If they made it so you could have 1000hp and make it realistic, it would suck for racing. 1000hp in a skyline would make boost high in the rev range so you'd find yourself have to drop an extra gear on some corners just to keep it on boost. That sort of poweris ok for drags but not that great for track work

Latest round of seasonal events is a bit stupid. Bugger all money or points. They are more like normal races in the game. There are 4 different race types (FF, FR, 4wd and ferrari - F1 cars). There are power limits on the first 3. Hope the ferrari races give better prizes than the ff ones.

Yep. It says that your car has no restriction on mods.

Let us know how you go with the Ferrari challenge. I hope the rewards are worth it - I don't fancy dropping 10 or 12.5 mil on a ferrari F1 car, only to get a few hundred grand as prizemoney.

It's around 133k per race in the Ferrari bit, they are tough though I tried 3 or 4 times this arvo with only traction control but I keep spinning out, I'll give it another few goes tonight but I think I won't be able to win without Skid Recovery on.

No more big prize money but finally somewhere good to race the F1 cars.

why did they stop the huge amounts of points and money..that was what made you keep going with aspec, otherwise your doing indy 200 laps over and over or laguna seca..

BTW, how long does the suzuka 1000 take in an x1, thats my next endurance race????

I'm about 2.5 million short of the 2010 f1, so i won't be doing those races

bought the formula GT recently...def cant afford a fezza F1 car. thats pretty fun to drive.

I have the F10 and the F2007 and am happy to lend them out if you guys actually do want to do the races, I just finished R246 and it was pretty fun though I ended up using skid recovery because I kept spinning out without it.

made the same mistake as I did- you get one of those from a gift car ticket >_<

I'd have over 16m CR if I hadn't bought that

Bob's doing the 24h Le Mans right now :)

Pit strategy is pretty useless for such a race I just leave it on default.

yeah I remember the big lag you get with the 1100hp GTR's but that's the fun part, trying to catch it when the boost comes on tap :P don't need traction control :)

But even an R35 can't push that much out, and this is for the track. There's bolt on kits for every day driving that pull more than the 850 flywheel hp that's the max of the R35 tuning in GT5. I think it's more the case that they don't want someone with a 150k car beating the pants off the high end cars.

All 6 of my Bob's are now at Level 40. Next stop is to get the X1 over 100,000km. Quite close now, that thing has been so very heavily beat on.

Still waitng for the long-tail F1 GTR to show up in the UCD :rant: I've seen the Silk Cut le mans Jag twice now :( I hope i'm not missing something here, like your A-spec level needing to be 30+ or sumsing (doubt it though)

    • Nice, thanks for sharing your progress....that's a pretty long list you are putting into it!
    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
