What tune did I post? I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm not a sharing kind of guy.

You're right, I was mistaken.

In that case, there's a nice example of how someone had to stiffen the rear of an NSX to tame the over-steer up on that page.

[esoxhntr]

Which page? Which NSX?

The NSX (and most MRs, ie. Elise, MR2), have a higher percentage of weight in the rear and would have a stiffer SR in the rear than front stock. Not vicey versa.

i feel like im the only person here having an issue. it wont open with any of the choices it gives me. help?

EDIT: nvm

[paulamag]

anybody have the tune ups for the nascar race cars as need to reset again and frgot what settings were at !!!

Is there an tuning app for Android? This would help a bunch!

Yes, there is...
Search on Google Play for 'GT5 Tuner'.

Works like a charm, to keep the details of your tunes, and it also have the function to create 'QuickTunes' based on Opposites work (published in another thread).

Does this still apply to gt5? The suspension part.
EDIT: I'm trying to understand what to do with suspension when there are lots of bumps. To keep the wheels on the ground do I need lower or higher rates. Dampers?

Hi. I´m new here in this forum. Also I would like to thank you for this guide I´ll check it ASAP. see you

Thanks for both tuning guides, Scaff. It has enabled me to keep up with human opponents and better understand how cars work in general.

I might be wrong here, but i think the LSD acc section is backwards, says that a higher value will reduce wheel spin when I'm sure that it increases it? Cars set for drift are given a high acc setting which promotes wheel spin and reduces grip whereas reducing the setting makes it easier to get out of a corner without losing traction.
Great guides none the less, taught me all the basics of tuning and helped me no end

Does the clutch and flywheel upgrades do anything?

These guides are for GT4. Some things apply, some don't. It was initially added when the game came out as guidelines, since we had no GT5 specific guides. Now that we do, I'm not entirely sure why this remains stickied, but if the information helps people, right or wrong, sobeit.

Don't you read the item description that comes up when you click on the little shopping cart picture for those items?

Better clutch helps the gears to shift more smoothly and with less performance loss at each shift.

Better flywheel helps the engine gain power more quickly.

Those are simplistic descriptions but they are included in the tuning sheet for a reason. You may not see any PP or HP change using them but they do affect the car on the track.

NOTHING is offered in the tuning shop for no reason.

Have you noticed anything quantifiable? Tyres can make a few seconds difference in lap times with each upgrade, how much can you reduce lap times with better clutch, flywheel and prop shaft?

Should make a comparison myself but have always taken the in-game description on faith.

It's kinda off-topic but I never turn down a good challenge.

Using the Mazda Autozam '92 on the Speed Test track - all stock, automatic transmission (to take my manual shifting out of the equation), and keeping the gas depressed from the countdown to the end:

[Fastest time in bold.]

Quarter Mile
Stock 20.497s, Twin-Plate Clutch 20.247s, Semi-Racing Flywheel 20.313s, Both 20.394

Mile
Stock 52.157s, Twin-Plate Clutch 51.703s, Semi-Racing Flywheel 51.760s, Both 51.663s

0-60 MPH
Stock 15.209s, Twin-Plate Clutch 14.746s, Semi-Racing Flywheel 14.805s, Both 14.712s

I'm sure the differences will be much smaller with a faster and more powerful car. I intentionally picked a slow car to make the time differences more clear. A half second gain over a mile and for 0-60 MPH seems small on the test track but it makes a huge difference over a long lap on a proper racetrack.

Sometimes you need to increase the rebound on the dampers to get the tyre to press back down onto the road after a bump. If the car is bouncing up over a bump then the 'bump' setting on the car maybe too stiff, however, if the car is not bouncing up over the FIRST bump then the bump setting maybe too soft and might need stiffening a bit.
A good place to test this out is circuit de la sarthe. With very fast cars as you go along the straight you can see how this all works. Stiffer settings there should yield good results, but you will be able to see what happens when you try soft dampers and then harder dampers.
Once you've got the hang of that you can test things out on nurburgring

Wow thanks for these guides, man.

You seriously helped me out I've always wanted to learn how to tune!
