Those graphics/gameplay whingers.

USE THE INCAR VIEW on the premium 33GTR around Nurburgring, day/night combo.

Graphics are farking awesome, as is the physics. It handles EXACTLY like it would in real life. (Sport, Hard)

I had a race online in my 32 GTR at the Nurburgring when it was at night....amazing!! Was so hard to see but fun at the same time :blink:

lol more whingers. and no G25/g27 doesnt work on the xpox....awww. pretty lame for a console made by microsoft...and yet microsft based PC's can use them...lol. the fanatec is nice, but its no G27. a bit cheaper too from what i recall.

the Polo around the ring isnt really a good indication of its bumpyness...those things go round there flat and max out at 160 :) try a faster car

one thing i was just thinking.

i played at a friends place today on a controller and it seemed to drive completely differently ( yeah i know, of coarse it feels differnet to a wheel).....but it was very different, then i realised the driving physics were on Novice not Pro, or simulation.

i would be willing to bet a few bucks that the peeps complaining about the feel of the cars not being right is due to this.

turn it up...loose the traction control. tuned my Mach 1 stang up to 595hp today and threw it around laguna. sounds angry, does mad skids aye!!

I've got the wheel set to simulation with max feedback strength (D force GT), and it's a decent likeness of reality. Controller peeps would find it nigh on unplayable in simulation mode.

My Mac F1 has 883hp and weighs 970kg- Even with all the aero mods and slicks it can't be driven with TC off (not anywhere quickly at any rate). TC set to 8 gives the best compromise between allowing a little slip you can avoid with proper throttle use but without the bogging down you get when it's set higher

As expected, Forza 3 EATS this game alive. Cannot believe how pathetic these developers are. I find it sickening that after sooooooo long, the cars STILL sound like absolute SH*T!!

I drove 600HP R34 GTR which sounded like... F**T if i know!!??? A corolla with an exhaust and punched out cat??

Drove an M3... which sounded like what it would've if it was in Gran Turismo 2.

Anyhow tried a few other cars and was SO bloody dissapointed. In general the game still sucks and is still SO FAR behind Forza 3. In forza, if you drive a 600hp car, it FEELS and goes like a 600HP car. You 'feel' the car break traction, the engine climbs through the rev range in a way that is just so much more exciting and realistic.

Also, while they have actually improved the handling physics in GT5, the whip lash effect is still over exagerated & the LSD effect is still not lively enough on low speed stuff.

Anyway im buying an Xbox.

sounds very much like someone who went into this game with having decided his opinion before even playing it.

it sounds like the only way to impress you would be if the game was exactly like forza. you have grown accustomed to the way forza plays and now any racing game that does things any differently, you instantly dismiss as rubbish. try having an open mind next time

every car i've driven so far sounds incredibly accurate. maybe get a decent audio setup? thats probably half your problem right there.

and as for the physics, there are a number of people in this very thread who have verified the cars in-game handle and perform exactly like their own cars in real life.

LSD not lively enough? are you sure forza wasnt set too lively?

whip lash effect too strong? are you sure forza's physics aren't a little too forgiving?

you cant judge the physics as crap if all your comparing it to is forza. try comparing it all to the real thing, then you may criticize.

lol my 700hp R35 GTR just loses traction on anything

this.

forza is waaaaay to forgiving.

oh and whats this about driving physics, is that all the TCS and ABS options?

OK, I'm very impressed with the physics of the game. The in-car view on the S15 is awesome and it feels like the real thing. I can't wait to get a R33/34 GTR and a Legnum VR-4 to compare them to the real thing.

One thing I've found though is that I've forgotten the layout of most of the tracks because I haven't played a GT game in a few years! So I have to relearn everything now like a noob, lol.

The car sounds are a bit hit and miss, my first car was an s13 which sounded pretty realistic but my fully tuned gtr sounds a bit like a tractor, and my two ferraris sound nothing like any ferraris I have ever heard, and the mercialgo just sounds rediculous.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
