nitrous oxide can not be used with diesel engines.

Thats wrong. Diesel engines can use nitrous and propane injection. It also works very well for those cars/trucks. Check out Bullydog.com or any other aftermarket diesel distributers.

hope when you instal "NOS" it adds weight to your car and screw up it's overall balance.

A nitrous tank, connections, fittings, the works, doesnt weigh that much. So, i highly doubt it will interfere w/ car balance.

I was happy to read that somone brought up the topic of the full throttle sensor. The whole push-button idea was completely stupid and FF fans should be ashamed. However, you do need to arm the nitrous before you use it. So, w/ that said, would a button and/or which button would serve this purpose?


Lastly, im tired of reading about "NOS flames". Nitrous does not cause a flame or a special colored flame in any way. Please, no more about "NOS flames".

I will say this. It will be interesting to run the '87 Buick GNX on the strip w/ nitrous.

I just want a penalty handling wise for having "nos", not necesarily a realistic implementation. It wouldn't affect drag racing but would affect other racing, if they allow "nos" in other types of racing.
 
N20 is allowed in the Jaguar Palmer series, each driver gets 3 shots per race, if I'm wrong Famine will correct me, but in general N20 is only used and allowed on the drag strips which is how I'd like it to be in GT4.
 
It should be baned to dragracing and maybe freeruns, for as long as they dont let you use it in road or circuitracing, then i'm fine with it.
 
I hope it can be used everywhere just to piss everyone off. I hope every kinda of car someone doesnt like is in the game. I also hope there are as many different types of the same car. I for one dont care.

Nos is not for "ricers". Come on people grow up and stop using the word ricer. But dont hate on other car cultures, I think its racist anyway. Seeing that Japanese car culture has spread over to the US and europe in a different way.

Fast and the Furious ruined nothing but your pride. You guys need to just ignore what you dont like. EA cashed in on and has the highest selling racing game since its release.

edit: You guys act like it would kill the fun out of the game. I dount the CPU would be using it if you weren't, plus race limits should be in effect and not just not allowing it at all :rolleyes:

I'm all for japanese car culture and the cars they use, but not for americas interpretation of it. American tuners are stuck on FF and N02. In japan other, much better forms of motorsports like drifting and gt racing prevail. The US (in general) just is blind to it.

thats why i said in a differnt way. Its a culture meaning not everyone thinks like that, but you are wrong, US is getting bigger and bigger every year with drifting and we even have JGTC this year. Ponitac of all companys is sponcering drifting GTO's. GT racing is just as big if not bigger in the US, its just over shadowed by *sigh NASCAR in the media. Not all americans believe in that car culture, just the ones that profit from it and encourage others to get in to it. You' must really hate Dub style car culture then :).

Oh god, I hate it. Except Funk master flexes muscle cars. Too many escalades and H2s
 
I dont know how I feel about N20 in the game, but whatevery happends PD will do a good job about it, so I have nothing to worry about
 
I think PD are looking at NOS in a different way to most people see it......when you see it you think, "Fast and Furious, NFSU"...........but PD are looking at it as "a performance tool, another tuning setup"......They will 'tame' the misconception of NOS for GT4.....treating it as a proper licenced tuneup.........just like any other thing in GT4.....such as goodyear tires!
 
yup my pt exactly. Dont worry about it... PD will not be more concerned w/ money and attracting the NFSU/ FNF crowd than staying to to racing... dont worry about GT4... 👍 I'm kinda looking foward to pwning some tuned up imports that use NOS w/ a damn near stock Viper 👍

Click to expand...
How wrong you are, PD is a buisness, like any other, they need to make money, the more they make the better, they want to make as much as they possibly can. However they shouldn't be interested in creating a NFS:U type of play into a GT game as it's not tieing in with the theme of the game. As far as robin2223's comment about N20 being used as a performance tool, how do you min a F&F type of way, isn't that the only way to use N20, inject it into the engine and get a sudden power hike?
 
you think they will betray their fans and own Automotive enthusiastic background to make the game sale more?
 
I hope when I hit the NOS button 3 foot long flames come out the back of my car that are the same color as my underglow. I like neon pink flames myself.

If what they will add will keep to the games theme, ie circuit racing and not detract from the simulation feel of the game then yes, if it makes the game sell more why not. If it did detract from thoes things then no as GT would lose focus and it would damage the games future. But then if the said addition fits in twith the games theme I can't see too many fans having a problem with it.
 
Im glad they added NOS*

1) GT is the real driving simulator 2) NOS is used in real life 3) To be a simulator there can be no NOS... Am i the only one who sees a breakdown in logic there?

I do think that NOS should add to the weight of the car just like i think every other upgrade should realistically change the weight of the car.

*NOS is short for Nitrous Oxide Systems. A pretty accurate description of what it is. Do you people correct every person who uses the terms Band-Aid instead of plastic bandage or Kleenex instead of nasal tissue?

NOS is a manufacturer not the system itself. Thats what people need to understand. So, why dont we just start calling Nitrous "Nitrous Works" or any other company that specializes in N2O for that matter?

Because NOS is shorter, describes it more accurately and is already the common term used.

What is NOS? A "N"itrous "O"xide "S"ystem

What is Nitrous Works? A "N"itrous "O"xide "S"ystem

It works for me at least.
 
Come on guys, this thread was supposed to be on the effects of NOS, not a debate on whether it should be in the game. Lets to to keep it on track here and quit the arguing. There have been numerous threads discussing whether NOS should be in GT4 and we don't need another.
 
A little off topic here, forgive me.

About the N2O system adding weight, it should. But another thing has bothered me. In the previous GTs, parts never added or removed weight, unless it was weight reduction. But TXR0 and TXR3 has weight change, depending on what part you install. I think GT4 should implement that into it's tuning, I like it and think it would be fun choosing and compromising looks for speed, power for sound, so forth. Again, sorry for the digression. :indiff: It just popped in my head. 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 💡
 
You are right. I don't think there should be much effect besides the obvious going faster.

I would like to be able to tune the nos and turbo timing like you can change gear ratios. You could smooth out the power curve in turbos or give a N/A some more power in the mid-high range rather than just the strait line, 'push button for blast off' usage.

Yeah, I agree completely. Then you could truly fine tune the car to your own needs. It would be about catering the tuning to your own needs. The best tuning would be different for everyone.
 
yup, i've been aching to see a real screenshot showing some backfire since forever... well.. since i saw it in Best motoring, and before that during WRC.
 
I'm not new, I've just been away for a while, so don't welcome me or anything. Umm, all this talk about nitrous oxide makes me curious. Are there any pics or small videos of nitrous being used or shown off?

with regards to all this "call it NOS" call it Nitrous oxide systems , I'm just gonna call it dinitrogen monoxide

:lol:
I have no problem with the term NOS, at least I know what people are talking about. Its the same as using "Kleenex, Sellotape or Hoover" as someone mentioned above.
Its when they change NOS into NO2...that is just plain wrong, and still quite common looking at the posts here. It is a completely different gas and will not improve performance :) If you smell it, you will not laugh, but instead, you will be seeking a doctor.

I'm keeping it simple and will refer to it as the "Oxidised state of a pair of Covalently bonded Nitrogen molecules" :)

(cue the indigo bio-chemist to tell me that is not correct ;) )
 
Why won't you people just call it nitrous? 💡 That way, morons won't get confused.

I don't care either way if there is nitrous in the game. Same with online play. I wouldn't use nitrous and I dont have a network adapter. It's just something extra in the game that I won't use/do, like the rally races in GT3.
