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.

    • This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking 
    • Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?
    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
