Who is keen for a race on GT5 now/this afternoon/evening??? Go online and narrow the search down to "Trial Mountain" and look for the room called "SKYLINES SA".

Actually, make it this Sunday - 7PM - I'll have the room open shortly before that.

Whats everybody up to in GT5 (single player wise)?

I've gotten up to the expert events, knocked off around 4 of them, currently at level 17 - still have 1 professional event to knock off. Finished Amatuer and Beginner. Havent been playing it flat out/every day though. Up to the Sebastian Loeb rally in special events - quite the challenge.

So many cars to buy... but where does one get the coin to afford the 1million cr + cars...?!

Went online for the first time just after I got the net hooked up at my new house - found a drifters lounge free run at Tsukuba circuit, joined and cut a few laps. Felt 16 years old again... lol

Level 20 A-Spec

Gold - First 3 Teirs

0 License's

Completed the First 2 Levels of the Go-Kart Extras

~75 Cars - Ranging from 22BHP Cars to 800/1000BHP Cars (R35 GTR, Veyron, Murcielago, Audi R8, Gallardo, Ferrari's - Some are the Chromeline that came with the Collectors Edition)

I've sent an 'Add a friend' message to everyone in this thread who listed their PSN usernames. So far only rad32 & skyhi 33 have accepted (already had Vu). List your details peoples and we can organise some SAU-SA online races.

I'm only at L11 for A & L1 for B. Have just started playing it a bit more the last couple of nights. Have only bought 1 car so far - a Civic Type R - that I had to buy to begin the game, the rest are prizes. I missed a R32 GTR N1 that was available the first day I went to the 2nd hand shop (didn't have enough $ or A level to buy it). Only a R34 GTR M-Spec Nur has come up since and costs too much for now.

    • We are literally just kids stuck in an adult's body with bills and mortgages to pay 🥲
    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
