. 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....

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
