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)

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
