i have never played forza so i cant really compare, i have been a gt fan all my life and i hate xbox and their stupid controlls so i will also never be a forza man, im sure forza would be fun, and possibly more entertaining as a day to day game, but in the terms of driving i think the gt series at the moment would be hard to beat.

im not sure how many settings and what settings can be done on forza and i have seen alot of people say that gt5's settings dont work on the cars, but that is absolut bolloks, if i purchase a car and fully modify it, take it to a track as it is, there is atleast 10sec in alterations that can be done.

from the videos i have seen, the graphics are a little ordinary, and it is a proven fact that forzas lap times with the same car, tyres track ect are 5 -8 seconds quicker then gt5 and also about the same 5-8 sec faster then real life. i also think the physics int gt5 are very good, nothing can be like real life but revs over bumps and all that stuff are there, id like to know if lowering the pressure of tyres in forza actually decreases tyre wear very very fast around the track, because if it doesnt then its a bullshit option.

the damage on the cars in gt5 doesnt show very well sure, but its new and needs perfecting, forza crash's dont look amazing and real either.

i also saw a list of cars for forza a few pages back

2 rx7s

1 gto

standard 32 33 34 gtr v specs

4 standard sti's

4 evos

no nismos

there are heaps of interesting cars missing

i have a fully modded

89 rx7

92 rx7

99 rx7 bathurst

00 rx7 rz

02 rx7 spirit r

thats just rx7s, lets not get into the 12 different year and model gtrs with different max powers at different rpms, im not even including race cars, then theres evo 1 - x, about 15 stis

i do like the sound of some of the cars in forza, its cool to hear something different, i also must agree for the first month of gt5 it was a little painful, but once you get going, the different cars and different options gets me on there pretty often

iv won every race and ive had most cars, the fun for me is racing against my ghost and perfecting my laptimes

i can see how forza would be fun, but from all the videos i have seen it is simply too arcadie compared to gt5, arcadie wins with %90 of the public, but for the true driving experience i beleive gt5 is the winner

its like the age old fifa vs pro evolution, fifa sells bucket loads more... but what do the footballers play???

A few things.

You haven't played Forza.

You're guessing at the 5-8 seconds, the test was done with a pro driver and a 'veteran racing gamer' in Forza 1. Unlike GT, the physics engine in Forza has actually improved with every game.

You list cars that are in the game as missing.

Yes, even old Colin Mcrae Rally games shit all over GT5 and Forza 4 for realistic damage but at least Forza 4 generally makes sense.

yes its true, i havnt played forza, it looks like fun it does, but from the videos the graphics dont look as good,

as for the car list, iv searched and found the same lists, it only states 3 sandard rx7s, but lets not compare the amount of cars in the game... its silly gt5 has 1031

also if a game comes out originally with poor physics, there is more room to advance the next game,

this is a silly debate on my part i guess as i havnt played forza, but i find it hard to beleive that forza will ever trully compete with gran turismo, the gt5 network is massive, racing teams are willing to put a person who wins a gt5 competition behind the wheel of le mans cars for crying out loud. and they have won...

from what i have read and my thoughts on x box, i cant see me enjoying forza more then a hard battled online race of gt5

CBF reading rest of thread.

Got both GT5 and Forza 4 at release dates........

gt5 has its merits, it's a little... more realistic in different things.... but...

Forza 4 is better, and will continue to get better with later releases....

and I've owned all bar the prologues of GT series....

/thread.

been playing rivals - drift mode around maple valley...... absolutely love it, currently time is consumed by bf3 but as of mid last week was top 3% of A-class 373kw car around maple.

Fair enough yes they play real football, and basketball players play real basketball, but don't tell me you think sportsmen don't play their sports on consoles

Come on maaaateee

they probably do, but not as a 'simulator'. they wouldn't be expecting any sort of realism from it

GT5 has an impressive number of cars but christ there is a lot of filler. Seriously, the Ford GT with no stripe is a separate car? In that case Forza has an infinite amount of cars.

i'm a GT fan and i will gladly accept that as a big flaw. they didn't need to put in 360 different versions of the rx7 or mx5 or even GTR.

lol, this guy needed some burning.....who starts a comparison with "ive never played the game but"

but as per usual you always drag your opinion into it, and spout some shit that just aint true. GT5 physics are faaaar beyond what they were even in gt5 prologue.

The important bit there is 'with every game' I didn't say GT never improved.

^does it show you your time and where it ranks against the xbox community.

It shows you your best time against every single online users best completed lap in that race, including what assists they used, what performince index their vehicle was and you can download their ghost to see what they did.

Well, a bit Sandra Sully on this one but better late than never.

The most interesting thing will be Porsche vs RUF. I have the season pass so I think I get this one for 'free' too.

Ive had 1,2,3,4 and now 5 of the gt series. They are unbeatable as a simulation and ive spent so many hours on GT5 over the last 2 or so years, however there seems to be a lack of fun at times when comparing to some street racing games such as Midnight club and the earlier need for speed's. Obviously these games do not have the longevity or proper phyics like gran turismo, but they have some good features like the customisation, free roam racing etc.

It looks like Forza is probably the most complete game on the market. Such a shame its on 360 as i hate xbox controllers and i will never get one.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
