oh and i managed to roll a car for the first time (my N1 gtr) on saturday on the trial mountain track. twice in the 1 lap, LOL. first time was on the very first corner (trying to be a smart arse and weaving between cars off the start line rather than going around the outside). the second time was at the last corner of the track. you come down the hill and have the chicane before the start line. i cut the right hand bend a little bit too much and flipped it. still ended up winning the race easily though, LOL.

my B-spec drivers are still retarded... as you said, no taking the inside line, etc..

my best AI guy is now level 25, so he doesn't brake stupidly early for corners anymore and takes pretty neat lines- But he's still prone to overtaking on the long side a fair bit

I guess by the time he gets to around lev 30, he'll be better than me :'|

erm..... i do that sometimes...... lol

oh and i saw another mildy amusing name. T. Mckinney. i just pretended that it was Todd Mckinney, that silly douche from dancing with the stars, and ran him off the road and into a wall at the first corner.

Isn't the Zonda a famed premium super detail car?

its funny how forza fanboys such as this guy seem to be more interested in trying to pick apart GT5 than actually playing their precious forza.

whatever makes you feel a little better about the forza series being owned several times over in sales bro..

If I cared about sales I'd buy Black Ops. GT5 took 12 days to get to 5.5M, Black Ops sold 7 Million copies....on day 1. I still hate it.

I don't play Forza 3 that much anymore. I played it a fair bit when it was new though, over a year ago.

and from what i see of that pic, what it says is "GT5 have missed out the tiniest little detail on the zonda, but the actual graphics are a buttload better"

the initials are randomly put with a bunch of surnames from a list...some of the surnames are typos on purpose I would think, like Weber I saw.

still haven't tried online yet, think I want to get all the gold licences :)

my bro and i have come to the relisation that once you hit endurance races you will have too race them over and over and over to reach the 24h races..

we are both around the same stage on level 23 and finished every a spec race we have unlocked as well as every specail event besides some of the AMG challenegs, so you will need to re do races a lot.

online races are so good when there are fair restrictions and if only there were exp points for online races then this problem would be fixed..

i dont really mind doing races over and over but by looking at the exp points needed to reach those higher levels you will need to re do some of those endurance races like 50 times

yea it does get fkn repetitive doing the same races all the time. does anyone know if you get xp for online races? that would at least help a little bit

I'm wondering whether there may be updates down the track with extra events in it. Wouldn't suprise me if there were

yea thats the beauty of the next gen consoles with online access the creators can just change the game however they like by releasing patches/expansions via dlc and essentially everyone has access to it.

rather than back in ps2 days when you bought a new game and that was that

I know it probably wont happen, but I will be stoked if they decide to bring Spa Francorchamps as a track in a download eventually

Highly doubt it will happen but you never know. Should have been in the game from the beginning, I love the flow of the track

to be honest, i can see gt5 seeing the ps3 through until the end. they really have no need to create a whole new game from scratch when they can just keep adding things to this one. i mean they cant really take the graphics any further the framerate suffers in parts as it is.

and i've just gone a whole day without playing gt5 for the first time since release.. it feels wierd

currently doing my first B-spec Mx-5 4hr event with 4 Bobs- my 2 good guys, and two aggro n00bs I'm training. gunna win this by over 10+ laps to 2nd place regardless. gotta do it 2 more times to get to L26.

and in the mean time, I've figured out to get from level 30 to level 32 (which unlocks the Nür 4h) will take over 1.8 million xp- which means I'll have to run the Suzuka 1000 kay event at least 6 times (at ~6 hours a pop)

lucky my PS3's only a few months old! no one could ever complain GT5 is 'easy to finish'...

    • 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.
