been offline for more than a week...get back and its a big patch. yay. got my '88 countach from the online collectors garagee.

some cool pics, and mighty amounts of game play you guys have been doing by the looks of it. keep it up

oh, anyone played with the clutch much??(G27)

ive read you need to press triangle and blah blah blah before the race starts but after it loads and yadda yadda.....all crap

it works fine, just make sure you use it for every change after touching it, dont flat shift (which is a bit lame), and dont miss anything. it is very rewarding to use once you get used to it. makes for much smoother downshifts especially in that dambed top gear challenge in the lotus

i can only manage 1:37's in my R33 GTR V-Spec LM Limited

Had to detune it to get it into the power range lol. Still, not sure how your supposed to do it in this GTR, looks like the newer the GTR the better

lol.. u said r33

So I see on GTP yesterday that you get 3.7 million xp for winning the Nür 24Hr on B-spec. God only knows how much you get on A-spec; ~6 mil?

Of course since you're already at lev 40, it makes no difference to your levelling- But what an awesome way to turn noobie Bobs into track-meisters in one hit.

Have you reduced the weight of it? but as i said, in my r34 n1 i could only get 1.31's so i hd to use an r35. From memory i didn't change the oil because that would've put me over the power limit so i just put a basic air filter on it and that took it to exactly 493. i also had aero mods on it too

i hope so. hes a average-slightly cool driver, and yet gets flustered and easily hits red while im telling him to ease up. not until he poorly overtakes everyone does he then settle and get into a good rhythm. mind you i only just started B spec...lvl 4. i just dont like doing mods to crappy little cars that won the A spec stuff for me easily

Yep R35 v spec is the way to go..... took my about 5 goes to learn the track properly but I got gold. Struggling with the Fiat challenge though I can only get silver anyone got any tips for golding it?

i didn't even use the v-spec. i just used the normal one and saved myself 100k, LOL

as for the fiat, i too have only got silver. my last attempt i was 2 seconds behind. the big thing i found is that after driving plenty of fast cars, with the fiat you have to remember that you are going much slower, so you ease off the brakes a bit sooner otherwise you wash off too much speed. also on the last corner you can hold it flat the whole way round, however this causes you to run a bit wide, so if you lift off a bit and get a straighter line, and if you are using an auto it should drop back to 4th which will give you better acceleration. if you hold it flat you end up going the same speed at the end of the corner but you are still in 5th and don't accelerate as fast. also draft down the back straight as mush as possible.

what I've learned is when you get a chance to create a driver soon, keep hitting the 'new driver' button until they have as much attitude as possible: it makes them quicker in the long run (which is what you need for being able to start a race and come back hours later to a win)

yeah but the flipside to that is when they're battling an opponent and they're meter goes all the way into the red they'r almost definately going to have a fantastic crash. if your not cheating and your using a proper car so as not to give yourself a stupid advantage then that would probly cause issues?

yeah your both right. it does cause isues. but i can see what shaun is getting at. i would like to be able to walk away in the big races...at least for a while. ill make sure i have a driver on both ends of the scale :)

hot-heads all the way baby

I was winning the Roadster 4hr by 16 laps using a heavily modified car. the ones with maxtreme attitude are always keen to maintain their lead or overtake lap traffic. recognize

Sounds good to me. Only just picked up my second driver (don't get much time to play :() and made sure he was a hothead.

My coolheaded driver doesn't allow me to walk away from a single B-spec race. Even in the early races against 300ZX's etc he becomes so complacent in the 650+hp LFA that he will drop his half lap lead and let others overtake him.

Looking forward to just letting a driver drive on his own.

yup- that's why I retired the cool driver I got second and started again. He was rubbish at being left to it.

Anyone looking to buy a HKS PS3 Racing Controller? I think I see one for sale somewhere cough cough :whistling:

pretty sure someone in this thread bought one. personally i wouldn't waste the money, especially just because it has HKS on it. just get a white-out pen and write HKS on your controller.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
