if u read the first bullet, it talks about 1000 cars to customize and upgrade. i hope what they mean by upgrade is the stuff we've seen (like engine upgrade, carbon hoods) and customize is yet to be revealed.

 

[eSZee]

Yes, that is likely what they mean. Body(aero) upgrades, wheel upgrades.

I did enjoy the Need For Speed Underground series, but full-on bodykits are not really right for GT. I expect some light modification, perhaps things like spoilers, rims and rollcages, but I doubt we will be able to add neon underglow etc.

Performance adjusting mods then. Parted body kits rather than full on body kits. I'd imagine it might either be like the wings system of GT4 or simple 3 or 4 stages, having affects on weight and aero. It's racing at a professional level. No neon, or strange colored head or brake lights, funky window tint. However, for head and brake lights, I think they should be upgradeable. Brighter more powerful headlights (obvius reasoning) and maybe LED brakelights. Specially if weather is included (dense rain, what if they include heavy fog?), some cars have taillights that don't light up very well. It's a simple and I think reasonable solution. Specially for online races. Any thoughts? Too much? Too little? Unreasonable idea?

 

[happycorey]

I think blinking rear fog lights for heavy rain would be nice, if the rain might be too heavy

 

[Marvdogger]

They should make torque split tunning go from a scale of 0-100 and not 0-50 like it GT4. Would make it abit simpler to get my 30 front 70 rear torque split for aspalt.

 

[Griffith500]

Yes, that is likely what they mean. Body(aero) upgrades, wheel upgrades.

I doubt you're intentionally contradicting yourself, but I suppose that aero parts don't constitute tuning to you?
Or did you mean (earlier) that the majority of after-market body parts are not really aerodynamically "viable", so they're more a superficial modification? In that case, I would agree (hence my quip regarding NFS Underground).

I do believe, though, that aero parts (bumpers, splitters, diffusers, wings, skirts, canards etc. etc.) are useful to tune the overall handling characteristics. That might all be a bit complex for GT, but RaceMods are supposedly back in some form or other


The ability to separate the diffs would be nice - whilst a realistic torque split is probably around what we've seen in GTs to date (owing to the nature of the diffs - usually mechanical) it would be useful to just disconnect an axle and lock the centre diff, like they used to do with the 4WD Audis at circuits like Monza. Then of course there are the electronically controlled diffs, and the manual lockers - perhaps adjusted with that on-screen jog-dial thing for brake bias, etc.

I meant aero as in body kits. I didn't mean splitters or wings but even then, putting them on isn't tuning. Putting them on simply alters the aerodynamics of the car. That isn't tuning from what I've learned and experienced. Adjusting them after the install to achieve the wanted results, is tuning.

agreed.

 

[Tornado]

I'm not sure magical bodykits count

I didn't mean that. I meant tuning tuning.

 

[Antonisbob]

So rain tires? And several times weather is mentioned. So... During long races if it begins raining you might (if you want) Be able too enter the pits, and switch from racing slicks too rain tires (such as during the 24 hours of le mans or something) That would be cool.

 

[Rey-FD]

Do you think we will be able to see a visual difference when installing the Sports/Ti Semi-Racing/Ti Racing mufflers?
I don't really want to still see the tiny stock RX7 muffler even after I've installed the huge titanium racing... 💡

Most likely, I mean why show diffrent exhause tips if they don't change on the car or anything? Right?

Man.. Headers thats awesome, Can't wait to slap on a pair of those on a classic 60's/70's V8 with the improved sounds! Oh so sweet...!

 

[Rey-FD]

Most likely, I mean why show different exhaust tips if they don't change on the car or anything? Right?

Man.. Headers that's awesome, Can't wait to slap on a pair of those on a classic 60's/70's V8 with the improved sounds! Oh so sweet...!

I hope so! No straight pipes?

I just realized that this screen is only for the exhaust system.
In past Gran Turismo games, exhaust modifications also added free-flowing air filters.
So I guess this means that there will be an intake parts screen too.
Maybe we will be able to separately choose different air filters and tuned intake manifolds or airboxes for example.

GT5 Tuning by Mines??

I was browsing the internet looking up real world tuning options and came across something that looked familiar.

http://www.ppi-mines.com/R35_GTR.html

Take a look at those GC10 screen shots of the tuning prior to checking that site out and you'll come to the conclusion that either Mine's worked with PD or influenced their design choices.

GC10 is an old skyline model so I was looking all over for GC10 tuning shots.
Either way, I highly doubt there is any relation. The mines pictures are no different that what other companies use, just different backgrounds. You can even see listings on ebay using the same angles. Unless I'm missing your point completely?

I see what you are saying, but what caught my eye was if you remember the Infinity G37 (the one that won the SEMA award) you can see the carbon fiber around the light housing, the hood, etc. If you have a HDTV, download the 18mp screen and zoom in.

Something to think about...

 

[Folkedahl]

I hope you can get a roots type supercharger for some cars. In GT4 all they had was the centrifugal type if I remember correctly.

Centrifugal

Roots

Roots superchargers make more power at low RPM and have better throttle response.

I remember slapping a supercharger on some cars in GT4 and the torque curve was characteristic of a medium-efficiency, direct-driven 'charger - i.e. snappy low down, but asthmatic up top. Kinda sounds like a roots!

I'd be very happy if the option to use a centrifugal, roots-type, Lysholm-type etc. were possible.

Something to think about...

You really are looking into it way too far.
I see the similarity but it's not something unique to either of them.
If you're talking about the CF hoods and trunks.

 

[witham]

Well if we have dynamic weather we will have to be able to do this otherwise you would just crash.

If we had page 3 of the mines tuning of just some of them options I would be happy. You have seriously opened my eyes as I didn't want tuning visualy in gt5 but know I have seen these mines parts I hope PD can match this it would be great and I think we can as from looking at the picture below i think we will be able to change skirts as the doors are popped out also, bonnet (of course)and spoilers and as long as PD but in some well finished parts like the the ones even further below it would be great.

maybe even these two as they are popped out in the PD pics

I disagree. I could be wrong, but doing a complete carbon fiber panel upgrade only makes too much sense as a Stage 3 upgrade.

This type pf visual upgrades makes sense and it falls right in line with Kaz stated.

We can also take a look at the FACT that on the Premium automobiles, each panel is individually done. A Carbon Fiber hood and door replacement could be easily implemented.

You're disagreeing with something I never said.

 

[shirakawaa]

The more I see this image, the more I think that this will be specifically for chassis weight reduction only, unlike past games.

I wonder if there will be a screen for weight reduction of the interior of the car, like for example removing back seats, interiors, sound proofing, swapping front seat with bucket seats, lexan windows, etc. Surely all those things don't cost only 500+1000+2000 credits (or euro/dollars).

 

[Tornado]

The more I see this image, the more I think that this will be specifically for chassis weight reduction only, unlike past games.

I'd hope so. The way it was handled in the past never made any sense (and many other games are guilty of the same thing, mind you).

 

[eSZee]

Do you mean body, not chassis? Body panels are not part of the chassis as far as I'm aware. So if anything, that picture only shows body weight reduction. As for chassis weight reduction, I doubt such a thing would be included, I'm not too familiar with chassis weight reduction but chassis stiffening, foam injection, rigidity increase, roll cages, yeah.

 

[shirakawaa]

Yes, sorry, you're right. Anyway, my point was that probably we will see something similar for the interior of the car. I wonder if on Premium cars we would be able to actually see the changes.

 

[SuperShouden]

hey, I know this has probably already been pointed out, but no more going to the dealerships to tune your car. It'll all be done in GT Auto, now. YAY!

 

[freshseth83]

I think that picture is just a general 'statement' showing the door and hood and all though seems to me that those parts can be individually modified. I could be wrong as well, but the prices to me just seem like something that PD threw together as a little preview not as a real screen shot or a reflection of the actual price. I'm willing to bet there is more detail to this 'tuning' and 'customization' than what we currently see or know. Maybe (hopefully) TGS will show something more along these lines, my bet is they won't

 

[maxpontiac]

You're disagreeing with something I never said.

Excuse me for my part in adding to the confusion, but I was only disagreeing with you stating that I am looking to much into it.👍
