should there be NOS on GT4

[Omnis]

but a nitrous oxide system is a universal term. so it really isnt a brand name. holley is the brand. NOS by Holley is a brand name though. it's complicated.

Yeah, I see what you're saying, it's complicated. Holley should of named it something else.

NOS is the same thing as Venom and Nitrous Express.

A Maker of nitrous oxide.

I think nitrous oxide should be in GT4. Not only is it a power booster, but it can also make up for turbo lag with Nitrous Oxide Systems (The Holley brand of nitrous systems) new device to cut the NO2 off at a certian PSI. It can also be used in non-turbo, road racing cars and has been used before. With Wide Open Throttle kits by many nitrous kit manufactures, it can be used as a boost just like a turbo or a supercharger can. It's just as much of a power booster as any kit is.

There is also an added bonus that NO2 has that a turbo or supercharger can't do, cool the air without a weighty Air-to-air, or even heavier Air-to-water intercoolers. However, along with that bonus, there is a disadvantage to remember when dealing with NO2, it causes a severe lean condition (more O2 than fuel). That's usually combated by adding more fuel, but with that it will increase fuel consumption. If you say that NO2 can't be in, then you should also say that Turbos and Superchargers shouldn't be in either.

The thing is as well, N20 has its downsides, and can only be run for a limited period.

I autocross, and I've seen people running the system on the track, and it has merits, and down sides. I am not a ricer, Fast and Furious... can die for destroying the image of import racing.

Nos is a very realistic tuning option, and for people that don't want to have a full time turbo, its a nice thing.

That would be VERY helpful if they put it in, the Big turbo cars could run like WRC cars if NOS was used to make up for lag.

But I wouldn't put it on my Levin. Big **WHAM** of power and wheelspin for drifting, I need it.

 

[Lethalchem]

See how stupid it sounds, if it were written N20, or Nitrous, I wouldn't have a problem.

I think this concept:

If you can really race, you dont need NOS.

...Sounds much more stupid than the use of the term NOS itself.

 

[GT fan]

NO!!!

 

[GT fan]

I agree that if your a real racer you dont need a dumb thing like NOS

I'd prefer an anti-lag system over a nitrous oxide system anyday, although, hmmm, actually, now that i think about it, that could cause problems, though i doubt anyone knows about an anti-lag system like they do nitrous.

Gran Turismo is not about street racing, but moreover professional championship racing. If GT was about riced out pieces of crap with neon lights, then sure, NOS would be acceptable but it isn't, so it's not.

So your telling me every car that uses a nitrous system are riced out pieces of crap with neon lights. And I thought it was just a fairly cheap way to help boost power when your running the quater mile, but you're obviously correct.

 

[NOS supra]

no god no please no

 

[Gordonfan24]

no god no please no

Your name is "NOS supra", I would've guessed you were for it?

 

[Heep]

Sure. Why not. As the Gran Turismo team are already dedicated to making the games as realistic as possible, I'm sure they would very accurately re-create its effects (unlike arcade games such as NFS Underground, where it seemingly gives you light-speed and makes the world go blurry). And, since nitrous oxide systems are, like it or not, a very realistic tuning possibility in the real world, having an accurately re-created system in GT4 would make the series even more true to life.

If it were to be put in, it would need to be a very complex vehicle modification, requiring you to have real knowledge of how to correctly tune such a system in order to gain any benefit from it. Like the Professional suspension system - it does you practically no good unless you know how to properly tune it. If they made it a simple "bolt-on-and-automatically-get-100-extra-horsepower," then it would suck.

Nitrous oxide has very real benefits in the world of racing, especially drag racing. From the screenshots I've seen of GT4, it looks like drag racing has been incorporated. If this is the case, a properly tunable nitrous injection system would be a welcome addition.

Also, it would be excellent if they could incorporate the option of nitrous lag reduction systems into the game. Simply using small amounts of nitrous near the bottom end of the rev range to counter turbo lag - again another very realistic scenario. While racing around a track at high revs, it would be virtually not used at all, but would give the car a little extra help when lugging out of that tight 120 degree 2-gear turn...

So I give a PROPER Nitrous Oxide system the thumbs up for the GT series, and give "press-a-button-for-a-berzerk-mega-speed-shot-to-steal-the-race" nitrous systems the thumbs down for the GT series.

BTW, "real" racers often do use nitrous...it's no more of a "cheat" than a turbo, or even disc brakes. The reason many racing series don't use it is because of heavy regulations used to keep all team's engines running at about the same level. The comment that "real racers" don't need it is as ludicrous as saying they don't need disc brakes...

 

[allsops]

I say bring on NOS! The more different options GT4 has the better.

 

[B.I.R.M._USA]

Also, in the drag race case of IHRA (International Hot Rod Assocation), there is a class called Pro-Modified, ProMod for short. Bascially take the engine from an Top-Alcohol funny car, stuff it into a car just longer than a Pro-Stock and run it. But here is the catch, you can run either a Supercharger or NO2, but not both at the same time. And not one car is much more dominate than the other. NO2 isn't a cheater device, either, in many of the NHRA Sportsman classes, people use it. It's sad to see it used in the way games like Need for Speed and movies like the Fast and the Furious have. It's given NO2 a very bad name that it doesn't deserve.

When Nitrous option were brought in the GT4, Japanese media referred to it as "N2O", or "Nitro". Last one there, we pronounce it Nitolo. A popular nickname for it in Japan.

I didn't hear "NOS" term being used until coming in here, but it probably is a copyrighted name by a company

 

[lancer10]

well it is in, take a look

 

[PnoY_Drifter112]

here

Look at Automobiles

 

[Gabkicks]

i dunno why u guys care so much. its probably only gonna be available in Drag racing, and it wont be Like Fast N Furious, it will be realisitc. U guys are always looking for something to complain and hate. out of what.. fear? hate? Sure it might draw in a few ricers, but after playing GT4 they will change over to actual car enthusiasts and not Bandwagon Ricerwhores.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

(This isn't directed at anyone in particular)

If you want NOS in your car, get a game that involves racing with NOS, like NFSU/2. GT4 shouldn't have NOS because it's not a Fast and the Furious-type racer.

IF PD has to include it, NOS should only be available in Drag Racing.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

The game will have engine and component failures. So Nitrous will not be some way of superpowering the car. It's available in real life, so it should be an option in the game.

Additionally, if they want to accurately portray Drifting, they need NOS. Several of the top cars in D1GP run NOS.

 

[Car_Guy]

i think that nitros is a perect fit tin the game, just because you don't like soemthign is no reason that it should not be put in the game, if i was trying to race on a coarse with llng straights cheaply in real life, and could use a nitros system, i probably would, so why not have it in the game, especially for some of the early starter cars int he game (well and the Model T, why not lol)

Also that picture with the NOS on it was translated, so it will probably not read NOS when we get our version.

I look forward to anything that can reall be done to cars, Heck i even want body kits, (especially when online reacing comes around) somebody wants to waste their vitrual credits to slow there car down, be my guest, i'll be happy using my power and handlign mods to blow you by)

 

[Izanagi]

I am totally against N2O...atleast in street settings....but it would be nice in GT4....as long as its limited to drag racing....GT is a tribute to cars and racing so N2O should be in. I wish that those who think the "Mist" is cool and the most important thing to add to their piece of garbage rice-mobile would be re-educated about it tho....hehehe...Gotta have my NAWS!!!

 

[Blackbird.]

NO

Simply because it belongs in NFSU games and such.

 

[Minnesota01R6]

The game will have engine and component failures.

hmmm I didn't see this anywhere - is this true? do I get to see a piston fly through the hood of a civic when someone puts a 150 shot on a stock engine cuz that would be cool.

If they just keep it out of the series races that would not allow Nitrous in real life then I could live with it. If I can hook my F1 car up with nitrous and cruise arnound monaco I will personally kill everyone at PD.

it has its benifits, it has its stereotypes, it has its downfalls, and it is very seldom used for racing on road courses.

 

[Azuremen]

I've seen guys running it on VWs in autocross, so it does happen for that kinda stuff as well.

Its a real racing system, and it should in a game that reflects REAL racing.. just not in the NFSU style BS stuff...

 

[a6m5]

well it is in, take a look

There it is. Can't dispute that. Thanks!

 

[a6m5]

"Ricewhores" & "piece of garbage rice-mobile ". Rice this n' rice that? What's up with the haters here. Most of my friends are into imports, not one owns NOS. If you don't like "rice" cars, how did you even become fans of Gran Turismo series?
