No one will ever forget that thread man. Shit was epic. Just live with it.

the fact that the question was even asked it mega LULZ. the fact that it was even contemplated was nearly as funny. there's nothing like a set of big wheels to make it look like your brakes are off a pushbike, LOL.

Ive been playing for a bit now and have just reached level 17. Been reading all the reviews and would have to agree the games awesome fun but has some flaws. The main one for me would probably be the fact that you can upgrade your car to a point way beyond what your competitors cars are. And also that most of the time you can enter an overpowered car in races. As for possible soloutions, i would have liked to have seen a power/upgrade restriction which rises with your level. So at first you can modify your engine with exhuast, intake and basic engine tuning. Then later as you progress through the levels you are able to turbo/supercharge/ increase engine capacity. Cool thing about that would be that you might be able to make your old cars faster, like say the first cars you buy such as 180sx/skyline's, would eventually be uograded to power levels the same as the super cars in the game. And not be restricted to low power levels.

Anyway gonna get back to playing.

I just ripped out Rfactor the other day for a little bit of fun, and it shows what a difference there is between sims and games. Not saying Rfactor is perfect, but some of the things talkes about here are in a 4 year old PC game.

The physics are a lot more realistic than GT4 (haven't driven GT5 yet, so I'll reserve judgement and not comment)

Crashing does NOT sound like hitting a wheelie bin lol. You can almost feel the pain when you hit a solid object

If you mod your car too much it puts you up into the next class

Start modding the car and it can quickly become an undriveable POS if you stuff up too many settings. I was setting faster times with a stock car with sports tyres than with a whole heap of mods.

Tyre and damage models can be adjusted to be time dependant and rates accelerated

Interior view looks pretty good, and you can turn off all the HUD stuff so you only have a speedo and tach to give you vital stats.

The AI isn't too bad, and if you bump them they are just as likely to crash as you are (hehe not that I'd ever do that). They actually try to avoid running into you, and you can adjust their aggression

Not suggesting it's perfect, or better than GT5 (again I haven't played it, so not in a position to comment). What I really like about it is how everything is adjustable, so you can dial in as much or little realism as you like.

Apart from night driving- that blows. Have these people never heard of spotties? I used to love the night stages in rallying, but I've yet to see a computer game that simulates night rallying or racing very well.

All the GT games have allowed you to max out the power well above the power levels of your opponents cars. in gt4 though your A spec score was lower if your car was much more powerfull than your opponents.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
