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.

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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
