Ever noticed the 4th gear glitch on the Integra GSR

[The Vanishing Boy]

I road tested this car (Acura Integra GSR) at the Test Course I noticed that after the 3rd gear it just went through 5th right away (when you blink you'll miss the 4th gear popping out on the screen). Does this happen on all GT2 versions? I got the V 1.2, and I would like to know the perfect gear ratio for the 4th, 5th and final gear ratio to resolve this new glitch.

Auto or manual?

Were you using a full-race tranny?

Everyone wants to find their own GT2 glitch, it's like the Old West circa 1849...

...I found gold!

Option2: Both.

Pupik: Nope, it all stock. In fact, I am not telling a lie, it really happened, I was trying to do a max speed time trial at the Test Course of all the cars in the game doing a custom 5 lap run. All of the sudden I tested the GSR's, and guess what, 4th gear didn't even worked. Since then I was flooded with skeptics.

I just ried this out. It doesn't "skip" fourth, but it may as well. Fourth gear in the GS-R only drops your engine speed by 500 RPM, but fifth drops it by 3000 RPM. :reallyodd

I can assure that this is not the case in real life.

Boy, I'd forgotten how good the sound is in GT2! One lap in the GeeSeR had me saying,"Yup, they recorded a real Integra...." The nasal bellow of the intake, the high speed buzz of the tappets...everything. Of course, it's not as loud and doesn't capture a lot of the low-frequency action, but that's OK...my neighbors might not approve.

...so it uses 4th gear, but only for 1/1000th of a second?

 

[risingson77]

Pretty much, yeah.

I got a Q for you all. what is a good set up for the ZZ II (588hp). I am a smoothish style driver but cant work this one out.

any help would be appreciated thanks

 

[Pupik]

I'm gonna check the Integras again. This is funny.

 

[askia47]

The integra does this? Very odd

 

[risingson77]

Just the GS-R, I think...dangit, now I have to go try it with the Type R! Thanks a lot....

Try running it through a surround-sound system with a subwoofer. It's plenty loud and deep.

 

[risingson77]

I have. The information just isn't there. :\

 

[Burnout]

cool

 

[risingson77]

FWIW, the Type R doesn't have this glitch.

Even the JDM version Honda Integra SiR doesn't affect on this glitch. Only the Acura Integra GSR versions is the only cars that are affected.

Hah, it is the '98 Integra GSR. Go figure! If this isn't reason enough to buy a full-race tranny before anythig else, then you're just looking for trouble.

I noticed the gear ratios:
3rd was 1.460
4th was 1.480

Interesting find; I couldn't check it last week because my Sim Disk wouldn't start (a large thumbprint had to be wiped off) up.
