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:

    • 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.
