old and boring much??? falcon driver who spends his time in the wastelands of a skyline forum, you sir must be mad.....or very bored yourself, in which case...sucks to be you.

is there an ignore feature in this forum so i dont need to see this guy anymore? im just not cool enough to get his jokes.

Spa will rock, i hope the DLC dont cost too much. im all for bonnet cam in Dirt and the other codemasters games, but in GT ive always been bumper cam driving( mostly for the clear no nonsense guages). inside view is a bit too restrictive for video game driving imo. unless you have 3 uber screens to do the whole wrap around view (which GT doesnt do anyways i dont think)

If anyone is interested in me running their drivers in b-spec remote races, shoot me a PM.

I'm trying to get back into the game but I only have 1 friend who plays GT5 and has any online drivers available.

when i get around to putting them back online i'll let you know

someone mentioned about ps3's having shitty wifi hardware. i'll second this for the earlier ps3's. my original 60gb console's wifi was a complete waste of time it would drop out constantly. my new one i bought last summer is lightyears ahead with reliability. that said, i still use it wired purely because its a faster connection than wireless-G. if ps3 were wireless-N then i'd probably use it.

i still have to disagree there, mine is the original 40gig unit and still no wifi issues.

although i should run it via cable...seeing as the router is in the same room, and the couch would hide the cable very easily.....but that would require a small amount of effort.

so i started doing an enduro, the Suzuka 1000. you can save it mid race, but only when you come into the pits. and you have to quit GT entirely when you do so. which aint too bad i guess, it forces you to actually come back and finish it. but waiting for a full tank of fuel in the pit stop right as you turn the game on again isnt a nice thing to sit thru at all........

that's how they had the previous saves mid race, and other racing games i've played with enduro races were the same also.

true, but it thought i could at least get out and play arcade mode. or small things like turn off the driving line......(bad idea leaving it on. 100 laps in and its burnt into my retinas)

and hey if any of you guys play online you should have a look at this. (check the upcoming races section)

its a gt5 racing league we regularly have one off events to enter in, occasionally theres even prizes like new games and stuff. theres a new series we're starting next week using the lexus ISF RM and we want more participants, first race is weds 26/10 for anyone interested. for the series we race once a week on wednesday nights and use a points system across the series to determine winners etc. prizes are mostly just bragging rights as we race the same people regularly. its just auzzies and kiwis. we're a mature bunch who take the racing somewhat seriously so theres no kids or other fucktards senselessly trying to bash you into a wall or anything (something that pisses me off with the usual online)

we generally have one series running at a time. so far theres been a super GT series, muscle car series etc. we're just about to get the lexus series underway if anyones interested.

because we're a fairly small group everyone has their say about ideas for whatever kind of series you'd like to see happen.

Damn, I was hoping I could start an enduro then if I got bored of it just play arcade till i got the urge to finish it. And lol at the driving line, I turned it off ages ago, it doesn't really match my driving style, too fast into corners, bounce off other cars to assist the turn, slide off the track sideways into the dirt then flat out till the next turn lol

lol, I never play arcade mode really, its always racing A spec for cash and the fun of it. but i know the feeling, my line isn't to far off. but it is distracting and not really accurate to my braking in particular. some tracks i keep it on....as i have a habit of forgetting about certain corners...>_< it isnt helpful in suzuka. i know that track well

not sure if it came out today, but i only noticed it today :P

the bundle contains:

15 new cars ( R32, R33, R35 race cars included)

100 new paint colours

8 new racing suits/ helmets from NASCAR/ WRC

2 new tracks ( Spa, some kart track)

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
