Gran Turismo 6


Recommended Posts

I'm not a gamer and have not played anything at all since GT2, but someone gave me a PS3 so I got GT6. First thing I did was buy a Skyline and bau bau, so disappointed with the sound. Anyhoo, once I got over that, everything else is pretty good. Although it certainly hasn't blown my mind in terms of improvement over GT2.

Without any free cars it kinda restricts you to just modifying the hell out of whatever you got - in my case a Swift Sport then a new STI WRX have blitzed everything - even the Veryon ha ha.

Now, one thing I wanted to ask was, how does one do a timed quarter mile in GT6? I used to find GT2 quite useful for getting a rough idea of what ET something would run with a few mods, can't seem to find that function in GT6.

That's one of several features we lost in this latest version. But GT5 didn't have 1/4mile or top speed tests to start with either and got it in an update, so maybe they'll do the same with GT6.

It was never going to be massively different from previous games. I don't understand why people think it will be. Yes the physics have a bit of a different feel, but it was never going to be like changing mario kart and gran turismo. And I can guarantee that gt7 will only be a small evolution of gt6, and gt8 will just be an updated gt7. So if you expect there to be massive changes, leave the franchise now and find a really shit racing game that they are planning on making a sequel of and hope it's better. I'm sure that the forza games don't get revolutionary changes between games. Just updates to menus, tracks, cars and mod features.

Add me if you want: nizmo_man, interesting to see other people's license runs.

Been slowly playing it. Was pretty disinterested until I done a Seasonal and got 1mil credits lol. Now I have a red HR31 with bigger (finally!) wheels and am playing it almost every day.

Tsukuba is my least favourite track, too much low RPM, low gear, need more WOT, fast corners to push grip levels!

There are plenty of other good circuits like Grand Valley, Deep Forrest, Motegi etc....

I'm keen for the superlap comp! ... Just as soon as I get better at it! Lol! Haven't had much time on the game in the last few weeks. Got 3 days off now while the wifey is working, so I may get a crack at it!

    • It's in the bloody domain name twice! Yes...the GTR boxen have, for some reason, been cheaper than the RWD boxen for a long time. 10 years ago the GTST box was available here for <AU$3k. 5 years ago the GTT box was available for ~AU$3300. Both retail through 3rd party. Now the GTT box is >4k locally and only available for less if you're willing to jump through some hoops. Apparently they can be ordered from Nissan dealers for $3-3.5k at trade pricing. A friend of mine has a new GTT box sitting on his showroom floor that I keep wanting to hit him up for but I'd somewhat rather he sold it to someone else at his asking price than to me for a mate's rates discount.
    • lol I didn’t even notice the bird 
    • I like the 'Beatles album cover, but with bird' element of this photo as well, haha
    • Hi Gents, Someone I know (experienced engine builder) built an engine. It had some chinesium rods that came with ARP 2000 bolts. One failed on the dyno, destroyed the whole thing. The only possibilities are: Installation error. Possible, but we should discount it almost 100% because he knows what he's doing. He doesn't discount it that much, because he's being hard on himself. QC/QA problems with ARP products. I'd like to discount this, but I have heard a number of stories about similar failures, and stories of some builders buying 2 sets of everything, x-raying everything, and picking only those bolts that they are completely happy with. This behaviour coming from anecdotal stories of ~1% failure rates. 1% of all rod bolts failing would be about 1000x higher than I would expect to be anywhere near tolerable. If I were ARP I certainly wouldn't even be selling the product if they were dying at that rate (for non-installation error reasons). So, I would prefer to discount that possibility too. Fakes. Specifically, fakes being sold bundled with cheap rods sets from CCP factory B in Shenzen, or wherever the stuff is being made this week. So the question here is, does anyone else have some horror stories that would point to fakes being circulated in this manner?
    • I forget this is an au website, my GTR FS5R30A was 2200 AUD delivered but I did have to go to a warehouse near the port to pick it up myself.
