Played some split screen at my mates today.

I like the new cars and tracks.

The level of detail in auto vista mode is insane, seriously looks almost real. Very impressive.

We tried putting steering on 'simulation', but it's pretty hard with a control pad. Makes drifting a lot harder, snaps back much quicker. I'm guessing that it's designed for a steering wheel, because we both hated it using the pad.

Favourite car so far: Aston Martin One-77. Goes just as hard as it sounds, drifts like a mad thing, looks sweet :worship:

Things I don't like:

STILL no replay mode in split screen, seriously, WTF?

Multiplayer always 'defaults' to retarded easy settings which you have to change every time you start it up. Why can't you save profiles?

Overall though, it's a worthy upgrade and I'll definitely be buying it :)

so you guys are already cleaning up the whole game? and a serious lack of long races??? or am i just reading into it?

all driving games need a steering wheel. i dont know how anyone can compare driving games without it.

my brother bought a fanatec turbo s wheel, broken out of the box :angry: works randomly if you turn it off and on like 100 times, played it for all of about 5 mins and it was set on 240 degree's, couldn't set it to 900 (using the glitch way so there isn't counter steering aids) so still can't say how the physics are with the wheel :dry:

he might get it replaced but atm just looking to get his money back

but the 240 degree thing sounds a bit odd :(

I am looking a possibly buying an xbox just for this still cant decide yet

I actually did. A couple of friends were talking about it and I thought it's about time I owned a console that wasn't an Atari.

4Gb 360 $200, speed wheel + game $110 and a 250Gb aftermarket HDD $50. Not too shabby to get into it!

i have never played forza so i cant really compare, i have been a gt fan all my life and i hate xbox and their stupid controlls so i will also never be a forza man, im sure forza would be fun, and possibly more entertaining as a day to day game, but in the terms of driving i think the gt series at the moment would be hard to beat.

im not sure how many settings and what settings can be done on forza and i have seen alot of people say that gt5's settings dont work on the cars, but that is absolut bolloks, if i purchase a car and fully modify it, take it to a track as it is, there is atleast 10sec in alterations that can be done.

from the videos i have seen, the graphics are a little ordinary, and it is a proven fact that forzas lap times with the same car, tyres track ect are 5 -8 seconds quicker then gt5 and also about the same 5-8 sec faster then real life. i also think the physics int gt5 are very good, nothing can be like real life but revs over bumps and all that stuff are there, id like to know if lowering the pressure of tyres in forza actually decreases tyre wear very very fast around the track, because if it doesnt then its a bullshit option.

the damage on the cars in gt5 doesnt show very well sure, but its new and needs perfecting, forza crash's dont look amazing and real either.

i also saw a list of cars for forza a few pages back

2 rx7s

1 gto

standard 32 33 34 gtr v specs

4 standard sti's

4 evos

no nismos

there are heaps of interesting cars missing

i have a fully modded

89 rx7

92 rx7

99 rx7 bathurst

00 rx7 rz

02 rx7 spirit r

thats just rx7s, lets not get into the 12 different year and model gtrs with different max powers at different rpms, im not even including race cars, then theres evo 1 - x, about 15 stis

i do like the sound of some of the cars in forza, its cool to hear something different, i also must agree for the first month of gt5 it was a little painful, but once you get going, the different cars and different options gets me on there pretty often

iv won every race and ive had most cars, the fun for me is racing against my ghost and perfecting my laptimes

i can see how forza would be fun, but from all the videos i have seen it is simply too arcadie compared to gt5, arcadie wins with %90 of the public, but for the true driving experience i beleive gt5 is the winner

its like the age old fifa vs pro evolution, fifa sells bucket loads more... but what do the footballers play???

    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
