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 Rfac

i agree, its a game, good one too, any one else having fun with it? i am,,, or does everyone have sand in vaginas atm?

no sandy vag here, loving it.

Just built an ElCamino. dead stock 2 speed powerglide and almost 800hp of supercharged burnout machine. lasts about 2 seconds before I plow it into a wall :)

Having fun, though some of the supercars like the 458 and Aventador handle like crap.

Ive only bought old supers so far (Diablo GT is fun) so I expect that from them. the veyron is a large heavy tire squealing lump of dead weight. but still fun

add me on psn :) qik33

Done, I've been chasing your Liscence times. do you play controller or wheel?

Nearly finished this 100%, quite easy really, even the super license and races are not that hard. Even though in super races it rains, you don't even have to change tires, every race I just ran hard slicks the whole time.

I'm still loving the game. Getting jack of all the mandatory updates though every time I switch the damn thing on!! I have reasonably good internet speeds, but over an hour to d/l a 1.2gb update is just ridiculous!! I turn the game on because I want to play it NOW, not in an hour... Gah... 1st world problems, I know, I know...

You could always sign out of psn before loading the game and see if that stops it. Or turn off the network settings to stop it connecting to the internet and checking for updates.

But the updates don't bother me too much. Only took about 20 mins for that 1.2gb update for me.

65% thru so far. having lots of fun on the side with fast cars instead of smashing though to the end.

Z06 Corvette has ruined the game

as far as I know there was only 1 of this size, there have been several tiny ones but they only take a second.

there's been two 1.2GB updates. The "Day1 patch" and either 1.01 or 1.02 was 1.2Gb as well - can't remember which.

I'm still playing it occasionally, but think it's a fair step backwards from GT5. Less features, worse menu system - the most obvious example is you used to be able to veiw cars in your Garage and get to their settings by simply clicking on them. Now to do the same you have to click on them, then change into that car, then click O three times. Nice one... i would have much prefered the handful of new cars and tracks to just be DLC's for GT5, but that wouldn't have generated any hype and probably wouldn't have got anything like the amout of sales as they did by releasing it at GT6.

I'm with Warps. GT6 can stop trying to call itself a simulation. If you put racing slicks and a brake upgrade on a fiat, it will not do forward somersaults in downhill braking areas (eg at Bathurst Forest Elbow). Also, if you put slicks on a porsche it will not go into a slow motion roll over if you touch a ripple strip at high speed. "Simulation" my arse. GT6, your new physics model is a POS!

I was thinking about this yesterday (while playing gt6). If gt6 was a true simulator, when racing at a track with long straights in a stock skyline, you'd have a sudden loss of power and a message would come up saying that your turbo just spat it's exhaust wheel. Our when racing a gtr you'd have oil starvation issues, or when driving a Silvia and sitting on the start grid bouncing on the limiter before taking off, you'd have a rocker arm let go, lol. Or as your skyline got older you'd have to replace your coils to get rid of a misfire, lol.

Lol. Not to mention when you miss a braking marker and T-bone a Ferrari Dino at full noise, you wouldn't just idle back onto the track and get stuck back into racing.... You'd run and hide in another state under a different name.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
