One for the blitzen fans

  Top of Page

... and for Goran :-)

I was playing GT4 this afternoon and decided to try out the photo feature. Here are some snaps :-) Most of these were taken on Nürburgring, except the first 4.

This thing is pumping out about 470kw and I've got the torque tweaked to 90% rear 10% front. Without modifying the gear ratio's it's hitting 250km/h in 6th no problems, once I wind it out I reckon 300km/h easy.

Anyone else here play and like GT4?

Yeh I'm continuously checking the used cars, trying to get myself a gen 2 RSB. I've seen a 96 GT-B, but I will only settle for RSB or a later GTB.

Only prob I have is where my ps2 and tele are now I can't hook the steering wheel up, so it's gotta be done through the controller. Kinda kills the fun smile

Nah man, it's exclusive to the Sony Playstation platform. Sux sad There's not (to my knowledge) any good ps2 emulators out either.

I reckon the PS3 is a load of bollox, I'd much rather xbox 360 over it. The only thing is, changing to xbox means I loose GT.

If I got given a PS3 I would accept, however I can't really justify buying an overpriced TV to receive an overpriced console.

Furthermore: The Australian PS3 is crap compared to elsewhere, smaller hard drive, the emulator that plays the PS2 games is software driven, as opposed to hardware driven which results in lesser performance and the thing is just oversized to the max.

Agreed, GT5 is the ONLY reason I have any hope for PS3. Serialistically.

But the deals on 360's now... ARGH!

Although, to be fair, you can get a 40" for under 2.5k... Pretty good deal with a 700 dollar console thrown in (if you want it of course).

Cheers,
Nik

the blitz looks sweet as. but if you got a 360 you would loose GT4 but like XoN said theres forza 2 which gives GT4 a great run for its money i actually enjoy Forza better. I am now waiting to get some funds and buy a 360 i like playing my mates but i want my own

Have to agree with that, I think the only reason I enjoy Forza though, is the fact if you get bored of concentrating on racing you can actually do a bit of drift, or blow some tyres etc. etc.

Drifting on Gt4 is harder than using the passenger window as a windscreen in real life!

Any really good post christmas deals on 360s guys?

I also want a 360.

I heard you can do engine transplants in Forza - is this true?

Also are there Liberty's in there? Like a 96 / 97 / 98 RSB ??? smile

I am doing more photos of the blitzen now, some more action shots which I'll post up with some captions to them as well smile

Wow thanks guys.

Here's a few more photos.

The Blitzen pursuing a RUF...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2374/2154562702_86e20764ef.jpg

Easily passed... Eat my dust you fancy badged Porsche...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2097/2154562974_83f7b17294.jpg

Hitting 260km/h on the straight... The RUF has no choice but to watch the mighty Blitzen gain distance...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2382/2154563188_1e00f1a64e.jpg

Under heaving braking... From 260km/h to 100km/h to take the first sharp right hander off the straight with rapid downshifting taking place and causing unburned fuel to ignite through the exhaust system...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2357/2153770155_54c19623eb.jpg
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2137/2154563622_619f0d5c56.jpg

The RUF still trails by quite a distance but is still within viewing distance...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2217/2153770585_408cd34a0c.jpg

By the time the main straight comes around again the gap has grown...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2018/2153770867_a54cc90282.jpg

Putting those 600+ horses down through a 90% rear torque differential has some interesting results...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2067/2153771233_569d1532c3.jpg

And the rest of the competitors trail so far behind they only deserved one photo.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2217/2154564664_06eab7d3a2.jpg

I hope you all enjoy!

Dylan yes you can do engine swaps in Forza, although obviously only compatible engines.
For example if you're silly enough to buy an MX5 you can dump a rotory in it and have a bit of fun, but no, you can't put a nissan engine in a Liberty or anything like that...

Aside from that you can upgrade more or less every part of the car, and tune everything from gear ratios and diff ratios to front and rear downforce.

Out of interest Dylan why the hell'd you put 90% of your power to the back wheels? :black eye

Hmm sounds pretty good. What about a ej20t in to a new lib smile ?

I was just testing.. drifting is something I want to attempt to do in GT4 but it proves a little.. difficult sad

Problem with this lib is that with that much power and a 50/50 torque distribution the thing is a bitch to get around corners... Put any decent power down and it just understeers to the wazoooooo!

It's a Jap-spec Gen4 GT so it already has an EJ20t smile
Can you change the swaybar hardness in GT? You could try setting the rear swaybar way stiffer than the front. 10/90 just seems a little... over the top tongue

ohhhhhh I see.

I don't think they do, however I am reading a couple of guides at the moment on suspension setups and drifting setups for the game smile

Forza is sweet especially with transplants i remebeer when i first got forza 1 and got a s15 and dropped a RB26 which then got fully worked i couldnt keep it on the traqcks there was so much power and gnarley wheel spin in 5th. but yeh forza two has got more interesting with transplants for example with the civic you can drop a FC20 ( s2000 engine) and it converts it to RWD i enjoy that aspect. but the difference in cars and mods from F1 to F2 have greatly improved therefore and become more in love with F2 just need to get a 360 nhow.

and for all you looking for sweet 360 deals, check ebay. i know its ebay and some maybe hesitant about it but there are some decent deals out there

Actually I was talking to a workmate on the drive in this morning, he managed to pick up a 360 before new years for $450 with Viva Pinata (good one for the girlfriends - helps convince 'em wink) and Forza 2... I think that's about as good a deal as you'll get for a Premium.
