B-spec Point Maximizing Quick-Reference Links

SportWagon · Aug 18, 2005

I have created this thread to make it easier for others to get to the "true meat" of the B-spec ( Bspec ) discussions, and learn how to maximize their B-spec points. Preferably don't start discussions in this thread here. Well, a good thing to post here might be suggestions of links to be added here.

This thread is referenced by the stickied/locked FAQ thread/posts, to make it hopefully easy-to-find.

Anyway, here's my current list of useful links, mostly to single posts.

The following are the main Bspec point threads. (They contain the above posts, but are long and difficult to read in their entirety, and even contain some misinformation; I found printed-out copies of most of the above single posts to be invaluable, yet sufficient)

Sometime I'll probably completely re-order and/or edit this whole message . . .

It would be really great if this thread here could be added to (I mean referenced by) the stickied/locked FAQ thread/post.

Done. Good work.

Thanks.

Bspec is properly spelled B-spec .

I have corrected it in the thread title, but am adding this post with "Bspec" in the post title so that searches will find that, too.

Edit: Initially that didn't seem to work, but it seems to now, Something to do with the ordering of search results.

Wow. That automatic translator is weird sometimes.

I think lots of Japanese names must be phonetic approximations of the foreign names.

So "Circuit de la Sarthe" becomes "Monkey Tosser Kit". "Tosser Kit" might be phonetic for "Tah Circuit", but I can't quite figure out the Monkey. And it is weird if the apparent translation of the words have those appropriate English sounds. (So perhaps the Japanese for Monkey sounds like the appropriate name in English (actually French); but perhaps, "Kit", for example is an invented Japanese word for use in matching foreign names; or perhaps the fact "ser Kit" sounds like "Circuit" is pure coincidence--after all, in French it is more like "serkey" anyway).

Anyway, when I'm trying to improve my S-15 license times, I will occasionally giggle inexplicably when I think about tossing monkeys.

Edit: But, in fact, I see no occurrences of the "Monkey Tosser Kit" phenomenon when I use the above translation links today...

Er. Yes I do. But it seems today followed links no longer get automatically translated, or something. E.g.

Thanks for the links and instructions.

I may be missing something, but I can't find the "Nissan Fairlady Z Concept LM Race Car '02" listed as the D car. I check three sources, including the official Play Station web site. I do find the "350Z Concept LM Race Car" - is this the same?

Orion_SR · May 30, 2006

That's the right car. It's the prize from the JP Championship. Fairlady is the name from the Japanese version used by the original author. BTW, the best place to ask B-spec questions is on the thread below. We prefer to use this topic for managing reference links to messages that provide the most useful information.

If you are using the updated car list from the original JP author, then use the Nissan Micra '03 for the Nissan March 12c 5 door `01 default (A-1). Even if it isn't the same car, I have tested the Micra for A-1 floating points and would recommend it over the Lupo.
