that is really cool Bodo.

May have to get you to build one for me ;)

thats nutz! I like it but I agree with Bodo that screen may be a bit over the top. But awesome setup mate.

Now to find a racing seat

Any nice car seat will do. The lighter the better, as it is by far the heaviest part of it all.

lol, nice. Maybe a slight bit of screen size overkill? nice looking rig there man.

Ive moved my PS3 to another room, so I dont have to kick the wife out for a few days:)

bloody hell! Crank that surround sound up! And just wear a helmet you'll be right from the incoming objects

Thanks dudes - The screen is a great size for big blockbuster movies and party gaming (Wii / WiiU / Kinnect etc), but yeah, it's a bit of overkill for racing sim. I play Gran Turismo, iRacing and Rfactor on it, and the only thing I would change would be the height of the Sim rig in comparison to the screen. If I could get the whole rig 12 inches higher or so, it would be fine. But you find yourself looking up at it a bit in it's current state. Still, it's awesome fun just the way it is, so I'm in no hurry.

Also, I'm slightly embarrassed to say there is a photo getting around of me sitting in it playing GT5 with my helmet on...

been playing it for last 2 hours,

not too bad, very similar to gt5.

not a big fan of the new menu layout

heaps more rims to choose from and can change the sizes of them. modification to engine etc are still the same and very basic, would of liked more detail towards mods

a few more exterior mods are available aswell

driving wise nothing too different and cant realy tell if the sounds are any better

Mt Panorama is as good as I was hoping. Not spectacular, but better than any other version before it (Shift / Grid etc) ... The shadows and signage across the top of the mountain is glitchy for me though, did anyone else notice that?

Have played it for a couple hours today, its good but at the same time its really only a minor evolution of gt5 imo. Car physics are a bit better, but tyre noise is just as bad as it was before, and engine noise doesnt seem noticeably improved to me. Graphics look a bit better than GT5, but its not a huge improvement. Apparently theres an update coming that will improve the sound, but im not holding my breath.

Mount Panorama track is very close to reality imo, I lived there for a few years and drove the track a lot, they have pretty much nailed the elevation changes and the general feel of the track. I would say that the lighting they have gone for makes it seem a bit wierd though, it feels like there should be more shadows on the road or something. They also forgot to put in the HWP car parked on the side of Conrod straight :P

I'd say if you loved GT5 and want more of the same, or havent played GT5, then GT6 would be worth it, but otherwise it may not really be worth it.

Not sure what other retailers are charging for it btw, but i picked it up from Big W for $68 for the standard edition

I got it from big w today too. Haven't played it too much but agree with the 2 posts above. Tyre squealing is kind of realistic though. Tyres do squeal quite a lot in real life when tortured.

Only have 1 car so far, so can't comment, but I have a good surround system, do didn't find the gt5 sounds that bad. Especially when you take into account that the sounds change with different views, just like they would in real life. A car sounds different from the front, back and inside the cabin in real life, so it makes sense they should in the game too.

Tire squeal is better. Throwing a 35 GTR into forest elbow and they protest :)

I drove Bathurst in January. They've nailed it. Other than previously mentioned lack of shadow. Car sounds in general are better. But the 32 gtst sounds a bit crap. Suburas soundsuch improved.

i have driven a few cars that dont sound half bad like the toyota 86, old ford GT40. engine and valvetrain noises are still too over the top and seem to drown out the exhaust noise when in the cockpit. im pretty sure all you hear in a car with race pipes is the sound of glorious blood gushing out your ears..

sounds aside, theres definately a change in how the cars handle and feel. it feels more 'busier' than before or sort of 'squirmier', lol. i think thats a good thing?

menu is awsome

used car dealer gone is awsome

larger diameter wheels is awsome

having to turn traction control off every time is beginning to be a pain in the ass

occasional frame-rate lag on replays

disappointing that the mods are basicly the same

getting alot of glitchy shadows in game.

180 cones!? gtfo

agreed, although the traction thing is only once per car.

farkin lawl!

So gonna try that when I get home

Cheap timber fold out saw horse works well too. My friend uses one for his, and it slides neatly infront of an arm chair

Also I'm really liking the new menu, the ability to change cars on the fly whenever I want is good.

Still haven't setup the wheel, as the lower hp cars don't need it lol

need, no. More fun, yes :)

PSN names guys!! Resnort is me

sounds like a lot of the good aspects are just improvements from the annoyance of the last game. No thanks, ill pass.

looking more and more like what GT4 was to the PS2. Except less transformation

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
