pretty sure someone in this thread bought one. personally i wouldn't waste the money, especially just because it has HKS on it. just get a white-out pen and write HKS on your controller.

It was me... the steering wheel thing and pedal buttons on the HKS controller does allow for better control over how much power/steering you're using. It probably wouldnt sell that well without the HKS name but since it does zomg its awesome.

so if it really is better than the standard controller, howcome you've only had it for like a week and your getting rid of it?

lol you say its to fund your car.. i dont think it'll go very far towards that.. what would it buy? a wheel alignment maybe?

Its going towards replacing the funds that I've spent buying NISMO Air Flow Meters. Shit will add up once I pawn off some more junk.

I hardly play GT5 anymore, I'm still only at like level 8... it got boring. I was playing with the HKS controller on Need For Speed Hot Pursuit for awhile but even then I still hardly touched that - just too busy with work and cbf doing much when I get home from work. I have a habit of buying stuff, using it for a short period of time or hardly use it at all then it either sits there and collects dust for ages and eventually gets eBay'd off or sometimes/lately I just chuck it on eBay once I've had my fun with it. Any other questions?

So i've finally managed to start capturing gameplay through the Avermedia AVerTV HD Capture card, must say the quality isnt bad. it says recording up to 1080p but the quality doesnt look like 1080p to me. but good quality none the less. here is a short .flv of one of the GT all stars races

What car are people using to get past the Gt all stars championship? originally i was using the R34 GTR, then tried the Nismo/Xanavi R35 JGTC/SUPER GT car. The R34 couldnt heep up no matter what i did, the R35 was a loosing battle aswell. so after a reccomendation from a few friends overseas to try the vette Z06 and race prep the thing. it worked :)

currently on A-spec level 21.5 but b-level isnt worth wasting my time on just yet :closedeyes: do many of you race it online yet?

My B spec driver is at level 14. from about level 13 on they can be trusted with a high powered RWD car and won't loop it at every sharp corner when they are in the red zone

I've got 2 at class 31, 1 at 32 and the top guy is 33. Now that I've reached the Tsukuba 9h enduro, I'm going to alternate putting one of the two newest guys (13 and 14 currently) in as part of the team for each race to improve them. Will see at 6pm tonight how far they progress in one swoop from their 1/4 share of 661,144 xp.

Liger, i'm still saving up to buy a car to use in that race. still got 1.5 mill to go before i can afford one.

Has anyone had a go at the second round of seasonal events? i've had a go at 2 and have been smashed both times, finishing about 20 seconds behind in 1 and 40 behind in the other. they must hve decided to make these ones much harder that the last lot which i was able to win all of

Sounds good to me. Only just picked up my second driver (don't get much time to play :() and made sure he was a hothead.

My coolheaded driver doesn't allow me to walk away from a single B-spec race. Even in the early races against 300ZX's etc he becomes so complacent in the 650+hp LFA that he will drop his half lap lead and let others overtake him.

Looking forward to just letting a driver drive on his own.

you need to raise them slowly. big cars and no talent leads to no learning with these guys. put him in a car thats only a little better than the competition. if that doesnt work, sack him and get a new driver :)

Still got it I'll buy it pm me put cash on your bank tomorrow

I did nothing but B-spec (from 0) for 2.5 weeks. Was made easier by having all my car collezione courtesy of lev.23 A-spec to race with. Could certainly be done quicker if you're around the PS3 all day to restart races in the pre-enduro levels.

Anywho, the answer to the question posed last night is: 4 hours 9 minutes 54 seconds, at an average speed of 240km/h

Now I'm going to have to run the Le Mans 24H 11 times to reach 40.

Just for shits'n'giggles, I think I'll see how much power I can knock off the current 1557hp by not changing the oil in it until I get to the end of B-spec

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
