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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
