GT4 General Discussion and Questions

[Hypnotoad]

I bought the Lancer for 9 grand. :/


It's good for the sunday cup, 4x4 cup and the first two tarmac rally's.

 

[Scaff]

Yeah. I bought a Mitsubishi FXO or so. Pretty awful and I made a mistake so I'm running Suzuka Short Circuit to get 1,500cr to buy myself a Supra next time. Only 9,00cr. away.

Made a mistake with buying this slow car.

The Mitsubishi FTO is not that bad at all, and certainly with a few mods and descent driving will do fine in the early days. Its certainly a long way from awful.

Well ok guys. Made some credits with profi races (switched from GTO to Supra 1990er model) and it is fine. Need to invest in better tyres otherwise I can't handle those 312bhp.

Grr need to drive a lot better.

 

[Metar]

312BHP? Anything from N3s will do fine for grip-driving. And with that much power, drifting is within your reach (N-tyres are free). From my conclusions on the GT4 plot-developement, as soon as you have an RWD/4WD car with 200HP or more, you're more or less set - anything with those specs can win the Capri rallys - and from then, money comes easy.

The FTO, I found, is a pretty nice car... Depending on setup, I guess, but not too bad for an FF in GT4.

 

[gt4005]

Hmm my Supra oversteers badly. Maybe I'm too fast? Or do I need special suspension?

 

[Metar]

Could be a lot of things.

Step a: Clear away all aids.

Step b: Try to adjust your stock driving.

Step c: Check out Scaff's Tuning Guides for help, or search in the tuning-section.

Thanks a lot. Will try that. Think some driving aids are on which I don't really use.

Check it later.

Tips:

ASM could be left off, always. A point of ASM-Understeer could help if you're going for lap-records, but off is more fun.

TCS: 1-3 points for racecars, if you want. Most sub-600HP roadcars can handle TCS 0 without a problem.

 

[Hypnotoad]

I can't believe people are defending the FTO... Hmmm..

It's slow, it's not THAT pretty, and as FF cars go it's pretty useless seeing as you're given a much better FF car for free anyway. Haha.

It's pants!! C'mon, say it with me!!

Ok so I did a bit better. Seems to work. Will upgrade the car and hopefully I can win the Japanese WC. Em and another question. What is Abarth? Someone mentioned that earlier.

Abarth, according to Wikipedia:

"Abarth was an Italian racing car maker founded by Carlo Abarth, of Austrian origins."

"Later, Abarth diversified in producing various tuning kits for road vehicles, mainly for Fiat. Abarth was also associated in producing sports or racing cars with Porsche and Simca.

Abarth was sold to Fiat in 1971, and the racing team sold to Enzo Osella. Abarth became the racing department of Fiat, managed by famed engine designer Aurelio Lampredi. Some models built by Fiat or its subsidiaries Lancia and Autobianchi were co-branded Abarth, the most famous being the Autobianchi A112 Abarth."

The car in bold is the car in GT4... About 70HP, FF, small, lightweight, and with an exterior that not many find beautifull.

I think it looks beast!!

A much better sight than the old Demio anyway. :\

I said not many. I'm among those who like it, just like I was one of the only ones in my area who was in favor of buying a Fiat Multipla MkI.

 

[gt4005]

Yeah I know Abarth but didn't someone mention it as an Abarth Race?

That's why I was confused.

Nope, it's not an Abarth racecar - but you can take it to the Kei-Car race in Beginners hall.

 

[gt4005]

Um thanks. Beginners hall? Never heard of it! Em yeah I should by GT4 in all details from Piggyback as well.

Don't waste your money on the piggyback guide, GT Planet will give you far more info, in more detail and it free (and yes I do have the piggyback guide so I do try and ensure no one else wastes money on it).

The car lists you find here are far more details and as a lot of them are in Excel format, they are sortable, Same with the race lists, etc.

For photomode tips and advice, plus a huge range of galleries you will find all you need here.

My own area is tuning, and it was the poor (and at times inaccurate) information in the piggyback guide that spurred me on to write my own tuning guides, and at the risk of self promotion, they are far better than the official guides info.

Stick to GT Planet, chances are anything you need GT4 wise is already here, just have a look at the sticky threads; and if its not already here then ask the question, you have an army of members all eager to help out.

I want the BMW 645Ci and M6!!!



I hope they have a huge "airport" track where we can roam around in our cars in a HUGE area and stuff around. That would be fun

Wet weather for it would also be a must have option too.

i think so too, and i reckon they should have skid-pans (i thnk this is how u spell it) too

Thanks Scaff If ur area is tuning could you give me advice how to tune my Supra 90er model) to the best compromise? I've the normal S3 tyres and they don't have much grip. Do I have to buy some suspension parts as well?

It's hard for me to get loads of credits and I couldn't found these "yo get 8,000cr after 5 races" championship.

My start into GT4 is more than slowly. But it makes a lot of fun.

 

[Street_RacerX]

how can i put a carbon hood on my AE86 trueno sprinter ?

 

[Famine]

You can't. Unless you're playing Need For Speed.

However, you can buy a Toyota Sprinter Trueno Shuichi Shigeno Edition from the Used Car garages (it's a 2000 model, so Used Cars 90's B) which happens to have a carbon fibre "hood".

S3 tyres give you plenty of grip, once you get used to them and are driving smoothly. Also watch what upgrades you currently have, as going all out on power upgrades without any balance in handling will cause problems.

The best thing to do is create a thread in the GT4 Settings and Tuning sub-forum with exact details of the car and any upgrades that you currently have, that way myself and other will be able to offer advice on teh best direction to head it.

I also have to ask, what licence tests have you currently done and to what level, as they will get you used to smooth inputs and control, particularly if you aim for silver or golds.

It's hard for me to get loads of credits and I couldn't found these "yo get 8,000cr after 5 races" championship.

My start into GT4 is more than slowly. But it makes a lot of fun.

The best early money spinning race is the Special conditions Costa Di Amalfi one, complete both races (normal and reverse) and then sell the prize car for around Cr250,000, that should get you started well.

[gt4005]

Yeah thanks will try that.

Hmm try to post all my configuration. Using a DS2 is cool but I use a lot of tyres. So with the rubber you could cover whole Daytona Speedway. Tyres are green in the front and blue in the back.

 

[fastestkidever]

what is the fastest car in gt4 i think its toyota one but not sure

 

[Diego440]

I'm pretty sure it's the Fiat 500 with a full stage turbo, on racing tyres.... although the Citroën 2CV is pretty darn close on straights.

 

[HackiRoku]

A little question for you, i wanna make a video with convertible car, to see the drivers, top off, i buy few car to realize that, but exept a S2000, i didnt find another car will do the same thing, someone can help me.

 

[samj_13]

The Mazda Miata's top can be taken down, as well as the Shelby Cobra, AC Cars 427, the Mercedes SL65, etc. Most soft top convertibles have this neat little feature, with the exception of the Viper.

 

[Metar]

The roof is almost always down in Single-lap/Time Trial mode. However, in Arcade Mode races, you have an option of the top down or up - if you select top down, you can only race one AI car...

 

[D-Mind]

How can you make shots of a race in GT4.. not just from a free run but from a race against more cars?

After the race, save the replay. Go to the replay theater (either from GT World or the Main Screen), replay the replay you saved. Press 'Select' to pause and enter photomode.
