I wish there was a way to get a proper dos setup on a modern computer so you could run old games without dicking around. Especially just using a dos menu program. I think the one I used to use as a kid was quick menu. I still have some of my old games from when I was a kid. Some dos based, some early Windows based. I have need for speed 2, 3 and 4 all on cd, and x-wing.

I downloaded the demo and the driving physics are definitely different to GT5. Using the R35, turn in is much sharper and you have more of an idea of how far you can push the grip you have. Graphics are a little sharper but the main thing was the clarity of distance. Sound is only slightly improved.

Check out Dosbox, or if you're lazy you can get X-Wing from gog.com.

Fairly sure the older NFS games can be made to work with Windows 7, as I got my original copy of NFS:SE to work after some fiddling.

I've used dosbox in the past.

I know that NFS 3 works in Windows xp. I had it on my work computer for a while. Was pretty heavy on resources though.

Jap Devs are failing big time with new gen consoles. First it was the legendary Winning Eleven aka PES to be overtaken by FIFA now FORZA has overtaken GT. GT5 was absolutely shit! I returned the game back within 30mins of purchasing it. Lets hope GT6 is alot better. I wish we had Forza on PC !

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
