[lawrenceyang]

what course will we do battle on

[simmode1]

I vote for:
1) Special Stage 5
2) Deep Forest
3) Trial Mountain

[sam&cheese]

I'm a fan of Suzuka just to keep it "JDM" but Nurburgring is good too.

Heel Toe (not actually possible in game)

Try it out on some PC sims, heel toe downshifting is a blast, especially in something like Rfactor with historix mod.

If you had the G25, you could put the shifter into sequential mode and use the paddle shifters as normal, and config the shifter into an ebrake


random

I like the adjustments this has, just needs a place to mount the shifter.

Tsukuba Circuit has to be in the mix there somewhere, I love Suzuka and Nurburgring GP/D because I've always had some amazing battles there.


In other news, I have a test S-Chassis Cup room up right now. Might not be for long though.

[Super_OK_S13]

@hypertek- i dont think my PC is strong enough to run any of the sims out there on my tv. even with the upgrade video card.

my next mod i want to do over the winter is an e-brake mod. and then eventually paint the rig black.

somthing like this.

i was also thinking about making a Y adapter made to plug into the end of the cord and into the wheel and another that is pinned to control the e-brake button and use another switch to an e-brake handle to switch it on/off. if that makes sense...

The had the seat on one end, with the pedals mounted on the other end of it, then it had like a 2x4 or something that he laid across and mounted the steering wheel and shifter too. The kicker is it had a lid that covered it all up and looked nice and clean. I've been trying my hardest to find pictures of it so I replicate it.

amd theres another one im looking for now thats like a coffin but closes to a coffee table like structure. will post up when i find it.

EDIT: FOUND IT!!

[sam&cheese]

Rooms up join!

we should make an official time for all of us to meet up this week ! down with any of the courses suggested

[LoneStarSilvia]

Thanks Tek18B! That's fucking perfect, now I just have to find something like that, any ideas peeps? I'd like to join if you guys race on the weekend, my time scheudle is way different than yall's.

[sam&cheese]

Tomorrow night? Whats the time difference like in Japan? Me and Teddy were on a room the other night it would be pretty fun with a few more cars and a good big track.

[Teddy]

Yeah a room full of S13s would be so cool.

[Super_OK_S13]

im off today, name a time and i'll setup a car today. grip race or drift?

[simmode1]

Man, I just tried to make a Z31... That single turbo V6 is a torque monster! But it handles like shit, IMO...

If someone gets the Z31 & Z32 to handle right, the S-Chassis' are gonna have their hands FULL...

[KiLLeR2001]

^ Screw that noise. I was tearing it up with my S30 last night!

edit: I also have a Z32 that drifts perfect.

[Super_OK_S13]

any rooms up?

My standard '98 Jspec Z32 grips great... My premium Us spec z32 sucks bawls. Understeer everywhere. I don't get it.

[DP-AE86]

i am super m.i.a.

smh...

i feel ashamed that i still cant afford another ps3...

The premium Z32 is fine. It's not US-spec either. I only like to use factory cars for drifting. I try to stay away from performance shop drift cars or racing modified vehicles. However I do love my G37 from time to time.

[simmode1]

^^^Nah, I prefer to tune my cars similar to how someone might tune them in real life... Like only modest weight reduction, hp limited to what you might be as common in a car build of that model. I never max out any of my cars.

I hate it when I trade for a car online, and I end up with a car thats already been fully lightened and has stage 3 engine mods... I finally got me a Nismo Z33 Z-tune and it was like that. I really wanted to experience it stock first... =\

[Super_OK_S13]

sim give me your PSN name. i have a z33 z tune i think. its silver with the decal stripes on the side... i'll never use it!

my name is tek18b_jimmy

i won't be home till 9pm east coast time, so leave a message on my psn name and i'll also check here throughout the day.

[simmode1]

Oh god, thank you! PSN: turbo_angoleiro

I'll give you something nice for it if you want, but I'm all out of cool paint chips...

Let me know if anyone has a stock-isk 270R they wanna get rid of!

[LoneStarSilvia]

I've been convinced to get back on GT5, even though I still don't have a place to mount my wheel again.

Btw, there aren't any early years Evo's in this game is there?

they have them in the used car dealership

[LoneStarSilvia]

Really? I'm meaning Evo 1-3. I'll keep an eye and google the car list. I wanna get in on the S/Z chassis battle, I'll be in the S30 ofcourse (unless it sucks).


Edit: Oh shit there is!!! A 2 and 3, fucking cool. If any of you have one I'm sure you're probably not using it, I'd be glad to trade ya.

2nd edit: Going off of Teddy's rules in the last page, the S30 won't work, it's already 1010kg and the limit is 1100kg.

[Yellow4g63]

You can add weight to the cars so it could still work.

You can still use it, now with GT5's new updates they added a power limiter and weight ballasts. So you can run in more classes now which is neat.

[LoneStarSilvia]

Yup, totally forgot about ballasts, it's been a while. Not like the S30 would be able to keep up though, it'll only put out around 270hp-ish max.

Seems like none of the older Z's keep up with the new Z's despite the older one's being nearly 100kg lighter. I tried the Z31 and it was 3 seconds off what I did in the Z33. Ah well, more experimenting ahead.
