liksang has put up a pretty neat translation guide to help you get through the menus..

Hey Rezz: Have you tried saving a high res shot from the game and saving it to a usb memory stick in 1080i res?? Just want to see if its as spectacular as the earlier promo shots that were put out. Apparently the game runs nicely in 1080 during the races?? That would be incredible to watch..

Stevie: It seems Yamaouchi Kazunori thinks the only whales worth having in the game are GT-R whales... sorry. R32 GTS-t Type M's are in though (woohoo - I've already made a 'look-alike' thats just like my car).

predator: Whats 1080i? I haven't realy changed any graphics setting yet bar the 16:4 screen ratio.

mmmgtir: haven't seen the GTi-R yet... but it could be in the game? It's hard to say because the 'Used Car' section changes vehicles every 10 days or something, so you might miss seeing a particular car for quite a while, only to have it pop up 3 years after you bought the game hehehe :)

Yeah, I thought it may be hard to tell at this stage. I've heard conflicting reports on whether or not it made it in the game. I guess I'll just have to wait and see :)

liksang.com has it for $100 shipped to australia if anybody is interested.. not too bad.

lol - funny that they have the r32 gts-t and not the r33.. they must really have a thing against the R33 over there :D

I was reading that the game outputs 1080 x xxx (not sure what the vertical size is) resolution - high definition, if you have a nice large TV and the correct connectors. So you basically get the full resolution rendered inside the PS2, not the downsampled resolution that you get with standard (480i) mode? It says that its viewable in the presentation mode (where you can view and print your cars on a usb printer), and the actual race, but not the menus?

I believe only the japanese ps2 is able to output a full high definition signal. Just curious as to whether you had seen it or tried it.

I got a little further in the game...

Theres a circuit called 'Circuite de la Sarthe', it is and absolutely awesome track, rather like the 'Isle of Man' bike race circuit but for cars. In it you can hold the exelerator down for 2 -3 mins full throttle in the LM cars = speeds of about 370 -380km/h... "so what" I hear you say? Well in GT4 the sensation of 300km/h+ speeds has improved sooooooooo much, you'll almost crap yourself everytime you get in a real racing car!!!! Seriously, this is THE ultimate car simulation, bar none :D

I also got the 'Carbon R'... built by Power House Amuse, it's a carbon bodied R34 GT-R with 600ps standard. It has spectacular handling on the circuit, well, with only 1100kg to lug around it had better handle good!

... and I also got the 'Toyota 7'. It's a 1970 Can-Am category car... this car is really special... in 1970 it had: carbon fibre and FRP body, twin-turbo 5000cc V8 (check out the pics to see the crazy turbo placement!!! Talk about a short exhaust pipe!) pushing out 800ps @ 8000rpm all in a 620kg chassis!!!

I love this game... I can't put it down.

I reckon that turbo placement is bloody genius (for a race car). get some nice cooling air over the turbs, short exhaust tract, possible flameage. all positives imo.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
