Veyron... 2nd hand lot??? is it a std or premium?

they don't come premium

you can win one pretty easily. can't remember which event exactly. great for top speed, looks nice in tracking shots in the right colours- but that's it

yeah but GT5 HD is still shit,

GT HD has much better graphics

i dont get it..

gt5 graphics are insane..

and yea the "grand finale" ending movie was a big let down.. was just extended credits.. lame

Edited by jonboy

i played the game for about 5hours and gota over it, returned it back to eb games

i was dissapointed with it, thought GT5 was meant to be Gran turismo HD,

to be honest i have more fun with the r32 gtr in GT HD demo, on that same track then i do in GT5

hmm... 5 hours tells me you didn't do shit.

On a semi-related note, I thought it was "okay" until I bought my black LFA :banana:

I know it isn't the fastest car or the best handling car, but getting pics of a semi-sideways approach to a downhill corner with the exhaust flaming is worthy in every sense of the word :D

my 3.5 cents... regardless of the fact I find it hard to gather the energy to set the wheel up so I dont play it every night... usually only on the weekend... I fkn love the game. The racing feel is pretty impressive, a far jump up in comparison to prologue.

Yea i really really really hate the AI of other drivers & I wish the G27 was properly supported in the game so I could re-map buttons (i think i could be quicker in rally with a handbrake).

Is it worth waiting 4-5 years for? debatable... hence this thread but I love the game.

Worth buying the G27 for? - fk yes. Plus i've noticed the G25 & G27's really hold their value well when selling 2nd hand... so when I do ever get bored i'll not lose too much coin from initial purchase.

I've not ever had my PS3 connected to the net- Have there been any d/l patches for GT5 that I should be getting online for?

there have been 2. the first enables online play. pretty sure that one was 101mb. then you have to do a system update to get the next one. the second one apparently adds mechanical damage in online racing. it's 130mb.

apparently there will be some free downloadable cars available on 24th or 25th of december.

also in future updates some standard cars will be getting upgraded to premium models.

this is also an interesting video showing the performance difference of a SSD compared to a standard HDD in a ps3 for loading times in GT5

oh and i saved a replay of something funny that happened last night. i was doing the british lightweight cup race on the topgear test track. i was in my AC cobra or shelby cobra or whatever one it is. i was up against lotus' etc and was absolutely smashing them. on the last lap i was coming up out of hammer head towards the follow through and i could see the other cars coming down to the first corner. as i was getting to the tyres the cars were at chicago and were going across my path. i just kept the power on and managed to navigate betwen the last and 2nd last car as they crossed my path (they were heading to my left), overtook 2nd last on the right then shot through the gap between 2nd last and 3rd last. i saved the replay of it so i will either take a heap of screenshots of it, or record it on my phone and post it up sometime. i haven't watched the replay yet but i think it should look pretty cool.

In the older GT games the special licenses used to be hard to get gold, but i got gold on all the special licenses within 2 hours, what's the deal with that...?

because of ps3's capabilities being so many lightyears ahead of ps1/ps2 its now way easier to drive consistently and keep a smooth racing line. the test's themselves haven't got easier, but you are able to control the car far more accurately now even with the standard controller, thus making sightly easier to get fast times. anyone else noticed this?

if your not sure what i mean, throw gt4 in and have a go just for a laugh. in basically any car, the moment you hint the car in either direction, it gives the car an aggressive "jerk" in that direction even though such an aggressive movement isn't what you were after. the way it responds is just not realistic like it is in gt5. in gt5 the initial steering responds far more like how it would be done in real life

yea i had a quick look on a local stores online pricing...

I bought from tha same place a 500gb HDD sata for $95.

A 240gb SSD - $695

exactly. in the older games if you got a bit of wheelspin mid corner it pretty much meant you'd be looking at where you had just come from in the blink of an eye. now you can keep feeding on the power and drive out of the slide. i have great fun in the easier races using a high HP car with the traction control off and just blazing the tyres round every corner.

also understeer during braking is much easier to get out of in GT5 as well. you can lift off the brakes and straighten the steering and it will grip up again and you can get back on the brakes. also as you slow down hard on the brakes the front end grip actually improves the slower you get, rather than just continuing to understeer even at 10kmh.

That is SUCH a huge fk up in near all racing/simulation games... just destroys any feeling of realism. Yes GT5 makes me feel like I am really driving a car... not just steering a game.

After a marathon (for me anyways) 6 hour session I had to run down the shops n grab some milk in the new corolla... haha... my wheel/pedal/gear shift setup pretty closely matches the corolla so it was pretty quick trip :)

yea.. they are insanely expensive for not much space. it'll be awesome when they come down in price

I have also looked into this and the price of a SSD drive is pretty high for a decent size one. Thinking of getting one of these.

Ah ok yeah your probably right. Got a nice GTR v-spec so that was alright

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
