There's no stock standard R35 (which I'm kinda cut about) but there are 5 JGTC R35s in there to choose from.

I went through my affordable car list before (that's a nifty feature! Lists every car from worst to bad that you can afford!) and some were locked out, so I'll be doing the DLC stuff tonight me thinks...

Apparently its something to do with a deal done between Nissan and Polypohny Digital (the developers of the Gran Turismo series). Polyphony helped them develop the user interface and did some of the programming for the new GTR, so there keeping the GTR out of the hands of their arch enemy Microsoft and there direct competitor the Forza series.

You won't regret buying a wheel :P I actually don't know what Forza 3 is like with the game controller, but I had the same thing when playing Forza 2.. you reach a point where you really need the wheel and pedals.

Ok, picked this up a few weekends ago and have to say I'm hooked! I love that driving from the inside of the car is so intuitive as good as outside the car.

So, who plays it online? Can you set up your own races for others to join?

I haven't upgraded to Gold Live but may be worth it for this.

awesome game... dont bother dragging in anything other then a Datsun 500 if the person your racing has a Datsun 500 because you will get owned.

go to the eventlist and access the drag races from there or setup a custom online game and do it from there, if you want to practice, just set it up as private and dont invite anyone, likewise for dori.

i think the best part is making huge amounts of money from selling cars. ive sold so many pos sprinters which i have used a design template i made with snow camo for 150k+ after only spending about 30k on it. Online auctions and fanboys rock.

definately filling the void until GT5 comes along... and i will definately be buying a good wheel setup and invest some time in a racing cockpit for them both.

if anyone wants to add me online, feel free, the gamertag is inark funnily enough

all the top drift scores ive seen have been that setup... i seriously cant drift with the controller... im not even going to attempt setting a score without getting a G25 or 27 first

My Datsun 510 has over 700kw :laugh:

Best i can get out of it though is a 9.8 1/4

I need to learn to tune cars properly cause i know you can squeeze an 8 out of it

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
