Adjust your gear box to set the high speed higher.

All the races are easy if you use 11ty KW cars with all the mods and good tyres. Sunday Cup in a Veyron FTW!

But go and win the light-weight up in a stock Midget.

I've been trying to make it my challenge to win everything in 100% stock car (its a good way to save lots of $$$ for buying cars too!)

But it definitely increases the challenge of the game. It's too easy to make the game easy though...

Runs great for me, I havnt Noticed Any drop in frame rate or performance in any race, no matter how many cars. and I have the very first PS3's that came out.. must just be you :(

I've seen mine do it a few times.

Damn you guys make it sound so good. How does it compare to Forza Motorsports 3? That game kill GT5 because of the tyre temperatures, engine swaps, drivetrain swaps, visual modifications, simulation damage etc. Just asking what you guys would prefer... ;)

My wife came into the office today with gt5 in her hand then gave me a bj in the car. I am still wondering what the hell she did wrong.

LOL maybe she didn't do anything wrong but if your willing to try your luck, tell her you can't believe she didnt get you the G27 steering wheel.

Just bought the collector's edition today from JB hi-fi highpoint who had 20% of games/dvds today (due to some VIP event). $103. Thought I'd spring the extra $30 or so for the Apex book, which I couldn't find being sold anywhere separately.

The APEX book is awesome. It's 300 pages and details the history of the car and has a big section on improving driving skills (in-game and IRL). I couldn't find it anywhere else being sold separately so I had to buy the collector's edition (CE).

The voucher you get in CE lets you d/l from PSN 5 chromeline cars:

  • Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro Chrome Line Edition
  • BMW M3 Coupe Chrome Line Edition
  • Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640 Chrome Line Edition
  • Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe Chrome Line Edition
  • Shelby Cobra 427 Chrome Line Edition

They are nice, but if I had my time again, I would have waited until I REALLY needed them for special events before downloading them. When I remember back to previous GT games, my fondest memory was actually starting at the start with a MX-5 or some other cheap car and gradually modifying it bit by bit by the earnings I scrounged from each race that I barely won. At the same time I would take the licence exams, and through these and the beginner races, my skill and experience would gradually steadily develop with the capabilities of my car. It was this development that made it so addictive and challenging. You always wanted to get back to the game to tune your car and win some more cash to spend on it. You developed a close relationship with your car, because it was unique, it was your first car, and you had "grown up" with it. You always had a soft spot and a place in your garage, and heart, for that first car, no matter how awesome you became later.

With GT5 I made the mistake of downloading the chromeline cars at the start, and it totally spoils the whole game when you go through beginner classes destroying Civics with your LP640. It's like going through Call of Duty with god mode from the start. What makes a game good is challenge and character/car development, along with your own development - and these are missing when you use the chromeline cars at the start, especially as you can't modify them. Sure, I could fake crapness and ignore the 5 awesome cars in my garage and use a Fiat Punto, but they're always too much of a distraction. It totally cheapens the whole experience, and demotivates you from playing the game. I think the designers overlooked this fact when they introduced this feature.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
