sound means very little to me as when i race i don't just go for a sunday drive and think to myself "oh that doesn't quite sound right", i mostly ignore the sound and put all my concentration into braking at the last second, hitting the apex and accelerating as early as possible. for me as long as the graphics are decent and it handles very well, then that is all i car about. i care about the racing and not all the wank factor stuff that goes with it.

jeez your 100% focused

Whoa - big call. Hope you're right.

I'm a sound nerd too. Yes, it's very important to me. Some of the community add on sound projects for other driving sims over the years have been fantastic. The right sounds can make a huge difference to the driving experience. Obviously not the most important thing in a game, but a big part of the enjoyment.

Yeha I agree, I all the other GT games I have left the standard exhaust on them simply because they sound like ass with the "aftermarket exhaust"

Yeh yeh whatever.

You don't like it so it's wank. Gotcha. Now it's starting to make sense.

nifteh... my pre-order said it shipped today... w00t...

and to chime in... sound does matter... i'm a little miffed with the exhaust noise in gt5 prologue... with any luck its tweaked some in the full version.

agree mate. sounds means a lot to me too. drive my mates afla group NC historic touring car. it's got twin dual 55mm webbers, makes 220hp out of a 1970s 2 litre with beautiful extractors and exhaust and sounds amazing. drive it around a track and you feel every single RPM and it's sounds like it will such a small child in through it's carby down the straight etc. now turn off the sound and it's just an underpowered nice handling 220hp rwd 1000kg car. might as well be a well set up corrola.

sound is important. good sound can make an otherwise ho-hum car interesting to drive and make a great car amazing to drive.

sound is alot. its alot easier to hear aswell as watch the tacho when you need to change gears up or down. but im not expecting alot GT never has been taht great for sound. although the GT acadamy did sound better. requires lots of volume and i find myself cranking the bass up alot on any GT game.

So... Seen the list of all cars in the game: some random thoughts:

Lamborghini Countach

25th Anniversary '88 - fkn sweet!

Holden Commodore SS '04

Holden Monaro CV8 '04 - that's all the holdens... What a surprise, 6+ years ago they were the current models!

It's hard to pick out the Aussie ford from the list but the AU xr8 is there... Fk pick a worst car eg?!

Isuzu PIAZZA XE '81 - the one n same failed Holden piazza... Guess a Gemini chassis n rolling gear can't handle a spritly turbo 2ltr engine... At least out of the factory :blink: that'll be fun hopefully.

(I remember reading an archive review of it back at release date... A comment regarding the brakes or handling mentioned "terrifying")

Nissan SKYLINE GTS-R (R31) '87 - the only 31, bit disappointing but at least it's there.

WhT the f*k have they been doing for 6 years... Very very few cars are newer than 03, like the newest Corolla is an 02.

from what ive read and seen, most of the 800 odd cars from gt4 have just been dusted off (updated graphics and sounds) and put back into the game.

+1 to the sound thing, cant stand vacuum cleaner cars. need for speed seem to have the best sounding cars, then again they only have 50 cars in every game, and the physics suck balls.

lol got a call from ebgames the other day to say theyr doing a midnight release for it. open at 1030 with sony and their chumps there doing giveaways or something? sounds kinda lame to be honest. might just stroll in at 5 to 12, get the game and GTFO

haha good luck with that.. their shop will be full by 10.35.. jb had a midnight launch of black ops.. line was out the door..

yeah good call. i'd imagine there'd be far more gamer bundies out at midnight for black ops though. i'd assume the gt5 crowd will be slightly older, slightly less geeky, and therefore probably not as dedicated to be out at midnight for it. i think i'll give them a ring later to see what sort of numbers they're expecting to turn up. hell i might just get it tomorrow morning if its going to be that chaotic

mad082, if you consider the 'sound' of a car racing simulator to be categorised as a wank factor then go to time zone & play Daytona.

I put sound up there just as imortant as the handling physics of a game. Graphics I put at the bottom! I'd much prefer playing a racing game with pixelized graphics where the car handling physics are just like real life and give me goosebumps listening to them over a game with crystal clear real life graphics & cars that sound like vacuume cleaners.

The first time I played Forza, was Forza 3. And I tell you what, I lost my mind. I felt like spitting on my PS3 and snapping my GT5 Prologue disc in half afterwards because of it. (all because of the sound!!) Hearing the depth of detail of the Supra smashing the rev limiter absolutely blew me away. For the first time I actually enjoyed just driving the car straight in a racing game just because the sound was so realistic. The physics of Forza also were just unreal - sooooooooooooooooooooooooo far advanced over GT5.

In every Gran Turismo I've played, you can rev limit 5th spinning in a 600hp Supra and the car stays straight??? hmmmmmmmmm. In forza, once the car breaks traction, it naturally steps out making you have to control the car. If the cars dont naturally do this in GT5, ill find it bl**dy HILARIOUS after 4 years of work.

there is already an update for the game. 133mb worth. seems to unlock more of the online mode stuff (which they obviously left out of the game so that they could control it a bit more to stop people getting on there too soon before the release date.

if the world ends in the next 32 hours (gotta take into account the time i will be at work before i get to play the game), i'm going to be soooooo pissed.

All I want to know is: Where's the XF Fairmont Ghia with the EFI 4.1 and the broken door handle? If there should be any Australian car in GT5, it's the XF!

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
