good to see dedication.............as far as im concerned. unless i get an email directly from sony or polyphony telling me more details i'll ignore the other hype, where ever it is writen..ill wait, and play other games in the mean time. A

s for buying an Xbox........forza 3 is the ONLY reason i would even contemplate that as it is a dam good game. but 1 game aint gonna get me to buy an xbox. thats why i have a PC.

Bozodos is sounding like the door to door bible bashers trying to sell you Jesus although it clearly saiys athiest on the door.do you scan the site looking for pages that say PS3 just so you can tell us to buy an Xbox? (most peeps do own both)

If the full game resembles the prologue i have to say that the wait will not be worth it.

Having played prologue non stop since it came out, then play Forza 3, Polyphony has to come up with something spectacular.

And i fear that GT5 just wont cut the mustard. I mean 5 years of development?

In theory Prologue should look and and feel like GT2 compared to the new game with the amount of time spent on it.

Someone dropped the ball somewhere, and no amount of fine tuning of the game will pull them out of the shit, and they know it. They are just delaying the inevitable walk away from the series :huh:

I fear you may be right Dave :D

nah boiracer, just saying that there's a viable alternative for racing sim lovers already released.

Arrogant wanker devs who keep their games as vapourware long past announced release dates like this deserve to lose public support, like 3DRealms.

I'm starting to get excited bout this coming out. A few more months is fine, as long as they get the game spot on.

Downloaded GT Academy this morning. Must say i love the sound of the gearbox whine on the tuned car. Might need a new TV with 1080 to make the most of the game though.

For me personally. The number 1 concern I have is what they do with the Modification system in the game. After prologue Ive been worried they would swap the system over to that lame power up by 20%, weight down by 10% rubbish. This would really put me off the game bigtime. Im hoping they use a GT4 type system but much more comprehensive where you buy individual parts of different levels. Then they move the power band around suitably, even effects like clutch slip if your power exceeds your other mods just like reality would make for an awesome feature. 1 thing I'd keep from prologue is keeping a decent group of races using a points system (albeit with the much nicer mod system) to keep certain races as close as possible. (Yes sometimes you don't want to race a 600kw GTR against stocko Hybrids :P

Sadly my idea of a mod system with clutch slip, brake fade and overheating are probably just a dream. Maybe in 30 years time with Gran Turismo 7 or 8 at the rate they are going.

    • Thanks for the info GTSBoy, legend. If there is no downside i'll likely just get the larger bosch units because why not... I remember hearing stories about people washing their bores with fitment of too large injectors way back when, which i guess has made me shy about it now. But happy to know it shouldn't be an issue. Ozdavroz, the little rb20 is a lot of fun- now that i have a little extra funds and time i am very glad to be tampering with the ol girl again, after so long. More RB20's on the road the better. Cheers, Rowdy
    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy
