I've got the demo, been playing it online the last week or so a bit. Sometimes it a bit jerky and I have been dis-connected a few times, just part of playing online games i guess!

Great game, agree though, you need a good computer to make it run well

My laptop does a ok job, but could be better

found out u cant use geforce 4 cards cause they dont use directx 9

yea man that sux!!!! i had a geforce 4 Ti 4200 that i paid good money for years back n that card played all the other games i had that required good grafics easily... i run an amd xp 3.2 1024mb ram n the lanparty UT nF3 ultra-D but still donest run coz the card is incompatible...SUX!!! ive got the game but no money to buy a new gfx card coz my engine gave way :P

anybody know about the x-box version thats coming out? Will the graphics look halfway decent compared to someone running it on full detail on a beasty state of the art PC? I'm pretty sure the online play over xbox live would be a little more stable.

I'll probably buy it anyway, I Just wanna know people's opinions.

I gave up upgrading my computer ages ago because it would just get outdated after a few months!

I played them demo online (Internode Gamers Servers) everyday for about a week before the full game became available. I never once had lag or a dropout however I did have a constant 40ms ping on Australia's best ISP + Gaming Servers.

I played the demo on 1280 res on high detail and didn't once have an issue (Nvidia 6800GT 256mb). The graphics card and ram play a major part in the quality, if you have less than 1gb of DDR ram than upgrade immediately (it's very cheap). I think it's good that big games like this force people to use certain models (or better) of video cards, it's the only way to force people to upgrade their systems so that the game companies can release better quality games.

I'm still yet to buy the game. Everytime I see it at the shops it's always $99.95 and i'm not willing to spend that much on a game i'd be lucky to play for a month. I've heard it being advertised around at various places for $80-something. If and when I see it for $70 something then i'll buy it.

great game... i've had it since the day it came out, and played the demo flat out up until the full release launch...

you need MINIMUM 1gb of RAM. this game has pushed the minimum requirements from the usual 512mb to 1gb minimum. ive alt tabbed out of the game when it was idling at a menu (so not even in the map) and it was using over 800mb of RAM. i've got 2gb of RAM and a sapphire X850XT...AMD 3500+ etc, and i run it on max detail smooth as....love it!

there is a patch to make it playable with the geforce 4's, but the textures and stuff like that look pretty shit as you'd expect...

yea i got it and have played it a bit it's little slow online but i only have 512/256 though its still not to bad on Aus servers and single player is all good pc is amd xp 2700 1 gig pc 3200 ram, sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128mb sata hard drive and the rest doesnt really count so you dont need a super pc to play it with ok graphics

    • 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.
