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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
