THE Gran Turismo thread.

i suck ass on trial mountain lol, need more practice :|

edit: we should set up like an initial d type run on different tracks. Person in front has to maintain lead, if the person in the back gets too far behind by the time the first person finishes, second person loses. If the second person overtakes the first person (without bumping) second person wins. Cars should be restricted to 400 hp or less. If both cars maintain position and stick to each other, keep doing laps until someone messes up etc etc... I think it'd be really fun but we'd have to organize it well and everyone needs to be on the same page.

yea not being able to change rims pissed me off so bad when i first got GT5. now i don't stress about it, i just play with premium cars mostly.


Killer and Wangan, i like the idea, everyone being on the same page is key though or it'll get fucked up quickly. We should have the server name be something cryptic so only zilvia people will join or something. Could be really tight!

and wtf is the deal with the server being down?? i wanna drift...

Agreed on so many levels. I finally got a 240ZG and it looks great, besides the bicycle wheels, makes the damn thing look like a boat.

And yes I wish the server would come back up! I want to drift with you guys again.

Til then I'm practicing on the Nurburgring in rain and time change. Intense!

[gearhead55]

haha tight. i'm using the server down time to win shit in b spec while studying for finals next week. or maybe i'm studying while winning shit in b spec. i'm not sure which.

[LoneStarSilvia]

I'm just about convinced its impossible to race using the cockpit view a night and in the rain.

I also think its pretty sweet attention to detail seeing the rooster tails in the night rain being lit red by my brake lights.

holy shit. thats ridiculous...

[simmode1]

Ok guys, finally got my game installed and I'm ready to play! But I don't wanna run off and blow my starting out $20k stupidly. I'm trying to do the birthday car thing (changed my system's date to my birthday) but nothing happened?

Also, does anybody know if you get anything for having GT-PSP data?

[wangan_cruiser]

i think you can only get cars from ps3 to psp but not the other way around.

[wangan_cruiser]

my b spec is at level 21 and been making money for me its so nice.

haha. yea the server is still down. just playing around with the kouki s13.

if you want to get more control of the car. try to match the tires with your hp. so you wont lose control all the time.

So far I've been matching what tires I use on the course we're on.

On Tsukuba its comfort soft up front and comport medium in the back with my 370hp 370Z or 350hp FD.

On Mountain Trial I've used Sports Hard all around on the same FD. I have to mash on the gas alot more, but I have more control and speed for those long corners.

[HyperTek]

u have to start a new psn account with the birthday.. then add your other account to it and then in the game you can gift the car to yourself. But from what i read they put a limit to this now since alot of people ahve been doing it.

[simmode1]

How would you start off, if you were doing it all over again from scratch? Get a birthday car and then go from there? Is there any other trick to getting a free car or do I just go need to spend my $20k at the used car lot like everybody else?

once you get going and beat a few faces making money isnt an issue. expert, extreme, and special challenges is were you'll make your money.

has anyone beaten the like the wind extreme challenge? i've beaten the first course with my veyron, but surprisingly, i cant keep up on daytona.. a freakin oval. and there i thought the veyron is unstoppable in high speed stuff.

[HyperTek]

just buy a used car lol
i preordered so i got a free benz sls amg, but i dont even use it..

buy a car, and do the license tests

What is your psn? maybe one of us could give you something lol

Well, obviously my cheapskate-ness transcends real life into video games too... lol. I'll just go buy a used car. I want something unconventionally awesome though, like a Starion/Conquest or a Porsche 944 or something. Imma check the car list and see if I can track down some obscure awesomeness...

My PSN name is: turbo_angoleiro

I'm already on the list. But I don't wanna bug folks for a free handout... buuuuut, who turns down free shit?

[Slammed Assassin]

damn are the servers up yet!! I wanna tandem with fellow zilvians!!!

[LoneStarSilvia]

We need to make a password protected room to ward off retards and kids.

[yokotas13]

do the liscense tests first
you can ge ta better car to start

[simmode1]

I tried that, but I need a car to do the tests in. But thats what I'll do. I'll cop out and get a cheap Silvia since none of obscure cars I want are in the game and take care of license tests when I get off work tonight...

[yokotas13]

no you dont?
they give you a car for each one lol

[HyperTek]

i think they require you to buy a car though.. you need a cheap one anyways since there are low level racers that require a FF car lol
did you not ever play a GT game before? its easy dude its no biggy,

[simmode1]

Yeah, I've played GT's before, but I've gotten used to not wasting effort in them. Like how GT4 gave you $100k ontop of your starting $20k if you had previous GT3 data. That was enough to buy a used $4k S13, nearly fully mod it and almost dominate the game with your very first car. I guess I got a little spoiled by that and the fact that I had both those games hacked to have all cars and 1 trillion dollars...

[driftking777]

Just made the 111 meters per second club (topped out at 262 in the end...) And needless to say, that's a ride.

[keistyle]

Gonna tune some cars then go at it again.
