Nissan BLUEBIRD Hardtop 1800SSS '79 tune for 450PP challenges

I was looking for unlikely cars to run the Midfield 450PP QM challenge with, and I just had one of these hanging about. Boy, it's fun! Powerful, and pretty grippy too.

It launches with a bit of wheelspin, I've tried to tame that as much as possible. Feel free to tweak first and second to suit you.

The car is basically softly sprung for traction in accel and braking, heavily damped to try to tame transitions, and as stiff as possible in roll to give you some lateral grip and keep the inside tyres doing some work. Its basic bias is a bit oversteery if you just mash the thorttle. You can kick the tail out on demand, but drive it smoothly with a steady throttle in bends and it will stick at competitively high speeds. I can lap it Midfield in 1m20s. With a tow, you can get it into the high teens.

Braking is very good, it will haul up stably from 140mph into the first bend, and also if you're gentle and/or early, it will take any line you want into the bottom hairpin.
