game to 1080p you are actually getting a lower frame rate, and no increase in quality.

The reason they put 1080i support in games is that some older HD sets do not have 720p (they are 1080i only for HD), and on those sets a 720 only game ends up running at 480p SD resolution (Sony never enabled full hardware scaling for HD games). The game knows the best resolution to run at, so don't waste your time trying to "trick" it because you can't get 1080p out of a game that doesn't support it. Games that have true 1080p support will run at 1080p. If the game picks something else then that is the best resolution for the game.

NOTE: COD4 is a special case because it does "support" 1080p output, but it is not rendered at 1080p. COD4 has software scaling built-in to the game engine. It is actually rendered at 600p and scaled to whatever resolution your TV requires, so the game is not really a 1080p game."

Well ill be damned. Might have to set mine back to 720p then, see if i can notice a difference after playing it on 1080p for so long. Thanks for that man :down:

I found an evo lookalike with bov sounds lol, shoots flames too

its on the third island in the top right hand corner where theres 3 paths, at the end of the middle path behind a garage in the bushes

Hey i my brother has the cut version and ive got the uncut one .. is the only difference in the cuncut version that the hookers have a $20 $50 and $70 services and u see em goin at it ?

Cos if thats the only difference does it realy matter if u have a cut version realy .. i mean it doesnt affect the gameplay at all ..

Im a little disapointed that there are no planes and no car customization ..

But it is pretty mad though .. im lovin it ..

no planes cos they said its in a city, what u need em for. same thing with no tanks or attack choppers (there is a coast guard chopper with mini guns though) cos you dont usually get a military base in a city lol.

as for customization they took heaps out and i hate it !!!

no car mods

theres only 3 clothes shops ?

no tats or hair cuts (could be forgiven if they didnt take so much other stuff out)

i really dont understand why theres only three clothes shops, thats the worst bit ...

yet they still have a stat for your fav one lol

i wish there was optional property to buy like in vice city but again not as big a deal

anyways i finished it yesterday .61% complete. just gotta go kill some pigeons, do some jumps and steal some cars and stuff now lol . . .

Ok heres what ive found to be the differences between the games.

1. Blood, The blood has been toned down in the Aus version. When you kill someone in the uncut version there is a blood pool that comes from under their body.

2. Hookers, In the cut version you only see the rear number plate of the car. Where as in the uncut you have 3 choices on what you want the hooker to do and you can see in the car.

3. Language, It seems the cut version has the language toned down a little.

Thats all ive found so far, Ive been playing the cut version since release and just started the uncut one today, ive continued on from where the cut version left off. So i can confirm that your save will be ok when you switch versions.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
