anyone have any reviews on this game?? Thinking of getting it

My 2 cents

Pluses

Graphics are awesome (uses the same engine as GTA IV). Downtown LA is mapped out really nicely

Soundtrack is very good

Car physics are really good - the weight of the cars have big effect (try 2 wheel a S14 around the corner and it will roll)

Customisation is good

Day & Night cycle affects traffic volumes

Online racing is good and not too laggy (Haven't tried it personally but friends of mine have done so)

Minuses

No split-screen mulitplayer - don't get me started on this!

Game can be incredibly hard - some people really complained about this but for me it adds to the challenge (increses frustration but you get a sense of joy when you win)

Game is very terrible "rubberbanding" or catch up logic for you Daytona Kiddes. it helps you but it also pisses you off at the same time

Car/bike collection is not deep enough - 3 bikes is not enough and no too many cars (in comparision to DUB Edition)

At high speed you can bounce off power poles and trees and just slow down but at lower speeds you will be stuck

IMO for a game series that its their first time out on "next-gen" consoles...Its a very good baseline to work on...the next game needs a very deep car collection.

I highly recommend getting the game from the video shop and play with it before you consider buying it

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Stock Airbox and Snorkle for RWC - VIC west

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

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

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
