I'm not a gamer and have not played anything at all since GT2, but someone gave me a PS3 so I got GT6. First thing I did was buy a Skyline and bau bau, so disappointed with the sound. Anyhoo, once I got over that, everything else is pretty good. Although it certainly hasn't blown my mind in terms of improvement over GT2.

Without any free cars it kinda restricts you to just modifying the hell out of whatever you got - in my case a Swift Sport then a new STI WRX have blitzed everything - even the Veryon ha ha.

Now, one thing I wanted to ask was, how does one do a timed quarter mile in GT6? I used to find GT2 quite useful for getting a rough idea of what ET something would run with a few mods, can't seem to find that function in GT6.

It was never going to be massively different from previous games. I don't understand why people think it will be. Yes the physics have a bit of a different feel, but it was never going to be like changing mario kart and gran turismo. And I can guarantee that gt7 will only be a small evolution of gt6, and gt8 will just be an updated gt7. So if you expect there to be massive changes, leave the franchise now and find a really shit racing game that they are planning on making a sequel of and hope it's better. I'm sure that the forza games don't get revolutionary changes between games. Just updates to menus, tracks, cars and mod features.

Add me if you want: nizmo_man, interesting to see other people's license runs.

Been slowly playing it. Was pretty disinterested until I done a Seasonal and got 1mil credits lol. Now I have a red HR31 with bigger (finally!) wheels and am playing it almost every day.

Would anyone be keen to make at SAU Super Lap either on Mt Panorama or Tsukuba (maybe Skylines only)? Would be interesting to see how fast everyone is going.

I'm keen for the superlap comp! ... Just as soon as I get better at it! Lol! Haven't had much time on the game in the last few weeks. Got 3 days off now while the wifey is working, so I may get a crack at it!

    • 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.
