regarding the power conversions, im not sure if this is happening to everone (i assume it would be) be it dos'nt actually make a difference what power unit u pick it still shows the same figures in your garage.... my N1 GTR is both 410 HP and 410kw?!?! it happens to all my cars. there is no actual conversion...what the f***?? Thats abit lame...why put the option in for diffrent power units if it makes no difference.................

Yeah its flawed this game but the special conditions race where you win the 700 plus Kw Caddallacki for just winning 2 races makes up for the bad things.

The V8's sound crap with exhausts too, I thought they where suppose to be authentic and I dont care what anyone says, there is to much understeer developed in this game !

Could the pace car go *any* slower.... :rofl:

We just got a GT Force Pro steering wheel for $280.. be warned there are steering wheels out there for the same price with really cheap bearings that crack frequently..

I don't know how you guys got so many $$ & cars so quickly.. we must be @ work too much!! Need to take more sick days? :rofl:

I've discovered a good/easy way to get upgrade your car so its a decent 1st-3rd running car and then switch to B-Spec mode and let your driver win the races for you. I've earnt around $30k in an hour by winning 2 Sil80's and 6 races. Almost have enough for a GTR now so then i'll go back to racing seriously again.

there is qualifying... its called "Practice" this time tho.

and from what i can tell its not at the wheels figures..... it looks more like a bug cause most of the differences are conversions. ie. my 350z has 770kw but in the info it has 570kw which is pretty much the exact HP to KW total. ie. 770HP is 570kw

so im not sure about at fly and at wheels.

where abouts is this practice? is it not in the events where you win money or something?

it's only in the slightly longer events. not all (beginner events in particular) will have them.

I picked up something yesterday racing in the GT-R challenge.

I was driving a R32 V-specII with the traction control and oversteer ASM off but the understeer ASM on about 2-3.

What happens is if you happen to trail brake into a corner the ASM would put power on and would help spit you off the track, it took me ages to work out wtf was going on and only picked it up by the groan of the RB26 when I was on the anchors.

Something to watch out for people, if your going to turn down the diving aids turn them completely off.

      You've done it wrong. I don't have time right now to type up enough. I'll have to come back to it or maybe someone else will in the meantime.

      Link G4X GTTLink questions, MAP Boost Solenoid

      By shortyboy · Posted

      I was able to complete installation of the G4X ecu. I needed to reroute MAP vacuum signal from stock location to where BOV is connected on the intake plenum. Has anyone needed to do the same? When I connect vac port by the BOV flange to my HKS BOV, it doesnt work and I get flutter. I would to get BOV working, where would it be best to T in? Or would it best for me to move MAP vac line and T into FPR? Secondly, I installed a MAC 3 port boost solenoid and wanted to know if i routed it correctly. I place two lines from stock boost solenoid and placed it on ports 1 and 2, leaving 3 vented. The T for wastegate and boost source on compressor elbow is on port 2, and port 1 is connected to turbo inlet intake pipe. Please see attached pictures. Ill upload ecu config later today. Thanks in advance.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.
