. I'm having trouble with the Intermediate nascar challenges on the outside lane. So hard to get gold, I think i've had at least 100 attempts.

u serious, must be because you use a controller, i did it first time with a wheel

man has anyone fully upgraded the exhaust on a premium s13 with the little 1.8? ive got it at 350hp and man does it sound good and go hard. i too was pretty disapointed at all the standard cars, they are just gt4 with shiny paint..

doesnt matter i guess when ive got my 660hp r33 gtr v-spec (premium), and loving it!!

im having trouble getting gold on the those as well, i think the closest i came was within .010.. yes im using controller. i suspected that was why. having a real hard time keeping a smooth line.

is anyone else's not connecting to the community server? on the GT mode home page i go to community and it comes back saying error fail cannot do that etc

Yeah I'm using the control but changed acceleration to R2 for throttle control. I'ts a pretty intense 13 seconds lol. I was going to buy a wheel for this game but after maxing the mods on the Veyron and R35 the games just way to easy and not that fun anymore. I'll probably get a Driving force GT if I keep playing, is anyone using this wheel here? Or should I get the G25/G27?

Given up on nascar with the controller =/ Bronze is all I can manage on the advanced one =/

Finished all the challenges bar ^ and only managed to get silver for the advanced AMG plus one silver in that tour thing with the WRC focus....

Now need to save money for a LeMans car =/

So far extremely farken disapointed is an understatement.

Don't know what the fark they were doing for the last 3-5 years but it certainly wasn't making an interesting game.

Each GT so far, I've sat down and literally have thought WOW. But this one has nothing!

About the only thing i can honestly say I've thought, man this a big improvement on the last GT is the exhaust notes, thats it.

The AI is something i would expect in mario bros game. AI drivers just tap you and your in a spin into the grass, yet they just circulate like nothings happened.

You can be on the racing line and they just plough into you. Its like you need to get out of their way.

It also has some crap catch up type thing built in. Just did too back to back races in the same car, Race 1 in second place was a fight to get the lead. Race 2 gave everyone 30secs start and caught the field in a lap.

Not sure if i was epecting too much after playing PC sims like GTR2 but so this is absolute crap.

Yeah graphics are great, and yeah nice selection of cars, but I'm close to board shitless after 1 day.

Time to hand in my GT Fanboy badge. I buy the playstations purely for this game and well, looks like it'll be the last one i get.

Yep I noticed that aswell.

When you have an inside view of a premium car and there is a shadow cast over the windscreen or something, it is jagged as hell!

The thing is, if it had came out when it was ment to it would be a glorious game, the fact they delayed it for so long really screwed them over.

If number 6 comes out within the next couple of years I think that is going to be the one to watch out for.

+1 I noticed that too. To be quite honest Forza 3 may be a better game over all the GT5 and this is coming from the man who bought a PS3 nearly a year ago hoping for this game to come out soon. Its not a bad game its just dissappointing because after so long you would expect it to blow Forza 3 out of the water not just get close to or just equal it.

Fark you guys whinge a lot.

Anyone else have trouble with getting gold with slalom challenges with a controller?

Yes, some of the challenges are very very difficult with the controller, i've been reading the GT5 boards and it seems very few people if any have been able to do the later NASCAR challenges without a wheel.

bobbeh - iracing.com !!!

yep, thats next on the list. Have a month off over Xmas :)

I don't know, to me its not that its bad, its just that the entire concept/game play is exactly like the last one.

Personally i would prefer shit graphics but a game that I'm so addicted too that i don't go to sleep, instead of this artsy piece of crap we got. I mean a photo section? FARK OFF, its a game.

This game to me seems like it was purely made to stroke some clowns ego at polyphony cause he thought he could produce the prettiest cars in a game.

Its not whinging if its true :D

Oh and while I'm at it, what the fark is with that message each time you get a car, now you have black paint, now you have blue paint. We farken get it!!

As if this thing didn't have enough screens to click through without garbage like that.

GT5 is like when an actor kills it at the box office and then does one of those back alley semi ghey pron films to show how talented he his. Doesn't matter how you look at it, it still sux balls.

That is one of the most annoying things I have found.

yea the paint thing is a pain in the ass. and if you use one of those colours to paint another car, you cant use that colour again! this is bullshit.. if you go to any panel shop you pay the money and they'll paint your car any colour you want. you dont have to have acquired the paint beforehand lol.

the other fkn annoying thing.. the process you have to go through to accept each prize car.. anyone else get fkd off doing that constantly?

do we have like a sau gt5 group or anything? would be cool too have heaps of us sharing drivers etc

lol yes there is alot of whingeing here.

finally got it and played the hell out of it over the last 2 days. lvl 15 already and i find it hard to stop playing.

sure the shadows are a bit dicky, and in true GT form the sounds are all sorts of wierd. bumping into cars sounds like hitting a wheely bin on the roadside.

but i just dont care. after spending alot of time getting golds in the Nurburgring Merc challenges i was hooked, the physics are freaking awesome behind a wheel. you feel more bumps and bits than GT4. even the old 300 gullwing gets loose over the hills, while the SLS just sticks, and its just a joy to drive. i can see myself loosing alot of real life time flying around the ring in every car i can get my greedy little hands on.

BTW the reason it feels like a GT game is because it is.....if it had been too different i would have been disappointed. and if you think forza looks better then you need a better TV

and yes the trial around the top gear track in the Elise is a bit very annoying....im sure an Elise doesnt just over steer at any speed when you do anything...lol

MORE GOLDS!!!! silver just wont do....

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
