bugger me - I found a car that's been upgraded to premium!!! Countach 25th Anniversary now has an interior :) You can buy the OEM 'hang-glider' wing for it, and the big rear dish is now photogenic :) Handles good too.

Between that and the 288 GTO not being shit to drive, I'm starting to forgive GT6 a little bit... Enjoying those condensed enduros too.

also is anyone else hating MR cars

you changed the wheels didn't you?

There's a bug. Change wheels and you loose the staggered rims/tyres. The standard fat rear tyres get replaced with aftermarket ones that are the same width as the front and the car handles like arse. Refit the stock wheels and try the MR cars again.

Some MR cars behave badly to softer grippier tyres as well for some reason.

FT-1 isn't my kinda car...looks wierd

all the lambo's are premium now. Ive got the Diablo :)

You'll be surprised how many cars are now premium....and yet some are still missing

this glitch I did not know...explains what happened to my Diablo, took me ages to get it to drive again. I assumed it was my racing suspension and dumping it to the ground.

agreed on the grippy tire thing. add more rear tow in, lots more and you can make the twitchiness much less.

also keen on the super laps around Bathurst!!

well the Diablo (road car) is making a come back from GT3 or something. It would be strange to bring in a new car like that and not make it a premium car.

The 25th Anniversary Countach is the first car I've seen that's been upgraded from a standard car in GT5 to a premium car in GT6. There probably is more, but I've got a bunch of standard cars - DR30, C110, JZA80, Soarer, RUF RGT, Zonda C12S, CWest Razo JGTC S15, TommyKaira ZZ-II, 350Z S tune or something... and they're just the ones I can list off the top of my head... So, you're right, I will be surprised if they've upgraded many cars to premium!

Hell, there's still a heap of R34 GTR's that are standard cars and just 2 that are premium. They're all basically the same inside and out but they didn't bother "upgrading" them. Strange - it wouldn't be much harder than copy'n'paste...

Mines r34. Countach. Veyron. Shelby Daytona. That's off the top of my head.

The ZZII is and always has been a brutal car. Just glad I didn't have to wait and sift through the second hand car yard for it this time

I did the FT-1 seasonal as soon as the update was done last night. As GHO5T said, it's very easy, as you'd expect from GT6 by now - just like all the other time trials, challenge races & licences... Took all of two laps to get gold on that. I guess it kept me occipied for 3 minutes...Not really a fan of the car. It drives OK, but looks awful.

boiracer - yeah I haven't bought those 3 other ones you listed yet. I remember being surprised the Veyron wasn't premium in GT5. Shelby Daytona is a cool one - might have to buy that tonight. Thanks!

I forgot about the Cizetta V16T and the Lancia Delta - they're both upgraded to premium in GT6. Might see if I can find a list...

Yeah, sif no premium veyron in GT5?? Delta is s sweet car, and Cizetta sounds mad but drives like shite

What aids do you guys use? I set ABS to 1, sensitivity to 7 and traction is usually 0 unless RWD, when it's set to 1.

ABS one, everything else off. unless 700ish PP race car, then sometimes 1 notch of TC

everything off except ABS-1, g27 wheel with simulation settings, FFB-4.

clutch and stick, cockpit view and HUD turned off on campaign races.

bumper view and paddle shifters for time attack

sounds like my style of playing :) I only do cockpit view in premium cars. othwerwise its GT bumpercam. clutch to have some fun and normal races. Flappy paddles for when shit gets real.... :cheers:

lol windscreen wiper cam? does it move when you turn the wipers on?

I dont do roof view because I cant stand the Tacho thats used in every other view. In car can be tricky too, and bumber (GT) cam has the best instrument setup.....and you can change the colours

G27 WTF!

    • 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.
