Cool. Cause I cbf with single player missions etc. I've never bothered too much with them in GTA games; only played online or run amok in my own world. But will put effort into leveling up the player in GTA online!

Plattsy finally has an XBL SAU friend :P

yeah team missions are pretty epic. i still havent had much of a play but when you get something going.

specially if you just gang up on random crews and shit. becomes fun. or take on cops at level 4 and five

fark i hope i can get online tonight, havnt been able to play for about a week, i think im only on lvl 15 ish :(

Still higher than me.. 11 or 12 I think hahaha...

Sucks getting in races where everyone has a higher driving skill.. (Mines still low) and just tap me in the ass and I swerve off road lol.

its basically like that at all levels.... joining random races with like 16 drivers is absolute chaos. and its hilarious.

or just pick a vehicle when everyone picks dirtbikes and watch the rage ensue

Haha yeah I kinda just stay back a bit and watch it unfold at the start of the race, usually end up coming first until the last lap and crash :P

Found an AFK guy with a decent rank...killed him 25 times in a row til I got bored. Enjoy your new KDR!

I wanna organise some crew vs crew shit with SAU :)

do it! im promoting you to commissioner of the sex box.

Had a good run last night, got 2 bounties straight up, $12k right there :)

Then delivered a high end vehicle for another $12k

I'll be able to get on tonight at around 7 if anyone is keen to do some crew missions

I find an easy way to earn consistent cash online without doing missions or races, is to find a decent car to sell to LS Customs for 8-9k (there's a list of cars and their values on the internet), then rob convenience stores for 1-6k while waiting the 48 minutes until you can sell another car to LSC (or you can do missions to kill the time). One LSC is right on a highway and you can just hang out the front stopping traffic til you get a good car, or visit the nearby redneck trailer park where there is usually good cars parked.

Arm wrestling is hilarious, I've only met one dude who can beat me. I cheat though, using my palm to move the thumb sticks instead of fingers.

ill aim to be there.

havent done arm wrestling yet. thought no one ever wants to play golf, darts or vehicular warfare games... so thought it wouldnt a good way to waste 20mins.

SAU GTA5 golf tournament :P

Might see you on then. Two things have annoyed me so far:

The other night I was playing for a couple hours, next time I logged on I lost all the progress I had made. Was so pissed off. Then it gave me messages about the cloud server failing.

Also, am I the only one who doesn't like the whole stimulus package thing? How does that fix up issues for those who have been playing and earnt a lot of money...it's just gonna put noobs on a level playing field with experienced players in terms of cash, who spent ages trying to save money. Sure you gotta rank up to buy certain things, but saving the cash up for a garage/house is half the fun.

its good for people like me who clocked about 12 hours supposed playing time. but in reality have about 3. ive only justmanaged to get to level 12. itas a pain in the arse.

the 500k will buy me a nice little house, because the free social garage im entitled too hasnt turned up either!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
