Well its taken 2000 and something days well lets just call it 5 years and not be picky to get to our PS3's but it has finally arrived...

Last night i was lucky enough to grab a copy of GT5 (my wife rocks) and get stuck into it...

After a long hour of Loading the 8 gig of data onto the PS3 GT5 was ready to rock!!! (it saw the deletion of various demo games housed on my hdd but nothing was getting in the way of installing GT5)

The intro to this game is just fornominal... I'm sure by now it will be smashed all over youtube but the creators have gone to the extremes from the word get go!!!

My first view of the home screen was impressive it had a neat yet complicated layout which you just knew this was going to be extreme. With so many options on one dashboard there is no way its going to be all over in a week....

The first and most basic licence seemed to be the obvious starter, get a feel for the cars the game and the track.. I have been playing GT5 Prologe for quite a while now and GT5 just blows it away. The detail on the dash within the cars and the track themselves are just something else. Moving along we get to some S turns to pass another licence test. With GT5Prologue breaking mid corner was never a sin... It would possibly put you into some form of understeer but nothing like GT5... I think real life disaster would be the best way to describe what happened to my car as it pinned me off tail first into a wall... (please no reminders)

I'm currently sitting on Level 7 with what looks to have an exciting 24 levels of Licence.

Having a quick look over the car list its impressive. There is a live used car section with everything from the cheap to the classics.. The used car section offers cars with low km and also those with high km. The maintenance division provides oil changes to engine rebuilds... All that you would expect from racing a car..

I give GT5 the thumbs up!!!!

Also paid $77.97 at Big W Southland, last one they had left on the shelf so was happy to get it. Couldn't go earlier in the morning like I planned so very happy I found a copy, would have been very angry if I didn't get a copy today.

I'm installing the game right now, taken about 30 mins so far. Was hoping to have a play before I go to work in another hour but looks like I'll have to play later tonight unfortunately! Lucky I'm a very patient person :bunny:

I already picked the first few cars I'm going to buy in the game, how sad is that?

I had a problem with mine starting up. It just says "accessing HDD, do not turn off whilst HDD light flashing etc" Then it shows an [OK] button to click on but nothing happens and you can't click on it.

Turns out it is the DJ Hero turntable receiver. Unplugged it and works fine.

Apparently same problem with Guitar hero and other USB accessories.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
