EB price matched (refunded) the BigW price on my pre-ordered copy.

thanks ferni. I would be pissed off otherwise, because as the EB staff member so tactfully reminded me they've had my money for 2 years. it'd seem a bit unfair to penalise me for giving them money in advance....

I just got the PS2+GT4 combo from K-Mart at lunch...

Also slipped in a 8MB memory card and S-Video cable, I had the 900º steering wheel on the counter but then thought better of it :P

It is going to be a loooong night :P

I love it, but I think maybe it's a bit easy?? With the 100k credits transferred over from GT3 my first car was a 95 GT-R N1, with quite a lot of mods. After winning the first race series I entered I won a Nismo 400R, then a 350Z LM Race Car and after that it was just toooo easy :P I'm at the point where I'm considering handycapping myself to production cars with no turbo upgrades

Ive been using two setups for GT3. One involves a custom built (for something else) box. It's about two foot high. For seats I used two bean bags. Another setup is for Driving Force which has a knee holder thing, I just sat on the couch with that one. Both are quite comfortable. I must say though that I haven't tried DFP with the knee clamp, i doubt it will work too well, because of the 900 degrees and stronger feedback.

ENded up getting an adjustable plastic table from Kmart that works out to be the perfect height but the edges are metal which means the DFP just slips off them (doesn't clamp) so I have it secured by, ahem, about 20 metres of packing tape.

Noice one. Well, I only had about an hour to play with it yesterday - on a smallest telly, with basically no sound. Can't really comment on anything, for some stupid reason I did the Sunday Cup with R32 GTST..... Too easy, just about the only way I would drive worse on those was to go backwards and I still won by half lap in each race. So far but:

- A lot more optioned than GT3.

- Weight transfer on braking is really visible.

- Graphics is on par with GT3. It annoys the crap out of me when you bump the car and the screen smudges. Is there an option to turn it off?

Can't wait to get stuck into licenses. :P

I think the 100k and license transfer from GT3 and prologue is a good idea but if you actually use it, it ruins the game. If you start with 100k the first cars you can get are exceptional and it makes it so easy. I chose not to transfer the money or licenses to make it more interesting. Still going through the first two licenses.

Btw a few undocumented things:

1. Tap R3 during the license tests to bring up the accelerate/brake markers from GT3 (the blue red dotted lines).

2. You can hold R2 to rev out the engine a little further in AT. This can actually give you a bit more acceleration if you time it right. Time it wrong and you'll hit the limiter and slow down.

I'm gonna start over without the 100k, more fun that way, otherwise after you get a race car 90% of the cars in the game are kinda obsolete

nope it wasnt us, someone broke the street date if they sold on wednesday and id hate to be them BAHAHAHA! because the penaltie for breaking a street release date for a game means being sued by Sony and GT4 creators etc... and its not to the company you work for its to you personally, for someone to get it on wednesday maybe it was pirated? unless someone did break street date but we wouldve gotten a call to sell it, but meh i dunno. lol it wasnt me ;)

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By Last Phantom · Posted

      Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅

      Help needed issue with heater core blower and actuator and need someone to fix this and reinstall dash - 32 - Gtst

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.

      Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?

      NC MX5

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
