GT5 Car Tuning comfirmed details

No there are not more questions than answers
Normal tyres are tyres which you put on normal cars
like on a opel or Ford or what ever
this tyres are not special and they are not good on a racing track

why you are confused if the sport tyres have 4 options and the racing slicks only 3 ? you don't need to be confused
I think the racing slicks have only 3 options because they are very good
Hard Medium and Soft this is enough

and i never saw soft rain tyres you can't find soft or medium rain tyres , rain tyres are all the time hard like in F1

engines are made of lots of different parts anyway.. what thatb screen shows to me is the old N/A tunning options

ENGINE options in GT4
NA Tuning S1,S2,S3
Port Polish
Engine Balancing
Displacement UP
Racing Chip
Nitrous

so there will be more options but what your looking at seems to be the old N/A engine tunning bit which was anoying not to have for turbo cars as you would still need to do all the internals on a turbo engine anyway..

as for ths main engine used in the picture any nissan head will tell you that that is a nigh on perfect copy of a VQ37HR engine as used in the 370z

although they havent quite got the water outlet correct.. and in the real pictures its missing its cam chain covers.. PD does love nissan

what i meant was that in previous GT games they had real life pictures or 2D icons of parts in GT Auto. Here we can see the actual engine which is actually modeled for premium cars. To me it looks that way.

It gives me chills just looking at these options . Can't hardly wait,this is going to be fun.

The tuning is looking great; it certainly looks more interesting than in previous games. It also looks like we may have more choice in aftermarket parts (the exhaust parts show this) if we could physically see them on the car then that would also be great. Imagine seeing a car with a full weight reduction having no interior panels or other seats in the car. It would be good to remind you that it’s been turned into a racing car not a glorified road car as GT4 did. If there is to be a livery editor that would also be great or at least bring back the racing modification option.

People moaning about the engine tuning options shouldn't be so quick put it down. We have only seen NA tune options, there is bound to be turbo and supercharger options plus extras that can be fitted to an engine (nitrous oxide for example)

Other tuning options like port polish and engine balancing or increasing displacement are likely to still be there, they have been in all previous GT games why stop now after all this time? They may have broken engine tuning into multiple sections

Just need to be patient and see

 

[Consigliere]

Slightly OT but does anyone here know what the "A" and "B" at the top of the pictures indicate? They seem to "fill up" in some way..

My immediate guess would be that it has to do with A-spec and B-spec but in what way?

Any guesses?

I had my doubts. Still do as it's nowhere near perfect.

 

[opladener]

I know google translator isn't the best, but I took the last option of tires - "regenreifen hart" and it translated into "rain mature hard".

I dare you enter that into google

 

[Raceworx]

I had my doubts.

Had doubts or have doubts?

What pleases me is there is no mention of ****ing performance points!! i hate them spit on the idea.. if you want to limit a race do it on HP, control tyres, drivetrain layout or make.. not mystical performance points that were so obviously flawed in GTP

 

[eSZee]

I dare you enter that into google

Left 4 DEad comes up.

 

[opladener]

Indeed, that was unexpected

 

[eSZee]

Had doubts or have doubts?

Have doubts. It just looks like the motor is based on the VQ but things were changed to prevent any kind of legal action. It also looks like it has a single air inlet.

From what I can gather so far, it has to do with some type of new A-spec/B-spec point system.

 

[opladener]

Speaking of A and B, I hope you can save more than 3 configurations this time.
With HD space available in abdundance, we should be able to save as many configs as we want.

 

[Devedander]

Looks pretty sweet... I wonder if weight reduction effects will be visible on the cars when racing?

It would be so sweet if you could access tuning during a race (like at the restart or even in the pits). I have never liked having to back out and go into a seperate tuning area to tinker... when I realize my gears are too tall I would love to be able to hit restart and change them while the car and track are still loaded, then race right away.

on the super huge resolution you can just see the other inlet plenum but it looks like its minus its TB.. the TB on the digital one is also upside down.. but its a pritty good recreation.. PD and nissan are very close if it wasnt for GT then nissans GTR wouldnt have half the folowing it does likewise the japanese tuning industry would be alot smaller.. this game introudiced cars to the current generation.. and unlike porsche i firmly belive nissan has seen the advertising benifits of being in bed (so to speak)with PD..

and now seemingly mercedes have seen the benifits 👍

i carnt see why any car manufacture would have any problems with anything of theres being used in such a game..

 

[Spagetti69]

Nissan GTR wouldn't have half the following if it wasn't for GT.
I'm not sure about that. Have Porsche bombed because there not in GT.

If I had the money for a nice car I wouldn't test drive it in GT games, I'd take a real one out.

Not having a go, just trying to live in the real world.

 

[freshseth83]

Porsche has been around since the 70's. Nissan's GTR has it's roots back then but when have they been known for their sports cars, namely the Z and GTR? They've definitely gained popularity from GT. Heck, even Super GT (JGTC) has gained popularity because of GT. It's proven. Because of GT (and a little help from Fast & Furious) Nissan was convinced further to bring the GTR over to America. Europe is an old world, America is not. Those who don't know find out through media outlets like GT.

Well it appears that a media outlet like GT doesn't really add much to your knowledge judging by your statement that Porsche has been around since the seventies...........
Please do some research as Porsche was established in 1931, their first car was build in 1938 ( a one-off racer ) and the first production car ( and the proper start of the company as it is today ) was in 1948.

dude i didnt say that the only way for people to advertise cars is in GT of course Porsche havent bombed because there not in GT have they missed out on getting there product placed in a game aimed squarely at there next generation of customers.. yes they have.. if your in a GT game your putting your company brand in millions of homes and its going straight to the people who are intrested about it.. fact thats a sales departments wet dream..

and where did i say you test cars out in GT.. its brand awareness, if you like it in the game as a child/teenager you end up remembering the brand just in the same way in the old days if your dad had a ford you liked ford because thats what your dad had..

 

[African Kat]

Exhaust branch manifold seems to have been modelled on a Mugen branch meant for a Honda B16a/b?

 

[STJ88]

It's no VQ, because the VQ is an open-deck design. That engine is a closed-deck.

 

[mazdaman]

I have a question are we able to tune our ecu? Also I hope GT5 isn't like the previous ones, were in order to gain horsepower you have to add all stages of parts.

 

[Griffith500]

It's no VQ, because the VQ is an open-deck design. That engine is a closed-deck.

And the coil packs are missing, at least in that pic. The earlier 350Z had a single throttle body.

It is quite similar, though. The gubbins on the timing covers pointed me to Nissan, for some reason...

You'll also notice that the coolant and oil passages in the block are less than ideal...
It's clearly an interpretation of an engine, rather than a 1:1 model. It could also be a work in progress.

EDIT: I think it's a VR38...

 

[Raceworx]

It's no VQ, because the VQ is an open-deck design. That engine is a closed-deck.

so now were taking it as the renderd block is meant to be from the main picture aswell as the crank and pistons? if so then its a VR..

the 3.5 350z engine did come with a single TB but i have got a magazine article of it pre launch with the duel TB inlet manifold later used on the 3.7 and GT-R

as far as im awair the only difference between the VQ and VR is in the block which as quoted is closed deck and doesnt have liners..

Also, after the facelift, the 350Z had a twin-throttle setup. And I'm pretty sure the GT-R's intake is bespoke... (350Z plenum lower w/ runners, for comparison)

Also, I think the picture of the block is mirrored... and that crank and cams definitely didn't come out of a V6!


I'm hoping for more clarification in the coming weeks. There is still a lot we don't know. Failing that, I could just wait until the game is released.

 

[Raceworx]

it wouldnt suprise me itf there are different intakes.. there are 5 different intakes for the SR20 engine depending on sepcification..

i just think there general representations.. and they most probably did just model a nissan engine and it is most likely a VR with the amount of access they had to the GTR..

if im honest i think they will have the same options as GT4 with maybe a few more options like the way they have seperated the exhausts they might seperate out the cams or inlets ect but im not expecting much more.. as to get more requires going deeper than most people are intrested in.. id love a selection of cams that work with different intakes and manifolds in different ways..

I would tend to agree with you, the components are definitely intended as general, but are based on real parts.

I also would love those options you mentioned. A two-tier system would work wonders: one like GT4, and one with more in-depth options; hopefully this would satisfy most people.

 

[Raceworx]

TBH ill be perfectly happy with GT4 level tunning the only thing that ever botherd me was the fact you coulnt use N/A tunning bits with a turbo or put large turbos on N/A cars.. i just pray that performance points have been removed and will never be thought of again..

id like a dyno and some tuning options Boost ect but theres no way i can see them putting in full mapping software and engine specs for over 1000 cars..

also its kind of pointless if there isnt any kind of engine damage simulation.. as all you would end up doing is winding the boost up fr more power..

 

[maxpontiac]

Looks very promising. Can't wait to see what happens once you click an option.
