Ok, Official GT5 Academy Time Trial page, please use the following format to keep it clean (don't necessarily have to use the html formatting but it makes it easier to read), don't bother listing your rank as it will change everytime someone somewhere in the world beats your time.

Minimal chitchat if possible :(

your right, feel free to discuss

that said, anything lower than traction control 7 and i keep sliding out from the corners, need a wheel and pedals so i can gain some semblence of throttle control

yup i know what you mean. The x button is pretty useless. I'm about to order a G27 so hopefully it will help.....but it might take me a while to get used to it as i've never used a wheel :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I'm shit. I spent an hour or so on this and this was the best i could get. I might hit it up again later in the week.

Mode: Tuned

Controller Type: Steering Wheel

View: In car

Transmission: MT

Traction Control: 7

Driving Line: On

Time: 1.42.203

what sort of times are the rest of the world getting?

If you have downloaded the game/demo whatever you want to call it, you can check up on the rankings in game.

Last i saw, the top time for Tuned was 1.35.xx

I'll take a stab and guess that this is for the F1 car on suzuka?

This is just for GT5 Academy, there is only one track, (indianapolis street something or other) and you have a choice of 2 races, one uses a tuned 370z and the other using a stock 370z

Mode: Tuned

Controller Type: G25

View: Front of Car

Transmission: MT

Traction Control: 4

Driving Line: On

Time: 1.39.5xx

Haven't touched it since the 26/12 but forgot to update, down to low 1:38's. Puts me 300 and something in the rankings.

Will give it another shot when back home around the 6th/7th

Mode: Normal

Controller Type: Steering Wheel

View: In car

Transmission: MT (gated shifter)

Traction Control: 7

Haven't tried the tuned car yet, wanted to give it a good go in the normal first.

Got that time with only 45 mins of playing. Think I'm ranked somewhere in the 700's with that time.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
