Idk if its been posted but i couldnt find it. Whats the weight limit for tonight?
 
No weight limit. Unless otherwise specified, this is always the case.
 
just 450pp... whatever it takes.

and sports soft tires.
 
Sport soft? Lol...I have been practicing with comfort soft!
 
Errrr, what the hell happened? I got stuck on a black screen... ARGH
 
that 24hr version sometimes messes things up i noticed. maybe i'll switch it back to regular nurb.
 
Good racing with everyone. Still a little rusty. Not quite up to speed with non computer opponents (not sure if the pun was intended lol). the less predictable movements and crashes of others got me good today

I think you all are acting like kids personally, I could be a lot nicer about this, but I'm going to choose too be blunt.

Let's not play "race" cards here, (Not sure how this works, since Italy isn't a race.) If you all have an argument, you have two choices.
1. Sit here on GTP and bicker like little girls.
2. Race. (Do I expect this too be squeaky clean and follow "ORL" rules? No. Let's be honest.)

Just like Diabolic said, I have people who I race with in this group who I can NOT stand. Names I will not say, as I don't want to get in a giant argument.

Like I said earlier, I'm not getting in the Delorean debate, because I will get so angry I could break this phone in half. Booch.... DROP IT.

For the record, Osprey, AOK, Booch, I like you all. I would even call you my friends not just people I met on a video game. Bit chill out. Enough said.

Now, I've got 400 miles too truck, and I've got too keep this diesel truckin', so I'm gonna put this hammer down and give it hell.

by racism i meant that all the guys should be on the same level, and sadly is not like that. i saw people that hit me on porpouse almost every night without say sorry or give back the position. but this is not my problem becouse its a game, the problem is to be described as the bad guy when its not true

Still a blast driving with you guys last night. Other than the connection problems ( i was booted out for like forever while hearing the race starting in the background and have to reconnect twice :boggled:
but hearing somebody saying "i thought i fixed this d*amn understeer" while staring at the blank screen was epic :lol:)

first 2 starts were chaotic but then everyone settled down except for Bobskeet who takes agressive driving to a whole new level. He was like a ping pong ball bouncing everywhere. Shame he has some nice looking cars! :ouch:

welcome to the room. you did ok and will get better. you picked one of the more difficult nights/courses to join. i'm not sure if chuyler sets his room to grip: real but, I do on nurb which makes off-track excursions that much more of an adventure.
 
Last night I had to remove a few friends from my list to make room for my lemons series drivers. Its hard to keep track of the periodic attendees so if I deleted you and you still want to join in, no hard feelings, just send me another friend request. I think I may have to keep track of attendance or something since everyone on my friend list signs on regularly.

PLAYSTATION SYSTEM UPDATE
There is a new update that takes a few minutes to install. If you don't want to miss the first race, plan ahead and get it installed before 9:45.

Tonight's theme:
Same Make/Model Night -- 450pp, Nissan Silvia K's DIA Selection (S13) '90, SS Tires
Any and all performance parts allowed for tuning the car.
Tracks: Suzuka Circuit, Lobby Vote
Winner of first race picks the Make/Model and track for next week.
First race kicks off at 10:00.
 
im still having some problems tuning my Sylvia, kinda twitchy as the rear ends like to play a lot. hopefully it will be remedied prior to tonight's race.
 
Love the Silvia. Looking forward to being able to race on a night other than Nurb night.

I just used my generic RWD tune and it's worked pretty well. It even takes the uphill esses at Trial Mountain pretty well. Every other car I tune seems to just lose it instantly on the left hander approaching the tunnel. The Silvia is one of the few cars I've been able to drive there without a wing.

Don't know how well that will translate to Suzuka, but we'll see. I'm sure my tune is sacrificing some agility for more stability, so hopefully I don't get left in the dust.

I did something like:
Ride Height -5/+5
Camber 1.0/1.0
Toe -.02/+0.10
Everything else default

Only tuned it once and it felt pretty good around the ring.

PS it is a Silvia, not a Sylvia lol

EDIT.. Try -3/+3 on the ride height first.. Mine could well be that, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
 
Thanks Fatrab! ill definitely check your tune. :)

My bad about "Sylvia", probably thinking bout my Ex who loves to sway her b*tt! :cheers:
 
Automotive rumors suggested that Nissan will be reviving the Silvia nameplate. To prove it, some prototypes were seen testing in the ring, clad in the last gen camo, trying to beat the GTR lap record.









If the rumors are true, we might see some Silvia's in your garage soon enough...

Thats a lot different than mine.

Camber 2.4/2.0
Toe -.2/.15
RH -12/-10
Springs 12/10.5
Ext 7/6
Comp 6/5
Sway 4/4

Differential 10/25/14. I think.
 
My driving style is not conducive to mixed camber. The tires gain heat unevenly and have a tendency to break free when you least expect. Mind you this experience is solely from FGT testing. I tested numerous tunes when the PSN was down and only when I put the camber equal front and rear did I gain consistency.

Actually, I rarely have luck with camber above 1.0 on cars without downforce. They always feel greezy to me. I haven't even purchased the car for tonight yet. I guess I'll be doing a 15 minute quick tune. How does the car behave out of the box? oversteer? understeer?
 
To be honest I don't remember what it's like stock. It's been a while since I drove it without modification.

Last Wednesday at the Nurb I was most competitive in that car. Well, that and the RX8, but I've got a wing on that. I have the same tune (basically) on an RX7, and like you say, it's not very manageable without downforce. For whatever reason the Silvia likes it. Or at least I like it on the Silvia.

I don't remember either, but based on my tuning figures I would assume that it oversteers out of the dealership.

i drove it stock and it's an oversteer junky. i tried at least 3 tunes but i couldnt get comfortable with it. I might install a wing and see if it helps. My LSD settings is still up in the air.
 
I've been ditching the LSD lately. It always causes understeer in my cars followed by snap oversteer when the outside tire lets go. I can manage a little inside tire wheelspin and at this power level I'm not sacrificing any acceleration...I think.

I agree. I like the LSD in 4wd still though.
 
Some cars absolutely need the LSD, but at this power level it is probably not necessary. (The AC Cobra for instance, can't drive in a straight line without it. With me behind the wheel anyway.) For me, I just don't like that inside tire going up in smoke. Chuyler is probably right that you don't sacrifice much, if any, acceleration, but it's like a mental block that's always bugging me. OCD or something, I dunno.

However, It's been a godsend for the FWD cars. I've been in a couple lobbies where I've heard people wonder out loud how I have so much grip with a front driver.
 
i have had decent luck using the LSD in FWD cars (usually the default settings) but for some reason the default settings, or even lower settings on FR cars just causes outside wheelspin. I can't get it to apply equal power to both wheels while turning and I rarely have the time to mess with it.
