They just don't interest me. As you can tell by my avatar, American cars are my thing. :P

*Blows dust out of the Japanese section of my garage*

Wow, I still have my 1990 Miata! Unfortunately, it's not fast enough.

To the Honda/Acura/Nissan dealer! I'll pick up an NSX tomorrow, or maybe a Skyline.
 
First go with Skyline R33...N1 in stock form was 2nd, 15 secs behind the NSX-R. Second run was easy win at 515pp and a quick, tail happy tune, even with some sideways off-road action.
 
Well that's that. Praiano's NSX (500pp) handles like a dream and goes round in 57 seconds! Nuff said. :)
 
If you tune a car up to 540pp? Too easy.
Took me a Mazda éfini RX-7 Type RS (FD) '96
When i saw the rabbits, i think, okay, this is a race i'm going to enjoy......:confused:
Enjoyed it a bit, but the mazda at 540pp was too fast for the rabbits.

Looking forward to using some of what @Ridox2JZGTE has.

Good luck mate, my cars are not exactly easy to race :) with their nature of replicating real life setup and specs. I may suggest the NSX Type R '92 500PP , it will be challenging 👍

Notes :
I made this special tune to commemorate Ayrton Senna :)
This time, the car is Honda NSX Type R '92, the 1st generation of Type R Honda at 500PP :)

The car setup is not your typical GT6 tune, I used real world setup alignment, similar to some of my older replica like ADVOX Supra :)

Suspension has been changed with BC Racing Coilover, 10/8 springs and a well tuned damper for road and track complement the springs. The ARB, Toe and Camber are all based on real life setup of a stock Honda NSX Type R.

Most people do not know that later generation NSX has lower spring rate at the rear to give more grip and less oversteer. Most coilover kits uses the same arrangement, while KW V3 uses same spring rate. Obviously the real world spring rate works great in GT6.

Real life specs : front camber range 0.3+-0.5, rear camber range 1.5+-0.5; and front toe out 3.5mm+-1mm, rear toe in 6mm+-1mm.

The LSD has been updated using real world setup, Honda Torque Control Differential has high preload.

The weight distribution on the NSX is wrong in GT6, real life NSX has 42/58, so to achieve that, I used some ballast and weight reduction.

Gearing has also been updated for better performance on the track, adapting 6 speed COMPTECH Close Ratio Gear Set based on NSX-R 6 speed, I used only the 5 gears, and NSX-R 4.235 Final also implemented for better acceleration. OS Giken Final 4.44 and COMPTECH 4.550 Final are optional, use them when more acceleration is needed or use US spec NSX 4.062 Final for more top speed.

To drive the NSX, you will need some real world driving approach, steer like you would in a real car, brake and gas like you would in your own car on the road :p

I tuned and tested the car at Ascari, Bathurst, Spa and Tsukuba. The car is capable of sub 2:30s at Spa.

The car is a joy to drive, feels like what a real stock NSX would drive :) It made GT6 Honda NSX more sim like, well almost like on PC :lol:


ENJOY :cheers:

Use the OS Giken or Comptech Final drive for better acceleration at Tsukuba.

Does SRF mandatory on this event ?
 
Got it with an R32 I just bought. Stage 3 weight reduction, carbon hood and windows reduced, ecu, intake tuning, catalytic converter, and sports exhaust. 514pp, 408 horsepower, 1,230 kilograms.

Passed the rabbit on lap 4, ran times in the 1:02 range on clean ones, 1:04 when I under steered into the dirt.

Nossir.

Well, 1.01.389 ain't bad for a best lap!
I changed the Final to 4.8 to better suite the track and put on the Triple Plate clutch. Also used 5/4 BB with all Aids Off...ABS 0. Love the Diff. Had 2 full flying laps.

For comps sake I also ran Praiano's tune, same car. Only managed 1.01.619. This one calls for the TP Clutch (the reason I used it on yours). Also optimized the gears. I only got 1 flying lap, so there is time to be gained, but I only did the race once with each. Same settings...ABS 0. Both are ABS 0 friendly.

Won this one rather easily using the Skylike GT-R V Spec R33 '97!

0.57 laps? How? Best I could do is 1.01 with the same car. No Aids, of course.
 
Easy win in 1990 RX-7 GT-X, running in the 1:01s in my first try.

Great handling car with front aero and flat floor. Engine and weight stage 3, sports comp, sports exhaust, iso manifold, cat converter, and intake tuning bringing it to 518pp. Combined with Praiano's suspension settings from 85 rx7 GT limited found here.

Probably a bit to quick for this race but sweet fun.
 
Ran 98 Rx7. Won rather easily but was only running 1.02 laps. I kinda wish they would not reuse the same tracks over and over
 
Decided to attempt this chronologically. Won with the '91 GT-R stock with SH (452PP). Best effort prior to the win was with a '90 NSX stock with CS (439PP).
 
The Nissan R390 is an automatic winner with no tuning if your looking for a quick paint chip and credit gain.
 
Okay....

Entry requirements say SH or less tires. When I click "sign-up" with SH tires equipped on my car I get this message:

My car is the Mazda RX-7 GT-X (FC) '90 tuned to 460PP.

:odd:
 
Did it with a 91 S13
 
:cheers: Good show old chap, just done it with 475pp Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Version V '98, everything stock except racing brakes, FC Trannie, Sports Comp and Racing Exhaust.

If your car isn't already equipped with SH tires, the game defaults to the next hardest tire. But you probably know this, right?
