Those graphics/gameplay whingers.

USE THE INCAR VIEW on the premium 33GTR around Nurburgring, day/night combo.

Graphics are farking awesome, as is the physics. It handles EXACTLY like it would in real life. (Sport, Hard)

I had a race online in my 32 GTR at the Nurburgring when it was at night....amazing!! Was so hard to see but fun at the same time :blink:

lol more whingers. and no G25/g27 doesnt work on the xpox....awww. pretty lame for a console made by microsoft...and yet microsft based PC's can use them...lol. the fanatec is nice, but its no G27. a bit cheaper too from what i recall.

the Polo around the ring isnt really a good indication of its bumpyness...those things go round there flat and max out at 160 :) try a faster car

one thing i was just thinking.

i played at a friends place today on a controller and it seemed to drive completely differently ( yeah i know, of coarse it feels differnet to a wheel).....but it was very different, then i realised the driving physics were on Novice not Pro, or simulation.

i would be willing to bet a few bucks that the peeps complaining about the feel of the cars not being right is due to this.

turn it up...loose the traction control. tuned my Mach 1 stang up to 595hp today and threw it around laguna. sounds angry, does mad skids aye!!

I've got the wheel set to simulation with max feedback strength (D force GT), and it's a decent likeness of reality. Controller peeps would find it nigh on unplayable in simulation mode.

My Mac F1 has 883hp and weighs 970kg- Even with all the aero mods and slicks it can't be driven with TC off (not anywhere quickly at any rate). TC set to 8 gives the best compromise between allowing a little slip you can avoid with proper throttle use but without the bogging down you get when it's set higher

As expected, Forza 3 EATS this game alive. Cannot believe how pathetic these developers are. I find it sickening that after sooooooo long, the cars STILL sound like absolute SH*T!!

I drove 600HP R34 GTR which sounded like... F**T if i know!!??? A corolla with an exhaust and punched out cat??

Drove an M3... which sounded like what it would've if it was in Gran Turismo 2.

Anyhow tried a few other cars and was SO bloody dissapointed. In general the game still sucks and is still SO FAR behind Forza 3. In forza, if you drive a 600hp car, it FEELS and goes like a 600HP car. You 'feel' the car break traction, the engine climbs through the rev range in a way that is just so much more exciting and realistic.

Also, while they have actually improved the handling physics in GT5, the whip lash effect is still over exagerated & the LSD effect is still not lively enough on low speed stuff.

Anyway im buying an Xbox.

sounds very much like someone who went into this game with having decided his opinion before even playing it.

it sounds like the only way to impress you would be if the game was exactly like forza. you have grown accustomed to the way forza plays and now any racing game that does things any differently, you instantly dismiss as rubbish. try having an open mind next time

every car i've driven so far sounds incredibly accurate. maybe get a decent audio setup? thats probably half your problem right there.

and as for the physics, there are a number of people in this very thread who have verified the cars in-game handle and perform exactly like their own cars in real life.

LSD not lively enough? are you sure forza wasnt set too lively?

whip lash effect too strong? are you sure forza's physics aren't a little too forgiving?

you cant judge the physics as crap if all your comparing it to is forza. try comparing it all to the real thing, then you may criticize.

lol my 700hp R35 GTR just loses traction on anything

this.

forza is waaaaay to forgiving.

oh and whats this about driving physics, is that all the TCS and ABS options?

Every car you've driven sounds incredibly accurate? LMAO. Thats all I had to read to disregard the rest of what you wrote.

OK, I'm very impressed with the physics of the game. The in-car view on the S15 is awesome and it feels like the real thing. I can't wait to get a R33/34 GTR and a Legnum VR-4 to compare them to the real thing.

One thing I've found though is that I've forgotten the layout of most of the tracks because I haven't played a GT game in a few years! So I have to relearn everything now like a noob, lol.

The car sounds are a bit hit and miss, my first car was an s13 which sounded pretty realistic but my fully tuned gtr sounds a bit like a tractor, and my two ferraris sound nothing like any ferraris I have ever heard, and the mercialgo just sounds rediculous.

    • 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.
