I've got the demo, been playing it online the last week or so a bit. Sometimes it a bit jerky and I have been dis-connected a few times, just part of playing online games i guess!

Great game, agree though, you need a good computer to make it run well

My laptop does a ok job, but could be better

found out u cant use geforce 4 cards cause they dont use directx 9

yea man that sux!!!! i had a geforce 4 Ti 4200 that i paid good money for years back n that card played all the other games i had that required good grafics easily... i run an amd xp 3.2 1024mb ram n the lanparty UT nF3 ultra-D but still donest run coz the card is incompatible...SUX!!! ive got the game but no money to buy a new gfx card coz my engine gave way :P

anybody know about the x-box version thats coming out? Will the graphics look halfway decent compared to someone running it on full detail on a beasty state of the art PC? I'm pretty sure the online play over xbox live would be a little more stable.

I'll probably buy it anyway, I Just wanna know people's opinions.

I gave up upgrading my computer ages ago because it would just get outdated after a few months!

I played them demo online (Internode Gamers Servers) everyday for about a week before the full game became available. I never once had lag or a dropout however I did have a constant 40ms ping on Australia's best ISP + Gaming Servers.

I played the demo on 1280 res on high detail and didn't once have an issue (Nvidia 6800GT 256mb). The graphics card and ram play a major part in the quality, if you have less than 1gb of DDR ram than upgrade immediately (it's very cheap). I think it's good that big games like this force people to use certain models (or better) of video cards, it's the only way to force people to upgrade their systems so that the game companies can release better quality games.

I'm still yet to buy the game. Everytime I see it at the shops it's always $99.95 and i'm not willing to spend that much on a game i'd be lucky to play for a month. I've heard it being advertised around at various places for $80-something. If and when I see it for $70 something then i'll buy it.

great game... i've had it since the day it came out, and played the demo flat out up until the full release launch...

you need MINIMUM 1gb of RAM. this game has pushed the minimum requirements from the usual 512mb to 1gb minimum. ive alt tabbed out of the game when it was idling at a menu (so not even in the map) and it was using over 800mb of RAM. i've got 2gb of RAM and a sapphire X850XT...AMD 3500+ etc, and i run it on max detail smooth as....love it!

there is a patch to make it playable with the geforce 4's, but the textures and stuff like that look pretty shit as you'd expect...

yea i got it and have played it a bit it's little slow online but i only have 512/256 though its still not to bad on Aus servers and single player is all good pc is amd xp 2700 1 gig pc 3200 ram, sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128mb sata hard drive and the rest doesnt really count so you dont need a super pc to play it with ok graphics

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
