I have a yellow R33 nismo 400r and its all done up, but i dont get why it doesnt blow past 200 mph....Iv done everything with the tranny, i put the 6 gear ratio all the way back but it doesnt want to go. I have the first to weight reduction upgrades but i dont want to totally gut the car. Theres other cars that i have and they have alittle bit under 500hp and there hitting 200.One the event i was do is the track meet at one of the tracks that has the long straight way at the world circuit tracks....You could compete with cars that have the same(more or less) horse power then you and you just hit top speed. But when i run my 400R i just stays around 193mph

I just want to know if anyone has the same problem that i have this skyline.All my other cars act fine but this one is funny....

I think you've just asked more or less the right person... Being a Skyline lover and a 300mph+ driver I might be able to help you out! It'd be a great help if you posted up every setting you've changed, and if you could tell me how far the revs are from the redline in top gear it'd be useful.

Let me know and I'll see what I can do for ya

EDIT - My 400Rs black... better in championship blue though!

Ehh... As far as I know you can only get it in yellow, red, black and silver. Tell me if I missed something.

No you didn't miss anything in the game. You can't get the Championship Blue 400R in GT4, but in real life NisMo made one in that color. It's still around somewhere... And it looks like this:


See what I mean? sweet... Wish PD had put it in the game.

Nice one with the settings Rac3r, I'll try them out in the near future

What is the glitch a car wash does? I only know the oil change one.

That's kind of off-topic... I'm not entirely sure, I didn't think there was one. What exactly do you call the oil change glitch?

Is he talking about the extra hp from the oil change? That's not a glitch.

And the car wash thing isn't a glitch either. A dirty car loses a few mph off the top speed (at least, that happened in GT3... since I don't tune for top speed in GT4, I don't know if this still happens)... when you wash your car, it becomes a little more slippery, and you gain some top end speed.

No I know the extra power is what would happen.. Also I know that losing speed from dirt would happen, because it creates drag but I didn't know the game was as realistic as to take it into account all my 300mph cars need washing right now

Driftking, the car wants to be as low as possible, with the springs as soft as they'll go, and try to get the gears so that she's in top just about to hit the limiter at the end of the straight. Let me know

if your car has 650 to 750 miles on her, get a New one as HP loss kicks in arround there.

Get a Oil Change and Car wash

AND the Settings I already posted make her go 200mph No/NoS & 215mph With Nos

Auto & manual Trasmissions both get the same results

This may be slightly irrelevant to the topic, but doesn't the car have a weird power band?

In stock form, (not sure on tuned, as i hadn't tried it), i had to change the gear at WAY before the rev limitor, almost like 2,500 to 3,000 revs before the limitor! (limitor being the light that comes on).

That i found helped to get the best performance out of the car.

If that is the case, then you may have to really look into the powerband and gear the car right for it to hit 200 + mph.

(Got mine in Yellow....)

absolutely right submerged. You have to study the torque/power curves and see how it drops off at higher revs, then account for this in your tune up and driving style.

They are trying to simulate the 400R's increased capacity (bored out to 2.8 IIRC) that leads to more torque low down but less tendancy to want to rev.

As far as I know it was never actually available in championship blue. Great car although the R33's suffer in this game

I thought so too, untill I got me a White low milleage '97 R33 N1. And DAME the Skyling Ive loved for so long is Back!

THe R32's are better in this game then they have ever been.

And the Settings Posted do what they say 200mph without any Nitrous, and 215mph with the bottle.

UK plates, so it must of been imported.

The 400R is trash in GT4, weird powerband, 5 gears, barely any power for what it is. Your best off with a normal R33 for racing, and keep a 400R for looking at.

I have every colour 400R, so ner
