Who else wishes GT5 had NOS?

AOS-
Gee! I wished GT5 had neon underglows, ridiculous looking spoilers and a whole selection of funky looking stickers to tack onto my car, boy how great GT5 wuld be if it had nitrous.......:grumpy:

Game already has 'ridiculous looking spoilers', and 'funky looking stickers'(see RM mod).

Anyway why are people so negative about adding a feature to the game? Everyone seems to be OK with turbo, and superchargers, and all the other performance upgrades WTF???

Stuff the ricer trash talk somewhere, GT4 had it. It wasn't all rice, it was cool. Why its not here now is probably due to the game not yet being finished like the Transmission tuning.

i think it's not there because the only place to legally run it is on drag strips which we don't have.

i wouldn't mind nitrous oxide but i reckon a kinetic energy recovery system for extra boost would be pretty cool. That way you could get boost in a not so vulgar way as nos. Plus it's quite a strategic tool as well. I wouldn't mind it included.

I tried it once before and endurance race. I still got tired.

complete waste of time to put nos in GT5. NOS is for tuner punks not racing cars. In what race series do you see race cars using nos. Besides draging. NOS is dead
 
I don't think the game needs it. Outside of drag racing and tuned street cars nos is not used, its far too dangerous and damaging to a car to really be used. a KERS type system is more practical.. but in the game it is basicly the same thing.

With the already much too powerful effects of drafting in the game, the last thing it needs is a push to pass ability.
 
I don't know, I liked it in GT4 (or was it GT3?) but I think the game is better off without it. But, that's just me... I would prefer having a lot more rims to choose from than nos.

Do you want that GT5 become NFS??? I think not, so its great how it is now, no NOS in GT

As has been said, it was in GT4.

no way please. If you cant corner fast enough you need to improve your skill not power the car with stupid NOS.

What? The OP said he liked to use it on small, gutless cars to corner faster, no amount of skill will change the fact that a 50bhp Daihatsu Midget will lose in a race against a 300bhp Mitsubishi Evo, but if you could add 100bhp temporarily then it would at least be a closer race.

I only ever really used nitrous in my fully upgraded Evo VI RS TME and VIII GSR MR for Tsukuba time attacks. I shortened the ratios so that they'd top out at around 120mph, upped the AYC a fair bit, put racing softs on and turned the nitrous all the way up, so essentially they had 600bhp for approximately half a lap. Seriously, you had to be very, very quick to react when driving them and you were changing gear pretty much all the time, they were so much fun, but in GT5 you can't replicate that. I think I had them in the mid-high 40's for a lap back in 2007, maybe I'm remembering that wrongly. I honestly seem to remember a high 46 second lap in the VIII MR, with nitrous.

In summary: Don't be so uptight, nitrous oxide isn't exclusively limited to ricers and can offer massive performance gains, why would you actually want fewer options in GT5? If you don't want to use it, you don't have to, but I don't see why snobbery should dictate that it stays out of the game.

Fair point, but retrofitting KERS would be much more difficult than adding nitrous, so in terms of realism (as far as feasibility goes), nitrous would make more sense. I think if there was the option to disable it online (like the aids) then it would be fine; GT5 has basically no restrictions in the A-Spec races anyway so I can't see it making any difference there; entering an 870bhp GT-R in the Turbo Challenge is already pretty unbalanced!

Nitrous would be good in GT5, but only if it was limited to road cars. Having it on race cars seems a bit silly

You and a couple others "got" the intention of my OP...my apologies to everyone else who didn't understand because i wasn't clear enough :guilty:


I used NOS in GT4 on road cars which i loved to pit against the LM racers. I used NOS on race cars ONLY for the test track, NEVER for ingame racing with the higher spec cars, which is something i don't endorse-nor am i calling for, i found on race cars that it was not practical and so never used it to gain an advantage over other cars like taking an LM or race car and putting it in the Sunday cup....that is just wrong even if the game allows it.

I see a nitrous system more like a 'poor mans turbo'. Most modern systems, when activated inject more and more nitrous when RPM's build up. The effect is similar as with a turbo or supercharger (you effectively add more oxigen to the fuel mixture in the cilinder, when N breaks off of the O₂ due to heat) and the build up is allso the same on a good system. So, in a sence, adding a turbo to your car in GT5 gives you more or less the same result.
 
I don't want Johnny Tran and his gang to run up on me with guns and shoot my whole ride up. I'm anti-NOS Nitrous.

Sorry didnt want to sound snobbish. Just from my point of view, nitro does not belong to racing.
I might be biased because of ****** hollywood movies etc. but after all i stick to "get more ccm instead of spoilers" (in ger. its cooler, "Hubraum statt Heckspoiler".
Also a 50bhp Daihatsu Midget against a 300bhp Mitsubishi Evo is a farce not a race :)
Afterall you can use the xxxx boost for such occurences where driving skill varies alot between drivers.

Still no from me :)
Best regards

ye, logitech would have to make some kind of fan (for the g27) i can put my leg against to activate it. nice :)

You're thinking of the F-Duct that reduces drag ^^, KERS is a battery that charges when you brake, using the energy to provide power to the wheels.
 
HMMMM...... not too botherd about nos, I can see it being a nightmare with noobs online
