Barrett, I just sent you your car.

Please duplicate and return.

Anybody else who needs it and is eligible to race in the lounge:

Please send me an email with your PSN name and GTP name: billpfisher@gmail.com

I will create a spreadsheet and we can start a sharing chain. Make sure you have already been added to the Lounge account or you are not eligible to receive the car.

Thanks!

Thanks Bill, I will do that as soon as I get home today. Gotta put my brothers new tires on his car after work and then go to my parents to borrow their printer/scanner to get my Academy forms filled out and sent back.

Btw is it just me or does the email say we have to mail a hard copy as well as email and electronic response?
 
Update on the
370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version) '08​


  1. Change to the vehicle list specifications in the first post (OP) of this thread:
    the 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version) '08 [not the untradeable 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy) '08 that has less power stock and can't be traded] will now be run at zero miles/kilometers with a fresh oil change making HP of 381 @ 516pp.

    Players that currently have broken-in Tuned 370's (GTA Version), please restore them to zero miles, then do an oil change. If your car is already at 0 miles/km, you're good to go.

    We changed this because we realized players can use a restoration ticket (RT) which resets the odometer/miles gained to 0. The RT does not take parts off of cars though (as the first description box says), so if you have a engine upgrade, you'll need to get a new one.

    Five restoration tickets were a gift in 2.02 upgrade only if you had previously purchased any of the October DLC packs. They are not tradeable/giftable and can not be awarded anymore. The tickets would be in your items list near the bottom in the same page as the free GT Auto service coupons - Game Items: Special Coupons.

    If you only got GT5 recently, or never bought DLC, you won't have a RT, so you'll need us to directly send you a zero mile Tuned 370. Please post a request in the thread if this is your situation and we'll get one to you with priority.

    This will make it easier for everyone to be at an even playing field with the car (which is probably the most important car to have complete parity with) and not have to resort to detuning and such in order to have everyone race.

  2. An alternate option to those guys currently waiting/looking for the 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version) '08:

    You can get the Academy cars in the Marketplace section of these forums. Just post a "wanted" thread and someone is bound to have one to trade, or possibly even just give you, if they have duplicates/care for your cause.

    You must specify that you are looking for a car with no miles/km on it.

We went to these lengths for this car because we feel it's the most challenging to race and thus requires the most amount of practice in order for everyone to feel comfortable racing it. It was the car that messed up the most people's races at Nationals last year, so get it nailed! Important!

Are restoration tickets tradable? I only have one in my gtp account but I think I have a few in my other account, if its tradeable I can send a few
 
Hi, first post here aswell. I was brought here and I'd like to race with you guys. My PSN is : JejeremyB
Qualified for France, fairly new to GT5/GT6 (coming from others sims on PC), I really need to improve my driving and pace on this game so, can't wait to race with you guys.
 
Anyone up for some races? I'm in the (empty) lobby at the moment.

EDIT: Hmm, I did the restoration on the Tuned 370Z (GT Academy Version, the right one), but it still sits at 381hp/516PP... strange.

That is where it should be with 0 miles and fresh oil.

Correct. I'm not sure what crack Eddie is smoking with the 367 thing.
Restoration ticket also puts it down to the fresh oil #, not the virgin OEM oil.

Lol I spent all night breaking in the car!

Will refresh it tonight. Lulz.... :)

:lol: Couldn't wait for "the man" to comment?
You had a good idea, I made sure it happened. :) 👍

I just found out there's a WRS ring-race tonight so I'm going to hop into that (because nordschliefe). Then I'll be a lounge-hound pretty much ever night til my plane leaves.

Just to clarify, this is the Z that you would have received from last year's academy? I restored mine and I think that's where it's sitting HP/PP wise.

no, it's what was used in the 2011 GT-Academy time trials. It's buried in the game and can be lucked out with a random car ticket. All the cars with the 2012 sticker on the door and say (GT Academy) in the title aren't gift-able. The tuned Z that says (GT Academy Version) and is gift/dupe capable is the car we're talking about.

Eddie: I'm going to send a 0 mile car to the lounge account so we have one readily accessible for dupe-chaining.

Ok, well I've got the one with the 2012 sticker and it is at 381HP 516 pp and this is the wrong one. Hummmm.

Same here. When I play around with the 2012 version I get slightly less HP for the required PP. Could I just race it or is the set up of the car drastically different? I don't want to gain an advantage, I think it will be slower and I don't mind that because it's pretty similar but if I am getting an advantage I'll seek out a 2011 spec.

So how can I join you guys and have the opportunity to race with you ? I'm kinda lost and I can't find precise information.
Thanks :)
 
I'll be up for a race in about an hour :) Got my uncle's G25 to get used to though, so I may be even slower tonight 👎
