That is the main thing I suppose, the PS3 is definetely at it's limit with this game. Did any one play it without installing the 8GB onto the hard drive? My god did it take forever to do anything!

Bring on the PS4 and GT6 I say!

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.

this was also in gt4

Enjoying the game for what it is so far :)

Though i find playing with the arrows on the gamepad takes me 10x longer to do say the nascar challenges then what my brother can do with his steering wheel :whistling:

His setup the steering and throttle control makes it so much easier.. oh wells!

anyone find an r33 gtst?

there is no r33 gtst in gran turismo 5.

the japs dont drive whales, they eat them.

just got the international A license with golds all the way.. with a standard controller.. super licence tomorrow maybe

Well I gave in and purchased the game today. It's a decent game for $77. Having played it more, I can say that the driving physics are definitely much better than previous games. Not sure how long i'll stay interested, but it will be good for casual gaming after a long day at work.

As for the people complaining about the lack of smoke in the mirrors or the white lines, honestly, who cares? well you obviously, but why? It would just be a bigger drain on resources and would have to come at the expense of something else. it seems as though people want everything but aren't willing to accept that maybe the ps3 isn't cappable of doing it.

since when is mentioning it the same as complaining about it... I don't really care, I just thought it was strange... we're discussing the game, its good points, bad points and in between... with this much hype and the long wait involved people are going to be critical... I like the game, it seems to get better the more you play, things get harder and more realistic

I bought a Delta Integrale last night to go rallying... which is great fun but the snow sections graphics were pretty poor... I guess your not able to see much when its snowing anyway

hey what do you guys think about making sort of a SAU gt5 group, given that theres heaps of us here.. we could all post our user name up and we can share drivers, cars etc?

or have i missed the boat and this already exists?

thoughts??

Why would you want an R33 gts-t when you can buy the series 3 R33 GTR :ph34r: or better R32 GTR.

I'm finding the game fairly easy tbh, haven't lost a race yet.

ummmmmmmm.... because its rear wheel drive??? And its a car lots of people drive that would love to play with on the game??

Cant believe the GTST isn't in there. What a joke.

I've been doing the AMG special events lately and man the SLS in the intermediate challenge goes good, been managing to get all golds so far but its a bit of a challenge on the full lap run when there is other cars going around at walking pace. :ph34r:

yeah. and in the info at the start it says that slower cars are supposed to drive on the right hand side of the track when faster cars are coming past. i had to overtake a heap that were driving on the left, even on straights.

BTW- The LFA sounds freaking awesome. Especially good when it gets past 8 grand. Just like in Yewtoob vids

Time for another trip to JB for a decent speaker set-up methinks

O'rly, will have to get me the LFA so i can try it out, my R34 GTR sounds pretty decent too with most mods although it sounds like it misses at low revs when i changed the exhaust to the titanium one??? weird.

Try the Grand Touring Garage 1970 Mustang thing.

Costs a bomb but worth every cent. If you get a decent sound system your entire suburb will know everytime you drive it :banana:

    • I sense an out of control build thread coming up lololol. That 450kW goal will end up being 600 to 700kW LOL.
    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back.
