yeah I switch between left foot clutch and brake , It would depend on the typ of car as to wether it was needed.

also i would have thought a more analogue accelerator technique would produce faster lap times compared to pumping the accelerator, having said that its probably to do with engin torqu so its better to over power with a big dab and corect it though stearing than to try and give gradual consistent throtel as u go though the corner.

kulpims, if u like need for speed shift you should try , Rfactor, Gtr evo , Netcar pro , and I racing .

Gtr evo and Rfactor have far more realistic physics and grip than NFS shift.

How is that controversial in any way? There are many cars out there that can perform like supercars for fraction of the price, it's no news. You don't buy a supercar just for the performance, you buy it because they're outrageous

Aye, ZR1 is an excellent car, but if money wasn't an issue, I'd go for the lambo every single time given the choice. And if it was an issue, I'd buy a Nissan GTR

Not at all. Geek can be entirely separated from things which are high tech. An F-22 stealth fighter is high tech, but I wouldn't consider it a geek topic. The Nissan GTR has some very high-tech features, but it would be strange to me to call it geek.

By that same token, very often things that are geek are not necessarily high tech. The two are very different descriptions.

But yes, I'd say we don't need more channels. Do we really even need channels at all?

The Forza franchise is an incredibley pore simulator im sure if you played some of the leading pc sims you would have allot more enjoyment.
The best simulatoins at the moment are I racing, Richard burns rally , R factor , Gtr Evo , LFS , netcar pro
non of the Forza games have come close to these.

I'm not 100% certain on this but this guys driving style seems a bit jerky and forced unsettling the car before corners Faster more talented drivers tend to be allot smoother.


it's Toshio Suzuki. he's 54 and one of the official Nissan R35 test drivers. you're right, he wouldn't be world class in terms of talent, his speed would come mostly from his knowledge of the car.

Fuck you Japan. FUCK. YOU. Really. All of you and your entire culture can burn in the same nukes that take out all of motherfucking China as far as I care. You're all the fucking same.


All I want from you is a Nissan GTR R35. Other than that, you're useless.

U see if he had used R factor, Gtr evo . then it probably would have translated far better, also it dosent take that much skill to brake mid corner without totally losing the car clarkson is probably a bit of a noob driver.

Its not , i would say its in the top 4 it has some problems with grip simulation at lows speeds also the tracks are too smooth to emulate the notch fealing you get on a real race track. lfs is defently the best designed in terms of getting into a race with other people though and the interface is relay nicely executed.

best racing sims in order.

I racing , Ritcherd burns rally , Gtr evolution , R-Factor , LFS

i don't like R factor but the fact is on average it has better physics simulation than LFS Evan if its a mess takes ages to set up and has hardly any decent online servers,

oh and don't bother with I racing because in my opinion it costs to much and you don't get good value for money Evan if it dose have the best physics and car handling simulation. you can find a "free" version of i racing that gives you access to all tracks and cars with no multilayer letting you practice driving on the most acuret sim without having to pay a ridiculous monthly fee.

Oh if you have R factor make sure you download BOBs ( maker of bobs track boulder)laser scanned track

Yeah the 1993.5 - 1998 Toyota Supra MKIV was definitely the real "first" Japanese super car. It's a severely under rated vehicle. edit: The skylines were also very similar performance wise but not sold in the US market obviously.

Yes I own one.

My '97 put down 443 RWHP on a completely stock parts car save for an exhaust system. That translates into around 525HP as manufactures rate things (at the crank normally).

It now has an after market turbo on it and everything else is still stock. It lays down 505 RWHP currently. The stock fuel system is now at it's limits however. Still, not bad considering that it's making right at 600HP at the crank on essentially all stock stuff minus a turbo.

Anyway.. Just saying! Last generation Supras are nothing short of super car fast and on top of everything else... Dead reliable at the same time. I've owned this car for almost 10 years.

I do like the new GTR though. The in car toys are awfully nice and it's a wonderful base platform to start with. However at almost 4000lbs it's in serious need of a diet. The supra tips the scales at 3350 without driver (mine does anyway). Figure every 6 lbs of weight is roughly equal to 1hp needed to keep acceleration the same between two different weight vehicles. So that 480hp GTR at 39xx lbs would be able equal acceleration wise to a 380hp 33xx lb car.

Anyway...blah, I can ramble on about this stuff

The GTR is "sloppy seconds" for Americans. The GTR has been out in Japan for years.

It's just known as a "Skyline" there.

>> ^JAPR:
over 10 is long

That's what she said.


I'd consider the twin turbo Toyota Supra mark IV a Japanese supercar at least production-wise. The cool thing about the older Toyotas and Nissans are the potential they have for added horsepower. This dude that lived down the road from me a few years back with too much time and money on his hands (yes that's jealousy you detect) built a 1000hp supra. He had a couple others beefed up too.

But that was back when street racing and techno was cool. Now we've gotta conserve gas and listen to Phish.

McLaren F1, if your talking super cars thats the only one the rest are just fancy car's. It comes with a full matching luggage 2 sets of tools 1 gold plated, 1 titanium, its has a center steering column which is just cool. plus its just flat out amazing performance and a mechanic is flown out to your house to fix it and do maintenance for life not 5 years for life. Plus the top speed is much higher when you start to look at the F1 GTR, or LM or any of the follow years but they only made 5 of the LM and 28 GTR and 3 GT's. These cars are 2 steps from being the 24 hour lamon's ready. the only change is tires and body both of which take about half hour each. ferrari cant say that and the rest are posh crap that your are driven in so its a nice ride but thats what your supposed to do is ride in it. screw that i want to drive it.
