has anyone finished the Driving Missions yet?

I've done all but two and cant for hte life of me get anywhere near catching the Mercedes on the Final Nurburgring mission ... about 35 seconds short every time, and I cant catch the Yellow 34GTR in the slipstream battle @ hispeed oval circuit!

I just done the R34 slipsteam after a few attempts, first I tried to just drive on the inside of the track the whole time and I came within 0.7 seconds but not quite, so I tried the draft game and after some practice of switching around without them bumping me I made it.

I stay in 5th

Here is a small Guide that a member of GTPlanet.net wrote, that may help.

My "works every time" technique (done it three times now, first time every time) is to never change gear ever. On approach to the first turn, draft and pass underneath the pack, move back to the top yellow line and then switch to in-car/rear view for the straight. Pick a car to allow past - let him slipstream you and then move to the outside to avoid him - he WILL hit you if you don't. Stupid bugger. Flick in behind him, slipstream and pass on the inside on the next turn, then back up to the top yellow line. Keep doing this and you'll spot the yellow GT-R on your third turn. Carry on doing this until the LAST turn.

On the last turn, slipstream and pass on the inside, then stay low until you're approaching the draft zone of the yellow GT-R. Snick up and slipstream him, pass on the inside and stay low again.

You win. Hurrah!

spyhinx, the only externally visible mods are the GT wings and rims, other than that only performance mods can be purchased....

Kill HSV, iv'e looked at this before as well, in some kind of hope that possibly i could squeeze more hp out of some of my cars but alas it looks like pd took the path of NFSU..... no difference as far as i can tell.....

i just downloaded GT4 and it wont fit on a standard single layered 4.7GB blank, now before some 1 says go buy a dual layered DVD blank note that some guy told me u cant even burn it onto a bigger size disc cause it wont let u. i dont wanna spend like $7 on a DVD blank and then finding out it wont burn and yes i have a dual layered DVD burner

lol buy the origianl instead....

its worth the money as far as im concerned, theres no other racing sim games on the market that are as realistic, sure it pisses you off that the car you drive isnt available lol, but theres like a billion other choices, and as for the drifting thing, like others said, it depends on how you set up your suspension and tyre choice etc, if you jst wanna have lame drifts play nfsug2 :(

the only real problem i have with the game, is that you cant make cars into the race versions like on 1 and 2, apart from that.... love it.

im like 60% through the game at the moment, has anyone actually got 100% yet??? i assume its extremely hard to achieve, GT2 and that are bitch hard to get 100% in B)

don't bother burning it, it's marked down at most shops now adays anyway... shouldnt set you back more than $50.

Jar, I've only bothered to unlock all the seckions and collect enough money to buy cars... i hit 30% a few months ago, i just love racing the ring :(

which one theres like 4 :)

so just got me an F1 car this mornin, PS2's off at the mo' though coz its been on for 24 hours so i dont wanna blow it up :lol: might have to give that F1 car a burl tonight though, coz all i know is they go fast, and i wanna see how fast exactly :)

B)

which one theres like 4  :blink:

Yeah all sections, so that i can race anywhere, eg. extreme hall, enduro etc...

but i prefer to just run amuck on the ring, heaps of fun :)

Anyhow, the F1 car isn't that fast down the straight, plenty of faster cars.... it's the corner speeds that are insane. most corners can be taken almost double the speed of any other car. I did notice that the F1 car sucks hard at the ring cause it keeps bottoming out...

uh huh, noticed that already, its quick coz it shifts better than most cars, but eventually others will catch up if your on a course with a long ass straight, yeah i lost that freakin race in the F1 gt championship on twin ring motegie ring coz it kept flaylin about everywhere and i couldnt control the damn thing :D

the fastest lap around thr nurb is with the Polyphonic F1 car

4:44 I think it was

yeah but thats a technical course, the F1 cars carry awsome corner speed, no other car will match them, however on a course like "test course" there are other cars in the game that can match there speed, e.g the bentley speed 8, my toymotor GT1 car ( 1011hp to a 700kg car.... paper with a giant turbo yeah baby ), and a few others.

:)

and the F1 cars on a course like the twin ring montegie suck ass, there to light and understeer like a bitch, it takes skill to stop them from spinning out excessivley :)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
