has anyone finished the Driving Missions yet?

I've done all but two and cant for hte life of me get anywhere near catching the Mercedes on the Final Nurburgring mission ... about 35 seconds short every time, and I cant catch the Yellow 34GTR in the slipstream battle @ hispeed oval circuit!

I just done the R34 slipsteam after a few attempts, first I tried to just drive on the inside of the track the whole time and I came within 0.7 seconds but not quite, so I tried the draft game and after some practice of switching around without them bumping me I made it.

I stay in 5th

Here is a small Guide that a member of GTPlanet.net wrote, that may help.

My "works every time" technique (done it three times now, first time every time) is to never change gear ever. On approach to the first turn, draft and pass underneath the pack, move back to the top yellow line and then switch to in-car/rear view for the straight. Pick a car to allow past - let him slipstream you and then move to the outside to avoid him - he WILL hit you if you don't. Stupid bugger. Flick in behind him, slipstream and pass on the inside on the next turn, then back up to the top yellow line. Keep doing this and you'll spot the yellow GT-R on your third turn. Carry on doing this until the LAST turn.

On the last turn, slipstream and pass on the inside, then stay low until you're approaching the draft zone of the yellow GT-R. Snick up and slipstream him, pass on the inside and stay low again.

You win. Hurrah!

spyhinx, the only externally visible mods are the GT wings and rims, other than that only performance mods can be purchased....

Kill HSV, iv'e looked at this before as well, in some kind of hope that possibly i could squeeze more hp out of some of my cars but alas it looks like pd took the path of NFSU..... no difference as far as i can tell.....

i just downloaded GT4 and it wont fit on a standard single layered 4.7GB blank, now before some 1 says go buy a dual layered DVD blank note that some guy told me u cant even burn it onto a bigger size disc cause it wont let u. i dont wanna spend like $7 on a DVD blank and then finding out it wont burn and yes i have a dual layered DVD burner

lol buy the origianl instead....

its worth the money as far as im concerned, theres no other racing sim games on the market that are as realistic, sure it pisses you off that the car you drive isnt available lol, but theres like a billion other choices, and as for the drifting thing, like others said, it depends on how you set up your suspension and tyre choice etc, if you jst wanna have lame drifts play nfsug2 :(

the only real problem i have with the game, is that you cant make cars into the race versions like on 1 and 2, apart from that.... love it.

im like 60% through the game at the moment, has anyone actually got 100% yet??? i assume its extremely hard to achieve, GT2 and that are bitch hard to get 100% in B)

don't bother burning it, it's marked down at most shops now adays anyway... shouldnt set you back more than $50.

Jar, I've only bothered to unlock all the seckions and collect enough money to buy cars... i hit 30% a few months ago, i just love racing the ring :(

which one theres like 4 :)

so just got me an F1 car this mornin, PS2's off at the mo' though coz its been on for 24 hours so i dont wanna blow it up :lol: might have to give that F1 car a burl tonight though, coz all i know is they go fast, and i wanna see how fast exactly :)

B)

which one theres like 4  :blink:

Yeah all sections, so that i can race anywhere, eg. extreme hall, enduro etc...

but i prefer to just run amuck on the ring, heaps of fun :)

Anyhow, the F1 car isn't that fast down the straight, plenty of faster cars.... it's the corner speeds that are insane. most corners can be taken almost double the speed of any other car. I did notice that the F1 car sucks hard at the ring cause it keeps bottoming out...

uh huh, noticed that already, its quick coz it shifts better than most cars, but eventually others will catch up if your on a course with a long ass straight, yeah i lost that freakin race in the F1 gt championship on twin ring motegie ring coz it kept flaylin about everywhere and i couldnt control the damn thing :D

the fastest lap around thr nurb is with the Polyphonic F1 car

4:44 I think it was

yeah but thats a technical course, the F1 cars carry awsome corner speed, no other car will match them, however on a course like "test course" there are other cars in the game that can match there speed, e.g the bentley speed 8, my toymotor GT1 car ( 1011hp to a 700kg car.... paper with a giant turbo yeah baby ), and a few others.

:)

and the F1 cars on a course like the twin ring montegie suck ass, there to light and understeer like a bitch, it takes skill to stop them from spinning out excessivley :)

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
