yeah i noticed that with my old PS2 controller when i got a new one too.

yeah i got the same car FD spirit blah blah '02 (premium one)

thanks for the tips jon, sounds about what im running anyways. and yes overbraking at tsu is the devil. will give it another go soon.

the nascar around the ring........easy to win...but i ran off the track soo many times it took me hours of yelling at it. finally got a good run and was in first before the carousel. yay for a million bucks to waste on old cars :)

seriously tho. who decided that Nascars, which aren't designed to do alot of corners....and put em around that track......which has 170.....

cant say it wasnt fun tho, and with a bit of tweaking the cars drive quite well.

FINALLY!!! got my Tommy Kaira ZZII in the used car lot. loved that thing in GT4...and hopeflly will again. still waiting for my 400R

Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

will do Matt.......cant wait to get it. between the 400R and ZZII they are my fav cars from the last game.

and yes the ZZII is epic mid engine light wieght GTRness at its bestest. in GT4 you could push more than 900hp out of it. havent done it up yet but im guessing thats not gonna happen.

Yeah I ran off in one spot on both laps, if not for that I would have won lol, oh well. Its fun but frustrating when that happens as its such a long two laps. 2nd is good enough for now :) pretty happy considering it was done with next to no tuning

Admire you guys for putting in the hard yards on GT5...

On Lv14 at the moment and I'm really struggling to get into it. I had bought and played all of the previous games in the series right back to the original on the PS1.

For mine, the negatives are far outweighing the positives at the moment. Will keep at it but find that I can't play it for more than 1-2 hours at a time which makes the learning curve even more difficult.

+ Stunning graphics and attention to detail on the cars

+ Amusing gameplay details that show a lot of love for the car

- Braindead AI: when accelerating hard down a straight alongside an AI opponent and you edge ahead, they "pit-manoeuvre" you and you need to be bloody fast / talented to catch the tail after that. There's still the sensation that all the AI cars are on a single predetermined racing line and do not have the depth to mix it up and dice with you; just barge you off or give you a massive love tap up the clacker.

- Unrealistic vehicle performance: my R35 (or 458) struggles to catch the 512BB, or Miura SV or LP400 Countach from a standing start. C'mon, these cars were bloody quick in their time, but would probably struggle to make a 14 second quarter and pale in comparison to the modern machinery. Raises my doubts about the rest of the realism TBH.

- Bewildering myriad of tyre options: Understand the need/want for some tyre variation, but the comfort tyres are completely useless and demand a very different driving style to make them work. Lotus Elise Top Gear test track challenge anyone? Slightest inputs on the wheel = wild oversteer; whether under brakes, under power, or constant throttle if contacted by an opponent.

- Gameplay formula: Despite some interesting new additions like the Special events (Nascar, AMG training, and unique rally gameplay) other elements like the license tests and boring as batsh*t endurance races (as you guys have already mentioned) don't really move the game on IMO.

- Convoluted menu system and loading times: I could get over these if the above problems weren't so apparent to me.

How are you guys getting by despite these issues? Do you guys use a wheel (Logitech G27, etc)?

i'll just leave this here, wasnt sure if it should go in the youtube thread, or here. But this was taken a few nights ago in one of the GT300 rooms online. the offline races just seem a bit boring after racing like this race after race :unsure: Edited by liger

I dont think the game gets to interesting till level 15 when you start unlocking some better events. Alot of the initial events arent very good and I was struggling at one point to keep an interest in the game. Its become alot better now, just wish I had my steering wheel setup ready so I could use it.

I got a thrustmaster Ferrari GT wheel as a gift but im not sure that I like it. Anyone else using one of these?

Its annoying that it isnt a pre configured wheel for GT5 as I have to change the controls to get it to work.....

firstly, did you consider that maybe the cars have been modified to make them more competetive in the race?

shaun, i had one in the used car lot for a week or so. now they generally have one in the online car lot. costs 4.8 million

Yes G27. only way to fly. although all the new Fanatec and thrustmaster wheels look good but very expensive.

yes the AI is rubbish. in Prologue it was fantastic, best AI of any driving game i have played.....and here they did a big backflip.

other than that i got no issues. in reference to the Muira and the 512BB...i think someone at Polyphony fell in love with those, yes they are very unrealistic. but thats good IMO because i love the Muira and its sooooo nice in this game. where in reality they sucked even when new, and caught fire alot lol.

love it

i play the game for the cash so i can buy all the cars i want and love

on another note ZZII fully pimped 743hp and 910kg. bout to strap it around the ring!!! yeehar

my PSN : Resnort for anyone who wants to add me :) dont do alot of online racing yet

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
