Has anyone done any of the seasonal 4 races that came out today? They are super easy like round 3. the highspeed ring one in the jtcc cars was a piece of piss. was in the lead by the first corner of lap 4 (8 lap race), won by ages. was doing sub 1 minute laps wit a best of 58.112. i was using the woodone gtr like what is posted above, tuned up to 701hp

Ooooo new ones already? sweet

yes the nascar race is easy, but i found if i drove gently i'd eventually just hit the gas a bit too hard while at lower than rediculous revs and i'd spin on the way out of a corner...so i just flogged it around :) seemed to work well, and more practice around the ring. and more fun IMO, im in nooo hurry to finish the game. man i love that track :)

new 1tb per month cable plan, now for some online haha!

1tb? fkn hell im sick of hearing about all these awesome internet plans everyone has that we cant get in nz. our isp's give us a pitiful amount of data per month depending on the plan (the biggest are like 40gb) and so help you god if you go over your cap the isp bends you over their knee and spanks your ass raw while their best mate shafts you with excess data charges.

My plan recently went from 50g per month to 1tb as well without even being told by Optus.

On topic, I'm stuck in an A-Spec rutt at level 30 I seriously don't wanna do the Suzuka 1000. B-Spec on the other hand is motoring along nicely at level 34.

the suzuka 1,000 is only a set number of laps correct? just grab the fastest car possible and it'll cut the time down. its the tsukuba 9Hr endurance that i am trying to avoid. no matter what car, its still 9 hours pinch.gif

^ yes, 172 laps

meanwhile...

after 8 days of running the PS around the clock to finish the enduros, B-spec is done. it gets a well earned rest tonight

So you got to level 40? How many times did you have to run Le Mans 24 hours to get from 35-40?

I did a few other shorter B-spec enduros when I didn't want the PS3 tied up for a whole day, but i think it was 9

if you go from 34 to 35 with no/nearly no extra xp, you'd need to run Le Mans 11 times to hit 40

finished Nurburgring a while ago and got another MP4 as a gift car (which i knew about), and got a Formula GT from the mystery ticket. doh!- i shouldn't have bothered buying the used one for 4.8m cr! =\

Yeah- I read about the possibility of doing that the other week.

Would be pretty sweet if you didn't need to physically be at the console to start the races. That'd make it a lot easier to get to lev 35 if you could remote in from work.

Connected my PS3 to the internet today (wireless) & in order to play GT5 online I needed to download the latest version 1.05... It seems to download fine, it starts installing & once it gets to 14% it displays 80029564 error. This has happened to me at least 4 times now, I've done some research on this and have come up with a list of possibilities none of which sound concrete. Has anyone had this problem and corrected it?

Grrrrr....all these video gamers and bookfacers at work. im too busy working to do things like that during a work day...even too buggered to play GT most arvo's after work :(

and sry Tomek, no such issues here, cant help ya

i had something similar issue with mine always failing during updates. i ended up jumping on the computer, going into the router settings and having the ps3 excluded from the firewall. i can't remember how to do it (i found out how on some forum i found on google)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
