cheers, its modeled on what mine looks like :). well as best possible with the terribly limited selection of wheels that GT offers.

The 86 is slow, but for its PP its awesome.

fully done up its alot of fun, i just love how well balanced it is it gets around trial mountain pretty dam fast :). and i do like the look of it

Found em! nice.

Maybe we should have a sub-topic for GT5 photography. I get bored enough to actually do this crap... and obviously so do others (tho probably not many).

Done and done!!

pics and shit here. feel free to add what you already did here GT5 pics and vids

*and the 400R is showing up everywhere now....i have one in each color.

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

Finally got all gold in the licences, got a little bored of racing online so I thought I'd try for all gold licences instead.

That IB-1 400m wet stopping in the GTR was pissing me off, apparently with the updates they turned off the abs so it's quite difficult. Tried for about an hour yesterday and gave up, woke up this morning with a sneeky little idea and got it after 5 goes.

i'll just leave this here:

WANT to race a Lamborghini Aventador or Bugatti Veyron around Mount Panorama? Well, soon you'll be able to fulfil your dream for less than the price of a speeding fine. Australia's most famous racetrack is set to join the one of the world's most famous computer games, Gran Turismo.

Developers from the game's creators, Polyphony Digital, were spotted in Bathurst recently taking detailed photos and videos to create a digital replica of the famous circuit; and Bathurst regional council has confirmed it has entered into an agreement with the developers.

Making the ranks of Gran Turismo is a major coup for Bathurst. The famous 6km street circuit joins a select group of real circuits to be turned digital for one of the world's most popular PlayStation games.

It will join the world famous Nurburgring, Le Mans, Daytona, Indianapolis, Monza, Laguna Seca and the Top Gear test track as well as the Japanese circuits Fuji, Suzuka and Tsukuba.

Exactly when you'll be able to play Bathurst on PlayStation remains unclear. It is likely to be added to the sixth instalment of the series, which has been under development since last year. But a release date for Gran Turismo 6 hasn't been announced.

Despite the addition of Australia's most famous track, it is unlikely that you'll be able to live out your V8 Supercar fantasies because the local racing series already has a deal with Gran Turismo rival Forza Motorsport

Cant wait!

Oh, and I am trying like hell to upgrade my bspec driversn and running quite a few remote races atm, so if anyone wants to do the same, add me on the psn (stinkyrooster, natch ;) )and i will start racking up races with your b-spec also-rans - just make sure you set all the b-spec drivers you are not currently using to "share with friends"

yeah spotted this on Bookface the other day.....but why are they building another already? why not just expand on GT5 and slowly make it better :(

i guess that wont make as much money.....

I would hope they would update GT5... they dragged their arse releasing gt5 so much, gt6 is at least 5 years away.

+ they will add it as DLC - i would pay for an upgrade that included a mt panorama. It sucks its never existed before.

will add you over the weekend

Quit whinging console boys, I waited years for TF2 and got a friggen cartoon...I hope GT6 turns out to be a kid friendly incarnation of Wacky Races.

believe it or not, some console fags are also PC nerds :blink:

i didn't whinge i was complimenting the game?

TF2 is butloads of fun, and we all waited umpteen years for Duke. which despite being disappointing, i still had alot of fun with.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything 
    • 🏆 Skyline Supremacy Meets Mount Panorama Magic 🏆 Join SAU NSW as we take the long way to Bathurst, the home of GTR greatness. Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
