Sick looking stuff Blitz!! All the other new stance cars as well đź‘Ť
For all those asking "how u do that", or "what chassis did you use"....everyone send a PM to SlipStream asking to have this thread reopened! Clearly these hybrids are everywhere already, are being discussed in almost every section of GTP....hopefully chassis swaps are now "popular enough" that they are an acceptable ToS violation
It would be great to have a list somewhere of which bodies fit on which chassis....people describing WHAT parts they use is not the same as people describing HOW they put those parts together.

Couldn't agree more buddy!!!
The hypocrisy that has been displayed by the staff of GTP regarding these hybrids and the associated "ToS Violations" is sad, disappointing, but mostly, laughable. Discussing ToS violations are against GTP AUP....except for those ToS violations which are too popular and numerous for GTP staff to stop...things such as duping cars, duping paint chips, duping car/birthday tokens, trading DLC paint, the perma-borrow glitch, and discussion of trading hybrid cars (including making specific requests for Frankenstein cars, such as "Can someone make me a S15 with Z34 stance, an RB motor and ER34 drivetrain") are all ok ToS violations...but discussion of which chassis fit under which body is against the AUP.....OK then
....like I said, laughable.Does anyone have an explanation as to why GTP feels the need I uphold the ToS?? GTP isn't in any way an "Official" GT website, so other than kissing Sony/PD's 🤬 for brownie points, I don't see why they feel the need to do it.
When GT6 comes out, it wouldn't surprise me at all if PD releases an official GT forum on their website (similar to WoW or CoD or BF)....at which point, GTP will cease to have a reason to exist, unless they can offer something the official site doesn't...
If GTP doesn't want to be a "third party, anything goes" forum for GT, eventually, someone else will come along and make their own forum (like thottbot and elitist-jerks for WoW). I'm looking forward to the day that we don't have to tiptoe through the tulips when it comes to discussing any and all aspects of this game.
Would anyone care to add me up? I don't want to risk talking about it here.

Hmm...ignoring all the reasons you have for allowing discussions and the like regarding these hybrids...the fact remains, and WILL always remain that this site has it's rules that are set by the owners of the site.Couldn't agree more buddy!!!

If they wish to prevent talk about piracy, hacking or men in flip flops then they can even if you, me or anyone else may disagree.
If you want an open GT community then why don't you take the lead and make your own forum site. That way, you can discuss what you like.
And the fact that you think an officially run forum on any PD website will allow discussions of hacking or whatever proves you're a bit naive mate.
Start a Facebook group, invite people to join it, that way YOU can moderate it how you like...or you can continue to moan about it here.
Good luck with your quest for hybrids and hacking discussion and sharing.

PM'ing me won't change anything for the time being. That thread was closed to avoid it becoming a resource thread, a list to make building these things easier. Note that I've never even said I'm against them personally - they can have their uses, and the potential for reading replays and discovering any foul play would be very handy - but people going in and modifying their saves wreaks havoc on the online community in a way someone backing up a save before they send a paint chip off could never do.

We can only clean up after that which we know. We don't allow any discussion for game-sharing, for example.
I don't see the need for the entire website to suffer because some people can't point their browser to another site.
They do have official forums already. Our daily hit-count is geometrically higher than those. GTP, by dint of being unofficial, does allow for a bit more open discussion than an official website; witness the criticisms of GT5. If you believe an official forum would allow such discussions, to say nothing of this recent rash of save-hacking, well... I'd like some of whatever you're having.
Nobody is forcing you to stay here.

I dont understand how some of you keep picking on mods like this even after such a good point has been given like the one above.
If you go back and read his answers again and have a little bit of common sense then you'd realize that he's not only talking about the lowering of cars and the widening of wheelbase.
There's more things you're capable of doing with this. Some of wich I bet you're already familiar with (putting crazy amounts of BHP under the hood of your car to completely ruin online racing for instance).
Arguing with mods is always going to be pointless cause there's no way that they're ever going to feel intimidated by you.

Why are people arguing with the mods about this....the rules are laid out for us all. If you don't like it...LEAVE and make your own forum.
And questioning if the mods are on some sort of earner from PD is just insulting. Maybe the owners want to stay on the right side of legality and not risk the wrath of a big company who look on GTPlanet favourably.
Just leave it, you've been told how it is so grow up abit and move on...enjoy your hacks.

I just think it's rather odd that you decided to not allow this one aspect of hybrid discussion (ie which bodies fit on which chassis), when that is the one aspect of building hybrids which actually has no effect on performance....it's purely visual. Other than eliminating the trial and error aspect of adjusting wheel fitment, a body/chassis list does nothing to actually make building hybrids easier.
....add to the fact that there is dozens upon dozens of instances of this exact discussions going on around the forums, and nothing is being said about it by the staff. That thread would have at least helped contain the topic to one thread. I thought you guys were all about organization and making sure things are in the right place
That's fine, you have every right to chose what you want to allow and what you don't want to allow....but I think it's a very bad look for the staff to pick and chose which aspects of the ToS they want to enforce. Either enforce it, or don't.
As a GTP member, it's just slightly frustrating to see the staff say "it's ok to trade hybrids, it's ok to show pics of them, it's even ok for someone to ask for or show pics of this is my RX7 with a 787b 4-rotor, AWD from a GTR, transmission from a ISF" but as soon as someone says "350z chassis fits well under a s13", that's going too far? That's making it "too easy" to build hybrids, which will flood and ruin the online community???
Before you call me out and suggest that I'm on something, have a read through my previous post again....I never said an official website would allow more discussion...rather, it would be the opposite (ie more restrictive). I guess I just don't understand why GTP would want to be as restrictive (ok, in your defence, nearly as restrictive) as the official site. Like I said, other than to gain brownie points, what's the point?
Not the first time I've seen GTP staff throw that out there...damn, it must be nice to be on top. I sincerely hope things stay that way for you guys long into the future...
Cool story bro đź‘Ť
Firstly, I'm not picking on the mods. I'm trying to understand why they are doing things the way they are.
No one is trying to intimidate mods...and I hope non of the mods are trying to intimidate members. The members and the mods should be able to have a mature discussion about what type of content is allowed on the site. Of course, mods have the final say...but it would be nice if they toned down the "my way of the highway" attitude.
Of course there are all kinds of things you can do to your car that will effect their performance online....which is why this whole issue of not being able to discuss chassis swaps is
. The staff has said it's ok to talk about building and trading 3000hp civics (which can effect online play), but they're saying it's not ok to discuss which chassis fit under which bodies (which has no effect on performance, hence no effect on online play)....Look, it's GTP's number one Yesman

Ok, so I've been M.I.A. for a while, then I come back to some awesome looking cars straight from GT5. Look's like I have a reason to start playing GT5 again.
and Twitch you shouldn't worry about not being able to talk about hybrids here, the site has rules for a reason. Sometimes they may not always make sense to you or me or a lot of others. But, there are other places where we can talk about it, like we can use skype or something similar. Hint. Hint. to any of you that may want to give me a few tips.

Perhaps because it isn't purely visual, for one... but fair point.

The trading thread, and the subsequent additional threads on, guess what, hybrid trading, lead me to believe it rarely helps.
Time-trials and open lobbies are a mess, I checked the latter with my secondary account last night. As I've alluded to earlier though, there may be some salvation if this diving into saves can also work for replays (and I see no reason why it shouldn't, going off the info I've already found), which will make policing fair rules and the jobs of stewards much easier in organized online series, but that is best saved for another discussion.
These "restrictive" rules have been in place for a very long time - to a lesser extent, it's also why we're such sticklers for proper English and grammar - because it promotes a more mature, well-thought-out community. GTPlanet flourished precisely because Jordan didn't want it devolving into the same text-speak-littered place that other fan sites fall into. If you want to consider that "brownier points" that the site enjoys a closer relationship to Sony and PD than any other of its kind because of that, that's your choice.
It has nothing to do with being on top. If I don't like the rules somewhere I won't stay. I've never quite understood the opposite approach.
...
That all said, if you truly believe that thread will not result in more detailed discussions of precisely how to pull off what is being talked about in the thread, I'll open it back up, and we can end this side-note within this thread.
