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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
