You crash into cars like a mad-man TOO hu
(gotta put that in my sig.👍 )tamiya-the effects are'nt as strong when I take the turbo off...because it's not as fast (obviously) but it's still there.
I bought the car...it handled fine.
Modded the car...it handled fine.
After about 1900 miles, a bunch of major collisions...handles like crap.
Yes, I tried the chassis refresh and changed the oil.

With mine it started as soon as I added the Stage 4 turbo and stopped as soon as I took it off. It could not have been the settings, however, as I left them on default, and now, a few B-spec races later, the car works just fine again in A-spec even with the Stage 4 turbo put back on.
The handling problems were very different from the high speed shaking you get with a wheel. The car would feel very slippery even at low speeds, loss of control would start at around 180 mph, and the car would not even really shake back and forth but head straight for the wall much faster than what happens at over 200 with a DF or DFB.
...plus the Audi was brand new at the time and did have a roll cage.

Same here. I use the standard controller, but vibration isn't really a problem. The blasted thing just lunges for the wall at high speed.

I have similar problems...it's not only the high speed shake but also like you described, handles poorly at low speeds as well.
The high speed thing is the most glaring problem though. For example, on Fuji, the sharp turn after the long straight, I have to brake WAY early, and I have to fight it like crazy to keep it straight.

no one has mentioned this yet.. but have you tried washing the car?! it sais that its supposed to help with aerodynamic drag and stuff like that.. try it and see if it handles differently at high speeds.

I don't know if you can call it a glitch or a bug or a defect...but as you can see in this thread it's not just me so it might have actually been an intended feature.
I don't know...I plan on tinkering with it again tonight but I will most likely just save up for another car...unfortunately.
fasternfaster
off topic, but....
Does washing the car really make any difference?
back to topic...
I've got the DFP and my Minolta with 20k goes ape over 180mph. On the oval, I have to struggle to keep it straight and if I slip just a bit, the car is flying all over the track. At least, my hands and forearms are getting a tiny workout.

It must have been glitch. Even though I upgraded the Audi as soon as I bought it and the problems were there right from the beginning, I did change the oil and had it washed, even took it to dinner and a movie, but the only thing that made a difference was taking the turbo back off. I won a second Audi by winning Le Mans, and I recently took that one for a test drive. I added the Stage 4 turbo and used the same default settings as with the first Audi, and it handles like a dream and has no problems at high speed. Strangely, then when I tried the original Audi again, with the turbo back on, and this time in need of an oil change, a wash, and a chassis refresher, it had no problems at all.

Well that could be it but I have found that if you set the limited slip diff dec to 60 and make sure the accsel is above 40, that realy helps at high speeds.
Just thought I'd add my testimony. This wear and tear has also happened to my Minolta. And it has lost 7 hp since I bought it. I also have to brake way early now. This all started happening when I passed about 1200 miles. Refreshing does nothing. Oil chages do nothing.
Thanks a lot, Polyphony Digital

if it is a glitch, every copy of GT4 would have the same glitchMr. White
so we call it a feature glitch?
but if everyone got that glitch ONLY because we ramming cars like destruction derby, then I would call this is a special feature like power loss by mileage
Similar problems in threads on other sites indicate it could be your controller, not your car. Wheels in particular seem to be a common problem, so try the car with another controller, such as a good old dual shock, and see what happens.
Another fix mentioned elsewhere is simply to shut it all down for an hour, let it cool down, then come back and try again.

Still using the dual shock...I'm a loser.
It's funny you mentioned shutting it down...last night when I was having the problems, the PS2 had been on all day doing an endurance race. I let it run the rest of the night and shut it off before I went to work.
I went home for lunch and tried it real quickly...and it seemed better. I did'nt have enough time to really test it, I just did a couple quick laps on the big oval.
Very strange.
I'll try it again tonight and see what happens.
I'm nowhere near as far into the game as you guys, so my only experience of these cars are on the licence test and at mission hall. I'm driving the Nissan R390GT on De La Sarthe and it wants to shake my teeth out. Now obviously I can't change any settings for it, but I did find that gently zig-zagging down the main straight helped it a bit!
I'm almost sure that the problem is caused by the car just bumping off the tarmac, then the tyres are screeching the rest of the way down the straight. I've got arm pump whilst typing this!
PS I have a DFP.

so..... this game has damage now??? or it's a bug?
- 290
I'm assuming it's likely a glitch more than a new feature. I don't recall PD ever mentioning a 'long-term damage engine' like has seemingly been stated in this thread, and something like that would be a pretty significant feature that they'd probably want to make everyone aware of. I'm noticing that the same cars seem to be cropping up here so maybe it's a bug with certain models? It wouldn't be the first glitch in this game anyway.

Yes it does. I was B specking one of the shorter, timed races in my R32 GT-R and at about lap 218 I decided to step in and a spec the last stint. The car wasn't very hard to controll, but it just didn't have the cornering grip it used to have. I really had to limp it around those last few laps. The chassis refresh unchecks it'self when it's time for a rebuild. sure enough it needed one and once I did that it was fine. Right now I'm doing the 9 hour one and with the pace setting on 1 I'm at a bout 220 laps at 4 hours and the lead is by 3 to 9 laps.

I'm glad I read this thread. Sure is a lot of money to fix the car though, 50 grand right? damn
I'm really enjoying watching this thread... There seems to be a common "understanding" here that if it's something that you like or that you think is good, then it's a "feature," but if it's something that you don't like or something that's making it harder, then it's a "bug" or "glitch"... hmmm just an observation.
I guess one of the things you could do Mr White is to try the German touring car race, it wont take you long to get the $$$ and get another one, race the same way and see what happens again. If it goes the same, then your test has been conclusive. If not, then there's probably something else that as yet is unexplained.
