I whipped it out for the first time in ages on the weekend... took well over an hour to update a measly 900mb. It was fun for a while, but the same old niggles still put me off.

  • Races add challenge by putting you 25 secs behind the leader and expect you to catch up in 7 laps in a 400pp FF
  • Some car sounds are shonky
  • Wanting to buy a specific car and they remain hidden in the used car section for an eternity
  • crap UI
  • music changing songs at every new menu. Could learn a few lessons from EA games.

Attempted 3D on ma new TV, and of course the 3D settings dont have a test option, so you have to exit settings, load up garage and load up a car (which takes a frustratingly long time) and if youre not happy, have to go back to the settings for more trial and error.

I was raised on GT3, had high hopes for this game. one day i'd like to play a good console car sim

i did 3d on my mums tv, its was ok. Not mind blowing.

What wasn't ok was a few months later (2 weeks ago) when i put the game back on my current TV for the first time since, just as the main menu is to appear - no picture but full sound. Major pain in the arse, but a few googles later told me i needed to create a new PS3 profile, load up the game, write down the exact sequence of button selections to turn OFF 3D settings, and then do it blindly. Worked but what a pain!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
