Gt5 Is Ready

[NISMATT]

The AU V8 supercar is a fairly disappointing drive you're not missing much don't worry.

Edit: If duping cars is still possible more than happy to send it to ya.

No xr6 turbo sadly , gt4 was fun with that car ,

just bought the 2j chapperal a cold hard 14mill.......

xr8 pops up in the used car lot but very rare took over a yr for me , now i see it everynow and then but itd 1.5mill and cant be sent

curently doing the bspec online sesonal event and earning 4 mill for 30mins

the chaparel is going to get nerfed in the next update from what i read. the fan that sucks it to the ground is going to be better represented as down force.

and a new car pack etc. aswell as test coarse! YAY finally a premium Beetle. cant wait

CLICKIT!!!

will add you as soon as i get back on the PS.

the monaro/commo is in the used car dealership, you just have to keep an eye on it and check regularly enough. (on this note. if anyone happens across a 400R they dont wanna keep, send it my way "Resnort", as i want one to fully modify. so i can keep my current one standard )

the XR8 as far as i know is only the old AU touring car isnt it?? which you win along the way somewhere, but also comes up in the UCD

The 400R is now available in the Online Collectors Dealership. 120,000.

The new beetle is entertaining, I modded mine and it tries to pick up the inside wheels and roll over all the time lol.

i liked the xr8 in the older games. sure it isn't the fastest thing in the world, but it handles ok, and if setup right it's good for sliding around the track (without full on drifting).

:thumbsup: awesome!!

I havent got the DLC yet......might do that right now

[boiracer]

ok so i bought a few beetles..... one is fully blown with both stage 2 and 3 turbos, the other ive done up to have the HP and look of my actual beetle....

they look fantastic (other than the usual lack of wheel choices), and actually handle quite well..............but, they got it entirely wrong with how they take off, and the weight of the car. over 1000 kg fully reduced is still 200kg over standard empty weight. but thats not what "bugs" me, the fact that a 200hp beetle cant spin the wheels from a standstill is just wrong.

at first i thought, oh thats just the stage 3 high rpm turbo kit.....so i tryed the others and still nothing. now i drive full clutch with a G 27...and no amount of clutch dropping fixed this.

so then i built my second bug, to replicate mine as best possible. 75 hp with what is alot more mods than my actual engine has to achieve the same result, then put it on the test track.......11 seconds to 100km/h. WRONG! and a 19 second Quarter...also quite wrong. and the same issue, even with comfort tires its a chore to get it to spin the wheels and the launch off the line is nothing like it should be

rant out, i still love em, and having a lot of fun driving them.

anyone been working on setups for the SS route X ?

i've managed to get bugatti up to 446km/h , but i've seen people go much faster than me ( i estimate about 460km/h). i've tried fiddling with the gear ratios, aero and suspension setups. but cant seem to crack the 450km/h mark.

any ideas?

[mad082]

are they getting a tow from the car in front? what are you doing to your aero? dropping it right down to as low as it will go?

[liger]

aero as low as it can be, no slipstream. gear ratio's set to a top speed of 460km/h ( tweaking of the final gear).

If i bring the final ger ratio so its set to a top speed of 470km/h, it will actually lose about 4-5km/h from when the gear was set at 460km/h.

ride height at its lowest ( F/R)

sway bars at 7 ( F/R)

running soft slicks

between 1/4 -> 1/2 a tank of fuel with i do my timed runs.

i just cant seem to figure out how they can reach that speed.

[boiracer]

no idea tbh. haven't played with it that much.

now back to Tsukuba for the other half of my 9 hour enduro...i love rainy weeks. allows for many a game playing

what about if you set the gear ratios so the top speed is only about 465kmh? maybe try putting the front aero up a bit (doubt it will do anything, but worth a try).

just looked at a video or 2. one said that you tweak the diff settings (initial torque to minimum), plus low suspension rates.

is it possible that the track has a slight incline in one direction? maybe try spinning around and heading back in the other direction and see if it makes any difference.

Thought I'd get my b-spec drivers to start doing more endro's so I did the Laguna Seca one with the little caterham fully worked, the thing did 70 laps before pitting due to the tyres, and if it had an larger tank by 4 litres it could of done the whole race without refueling LOL

I was sure there was a GT5 pic thread... i searched and came up empty

And skyline related

[boiracer]

nah i dont think there was, i just put some pics up in here a few pages back figured why not combine the thread to all GT related stuffs. i got some more pics i'll put up soon

[barraspalding]

GT5 shits me sometimes... I did a huge update on Monday night (made bigger cuz my shitty wireless broadband is slow), and then i turn on tuesday night... another update! This one only 80mb.

I'm not shitty that they improve the game... i just hate my internets! /Rant

Loving being able to change rims on standard cars now.

[barraspalding]

finally got my pics off the PS3. heres some of my cars. the McLaren is just mental fun

Found em! nice.

Maybe we should have a sub-topic for GT5 photography. I get bored enough to actually do this crap... and obviously so do others (tho probably not many).

[liger]

made this a few days ago.. monday i think it was.

i love this sort of close racing, especially on the test track

sorry about the small video, you'll probably need to view it full screen or in the larger player. i was concentrating on fast upload rather than the video size.
