if you check out gamespot.com sony did a real play demo of it

either way.. to get a hold of a ps3 we have to wait til next year.. and thats IF you manage to get your hands on one

stock levels are limited as produciton for blue ray diodes are relatively slow at the moment

I've been playing it quite a bit lately on PS3 in Tokyo, and yest GT HD is awesome. You really need a good TV to make the most of it. I have a PS3 now back in Sydney and on my lame TV things dont look quite as good as they did on the HD plasmas I was playing with in Japan.

The graphics of GT HD are astounding. I'm just sorry I couldn't get a copy to bring back with me. I do have Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance (hooked on this one atm) and they are both great. PS3 is definately worth the wait. I do have some pics I took of actual screen shots of GT HD that I took whilst playing it. I will dig them out and post them up later on.

edit: yes sadly no car damage. but it's still awesome.

her beer baron,

im looking at buying myself a ps3 soon from japan, do you know if they are mulit-region? and is the language changeable?

yes language is changeable, and games are region free. movies are not.

I'm probably going to sell mine shortly, simply due to no more time to play with busy work time coming up. and I'll be back in japan in 6 weeks time so could possibly try for another one then.

  • 2 weeks later...

The game is now officially called Gran Turismo 5 :)

Heres a F*KN AWESOME GT5 Nissan Video!!!

Right click and save as:

GT5 Nissan Video 12.3mb

HD GT5 Nissan Video 38.6mb

Quicktime HD GT5 Nissan Video 37.6mb

OOOOHHHHH YYEAAAAAAHHHH :D

yep GTHD has been canned. They are now going to release the demo versoin (like what I played in Tokyo) which will have 10 cars and 1 track (2 layouts) and 2 modes: time attack, and drift (!). It's going to be free for those of us lucky enough to have a japanese PS3. You will be able to download it free from sony store on christmas eve. how cool is that.

they will now be focussing on GT5 instead. Can't wait for that!

you might be waiting a while! well into 2008 at the earliest. I'm pretty disappointed to be honest.. if they'd have offered it late next year I may well have been tempted to lash out some cash on the ps3. Instead forza2 on 360 will keep me occupied well into then.

I bought a PS1, and largely a PS2 just to play Gran turismo :)

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
