GT4, Fastest Typhoon 1/4 mile - Page 2

Paris Hilton · 27-03-2005, 06:00 PM

My '88 Supra Turbo A runs 12.8 on Medium sports tyres, Stage 2 turbo and all other mods besides suspension/engine balancing/level 3 weight/controllers and those wierd plans

**Polyal** · 27-03-2005, 07:21 PM

yeah I haven't gone with the F6 yet, I have a GT that has been fully done up N/A wise. I cant remember the times 10.7 or something. Go weight reduction!...lol

Just a quick one, why is it that when I put the supercharger on (which I haven't) my overall killowatts go down? wtf?

Kryton · 27-03-2005, 07:26 PM

has anyone used the steering wheel instead of the control pad to play the game?
do you think its better or a pain in the ****.
seen a deal the other day with the game and steering wheel/pedals for $160 or something.
i need a PS2 i think....this game sounds good.
oh and has anyone found any cheats yet?

then the supercharger will put out less power then the NA tune that you are currently running, as you have changed to forced induction it will remove all the NA tuning that you have done, and therefore losing power

i have put stage 5 turbos from HKS etc on some cars and they put out less HP then a stage 3 from the manufacturer as well

hmm thats a tough one. Personally unless you have a top notch setup you will never be quicker with a 'wheel. Its more for the cool factor IMO.

Thanks for clearing that up fordel! I thought I was missing something, but no.

TIKFD6 · 27-03-2005, 07:30 PM

E.B. also has the deal where you buy the ps2 and get the game.

**Peuty** · 27-03-2005, 08:55 PM

AndI am fairly certain that there are no cheats whatsoever davway

Waste of money. Complete waste of money. I took mine back

By the way, this is a really really cool feature:

Like my baby?

fordel · 27-03-2005, 10:26 PM

hrmm did up the F6, only getting 10.064 atm, cbf working on gear ratios yet, spent to my time on my rexy getting that down to a low enough time, dont think i can do much more with it

Thought my RS200 rally car only pulls 9.9, with no nos

**Polyal** · 27-03-2005, 10:32 PM

ok now I know this is OT, but I was just trying to do the american championship with a camero LM edition racer and there is some freak of a 70's car that f%$king kicks ****.

This thing seriously looks like it has twin jets or something, I can beat it on a couple of tracks, but as soon as there is anything that looks like a straight its impossible to stay with it.

Looks like my camero needs the last turbo upgrade. When I got it I thought it flew, but its nothign compared to this chappallal 2J or soemthing like that. It was my first go, cant be stuffed trying again unitll tomorrow.

btw selekta, thats my fav supra, including the newer ones. Nice color choice to!

fordel · 27-03-2005, 11:16 PM

hehe LOVE goes to the chapparral 2J, that is an awesome car.... mine kicks **** in everything

eb six on boost · 28-03-2005, 05:17 PM

my fastest car, pikes peak suzuki runs 7.559
bloody animal, its over 320kph at the finish line. (speedo only goes to 320 btw)

ive found with most cars best settings for drag are.....
diff 3.700, auto gear set up number 21, then set all gears manualy to pull top end.
suspesion high and soft with approx 10kg ballast over the rear.

with these settings i smack all my bros fastest times.

anyone got the 30 litre jay leno car yet???

eb six on boost · 28-03-2005, 05:21 PM

btw anyone got the bp sponsered mazda rx7???
sounds just like real rotor.
can even do the ''im a ****er look at me boosting it'' as the camera goes around the car at the start of 1/4 mile.

they have realy done a good job with some of the engine sounds

EFFalcon · 28-03-2005, 05:37 PM

yeah i got the BP RX7, got it fairly early.
i liked the note from it :P

Me. I do.

It's a POS.

My quickest time in the F6 is about 10.1. No NOS.

Kenaz · 28-03-2005, 06:08 PM

The PS2 is telling me my memory card is corrupted or some shit like that. Meaning I've lost all of my save data. No more 600+kW GT for me :( I really cbf starting it all again including those pain in the **** license tests.

Kryton · 28-03-2005, 07:15 PM

i got the slimline PS2 + GT4 pack today but couldnt stretch the budget far enough for a memory card so im just playing arcade at the moment.
kinda fun i guess but would rather be playing the GT part.

fordel · 28-03-2005, 07:23 PM

TBH im actually over it now.... i find im doing more and more bspec races just so i can go car collecting... really cbf with it anymore.. only had it a few weeks to lol

chris

clampy · 29-03-2005, 01:14 AM

i cant get the 'phoon goin any better than a 9.602.. got the replay of it tho...

trying all kinds of suspensionhard/soft setups, some downforce vs none etc... doesnt really make that much difference. gotta admit havin soft susp on the rear looks cool in replay.

key things are 200 kilos in the back as ballast, and gear ratios set so you're burnin up 6th at the 400m mark.

Venomous · 29-03-2005, 09:33 PM

ok ive worked enough this week so im gonna go buy it tomoz morning. Anyone know where its the cheapest atm. its to far to go to kmart. ive only got target and big w. wats the cheapest and how much is it??

lol..im feeling a little that way aswell. Ive just done the American championship and the Japanses bar the A1 licence championship. Ill go for the licence next.

Anyopne tried those enduro's? Are those 24h ones literally 24hrs?
Fuuuudge that.

Psycho Chicken · 29-03-2005, 09:46 PM

Yeah I'm getting a bit CBF, it doesn't offer anything over the other games besides more cars and tracks.

Venomous · 29-03-2005, 09:56 PM

so wat should i go out and buy it?? or should i forget about it

Psycho Chicken · 29-03-2005, 10:30 PM

Well I'm 19% or something and getting bored with it, I haven't really had much time to play it. I'm just trying to stay away from B-spec mode because I know that'll make it even worse.

It's alright, I think I just need to unlock the extreme events. I just got my IA licence, maybe that will help.

tiggers_ef · 29-03-2005, 10:49 PM

i got to get the tv long enough to get past the were is everything stage and try some cars in the arcade section. were do you find the drag part.

yea i was wondering that, will be goin to get it first thing tomoz morning as long as work dosnt call me in, then i want to try this sort of stuff such as dragging

Psycho Chicken · 29-03-2005, 10:57 PM

It's in the power and speed section, you can do the 0-400m on the test circut or go to the Las Vegas drag strip.

**Polyal** · 30-03-2005, 11:18 AM

its definatley worth buying!

If you are a car nut, and aren't we all, then this is the ultimate racing game IMO. Just for sheer diversity.

30-03-2005, 12:00 PM

Does the Typhoon have clutch issues in GT4 if it does im not going out to buy a PS2 and the GT4 package lol. !!!

Venomous · 30-03-2005, 01:45 PM

how much is it at say target and big w?? anyone know?
