GT3 Nico Challenge...

[dr!ft]

Ok, here's the dealio: I finally got my copy of GT3 back from my stupid little cousin, so I can now go about whipping the likes of all Nico at GT3.

So, what's going on? I'm posting a challenge for jdmfreak03, but all should feel free to give it a try. After a certain amount of time, jdmfreak03 will then announce his challenge. And so on. Others can feel free to set a challenge, too. Remember to include car, track, mods on car, tires, etc...

First ChallengeTrack: Deep Forest IICar: Acura NSX (not Honda)Mods: Full N/A tune (485+ HP)Settings: Unrestricted (whatever suspension, brake, transmission etc. settings)Tires: Simulation

Post your times! We'll see which Niconian is truly the master of GT3...

hmmm... 10 seconds jk.. I don't have a ps2

I did manage to run an 8.4(or was it 8.7?) in the 1/4 mile in sega gt2002... yeah.. xbox sucks. That was with the gt40, every mod, and nitrous...

[burnin240sx]

which nsx? there are 2 to choose from. one with 289hp and one with 276hp?

[nametakennow]

Just an Acura one, sounds like... I think I already have one, I'll give it a shot tomorrow afternoon. Deep Forest II... ouch... but yeah, I'll give it a run too... I tried to do something similar to this nearly a year ago and it never caught on... oh well...

[dr!ft]

The one that's least expensive...

[burnin240sx]

now i'm raly confised cause fully tune on both cars =459 on the cheaper nsx and 447hp on the other nsx

neither car fully tuned = 485hp

are you sure it's not the honda nsx?

[nametakennow]

Change the oil. I bet it goes up then...

[burnin240sx]

wtf? i changed the oil and it's now at 482hp

[dr!ft]

Exactly. They must use Ninjathetic (the alternative to Synthetic)...

But use the one that reaches around 485hp.

[jdmfreak]

OK Im here and Ill be back in about a half an hour with the best out of three. Im gonna use the Zero BTW.

[nametakennow]

wtf? i changed the oil and it's now at 482hp

Gearing. Get the top spec transmission and change it around, it changes the power numbers too.

[Cyberkreig]

how in the world do you all just have enough money for that? game is impossible to get money.

[burnin240sx]

you must race to get loot and the endurance races pay off big like 1 mill

[jdmfreak]

LOL! I have about $3 million, but thow I have about 2.5 million due to multiple drift cars.

[nametakennow]

how in the world do you all just have enough money for that? game is impossible to get money.

Just keep racing, once you have a couple cars you can use regularly it's easy, particularly in the higher leagues. I've had as much as $6mil (in GT2), I usually hover around $1mil cause I'm always making cars for kicks...

[dr!ft]

If you're still in the Beginner's League, just play the Granturismo World Championship a bunch of times. $100k for all first place, then $50k for winning. More than enough to buy a fully-modded NSX...

[The Mic]

i can do 1:10:02 (1 lap) in midfield with my c/f AE86

[Cyberkreig]

I've got something like 20 cars, i'm one step up from beginner.. i just got so discouraged at how a few 100 hours yields so little progress! Awesome game tho,

[jdmfreak]

LOL! I think I have 100 cars.

[burnin240sx]

i'm at 83 percent done i have to finish getting my S lic and pro mode i've got all gold in rally beg, amutur and i'm missing 3 or the endurance races. and i beat all tracks in arcade mode. f1 cars are the ****

[nametakennow]

S Lic is such a BIA! One or two of the tests took me so long to do, I'd give up for a few weeks then try again... finally got it though... not all that useful. I'm only 76% or so done... but yeah, I always get all the licenses ASAP cause it's good experience.

[burnin240sx]

anyone here get a chance to play gt4 prolauge? i've got a copy it's the preview to gt4. this **** is off da hook. grafix are so much better and there are ppl jumping out in front of you in rally. i can't wait for gt4 to hit the shelfs.

[jdmfreak]

Yea that is a PIA. Especially the one with the Toyota race car.

Oh and I dont know what's wrong with your cars, but my NSX Type R has 496 w/o oil change and my Type S Zero has 508 w/o oil change. Im gonna use the Honda NSX Type S Zero.

[dr!ft]

Well, that's probably because you're using the Honda NSX, and we're using Acura NSX's. I also get 496 w/o oil change on the Zero. Oil change --> 517hp.

Why not just use an Acura NSX? That's what the challenge was for... :pface

[silkk]

oo i'll do a coupe of laps tomorrow when i get out of school and posted.

[jdmfreak]

OK 2nd run with the Zero I got a 1:16.625. Ill try it with the Acura in a minute. Oh and I got 533hp after the Oil change.

[jdmfreak]

Oh and dr!ft. lets see your times.

[dr!ft]

Ok. Just curious, but was that time with, or without the oil change?

So far, my best with the Acura NSX = 1:18.178 I'll try a few more runs tomorrow. Hopefully bring it down to low 1:17's...

[jdmfreak]

OK. Well I went and bought an Acura NSX and spent about $300,000 total. The result is a time of 1:16.889. Not bad considering that this NSX was 74 hp slower than my type Zero. I could do better, but I turned the PS2 off w/o saving. Oh well Ill do it all again 2morrow.

[jdmfreak]

That first time was with the oil change. The second time with the Acura was low cuz of the gearing was good I guess. I could've also done about .5 to1 seccond better wth the Type S Zero.
