^^^ That game screen on the pre-release was changed alot for the actual game... you can only see the GTS-R in the 'Old Timers' used car section.... even then it only appears peiodically. You can also race against the GTS-R in the 'Race of Red Emblem' Skyline series.

Guys I also want to confirn the DR30!!!

...and...

JAY LENO'S 'TANK CAR'!!!

Some more pics:

Option Stream Z 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i'll try to go to 360Km/h just like Dai!!!

I soooooooooooo want this game!

Will Jap-spec GT4 works on Oz-spec PS2?

Cheers

Grant

The Option Stream Z (2004 model - not the 1st one) is a laggy bitch! It only comes on song at about 6,000rpm... before that... doughy offboost goodness. It sucks on the circuit.

Hahaha check it out, I got the Daimler Benz 'Horseless Carriage'...

1hp... max rev limit 900rpm... and does the quarter in...

1.32:2...

With a top speed of 18-odd km/h, it was painful waiting for it to roll over the line I can tell you.

hey rezz,

is there very much japanese in the game? i have my ps2 chipped to play jap games and can buy it online and have it here in aus in a week. So tempting. I will be buying the pal release but if there is enough english to play it for a few months i could be swayed easily. thanks mate.

ps. how long does learing japanese take? are there any shortcuts :wassup:

Rezz; with your gunmetal BNR32 and red V35 coupe, did you add the rear wings to them? They sure as hell don't look stock :aroused:

Also, can you confirm whether there are brand name aero kits available? i.e. from C-West/T&E Vertex etc.

Mate's going to have fun with the Z18 Bluey...He's a pretty big Bluebird fanatic and is working on buying a 910 Series 3 TRX atm

prae: Yes, I changed the rear spoilers on those cars. About the aero kits, no, there aren't any unfortunately... I was expecting them to at least have some front spoliers or splitters... but no deal.

Phat6: No, they don't show off intercooler or exhaust mods :D You can't change engines either :):(... Drift mode? Nope... there is the HKS Genki Hyper S15, Blitz D1 R34 'Nomura' drift Skyline, and BP D1 FC3S RX-7 drift car, but they don't drift very well unless you put sports tires on the back.

Oh yeah I almost forgot: there's a feature in the wheel shop called 'Wheel Of The Day', where you can put *any* wheel from *any* car (bar the Daimler Motor Carrriage) on to the car you are modifying. The wheels change daily (of course) with about 15 wheels on show each day. It's a pretty cool feature because alot of wheel that aren't represented in the brand name shops (ie: Bridgestone, Yokohama, OZ etc) are in the Wheel of the Day section... eg: Regamaster wheels are in WOTD, but not in the brand name shops.

There are alot of steelies and hubcaps from oldschool Vw's and Yank cars that you can put on your Cizeta V16T!!!

To be able to drift in GT3, you could just buy the full race suspension, fully tunable lsd, and simulation tires. As far as horsepower, try to hit around the 400 mark on all cars, some a little under (like s13's).

The trick is in the settings. Go into your settings menu for your car and turn off the traction control and yaw control (turn them both down to zero). If you don't do this, you'll have a hell of a time trying to drift.

Suspension setup is a personal preference, I like it to be pretty hard.

Does this work in GT4?

Thanks for answering my questions Rezz, and for posting screenshots up so we can have an ogle :)

Can't wait for it to be released in Aus :D

Oh, sorry for making you repeat yourself. Just re-read the thread and you've already answered, thanks again though :)

    • 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.
