probly not a good way to start but hey......

if any one can give the gear eratios for the Supra RZ with over 1000 HP it would be great.I tried almost every thing and got ticked off so.ask if you need more info on the car(upgrades,color,etc)
 
Do you mean racing gear ratios or stock ones?

The Supra RZ is a bastard to controll, especially with 1000bhp unless you're going in a straight line.

www.gtvault.com is a good place for settings and such like.
My supra has about 400 something hp and it is still oversteer happy, so if you are using it for anything apart from the test course I advise you drop the power somewhat.

Oh Welcome to GTP. :D

It really depends on the track, but in general if you hit the rev limiter in 6th then make the gears wider, and if you never get to 6th or don't really use it to it's full potential make the gears closer together it’s as simple as that.

Just use the auto settings at the bottom; you don't really have to set each gear up individually.
 
Welcome to GTPlanet Self High 5.

Enjoy your stay here.

Try this for gears on any car.

1. Move the "final drive" gear all the way to it's highest point. Usually 5.499 or something.

2. Then take the "Auto" gear all the way to the lowest setting. Usually 18 or close to that.

3. Go back to your "final drive" gear and move it down until you get to a point that will give you a decent top end.

Don't readjust the "auto gear" as this will ruin your work.
What you have done is set up a very tight gear box.
You can use this technique on just about any car.

And for future reference, there is a forum for settings, take a look around there, you will find a lot of information. :)

What's the difference between what you said and just upping the auto setting a few notches?
 
The individual gears are tighter toghether than just using the "Auto Setting." Since the only thing that your really adjusting is the "final drive gear."

Most of the truly fast people in GT3 racing seem to use this trick. I almost have to put this in the class of "game exploitation" because it seems to benefit all cars when IRL it would not help on many of them.

A high-revving, peaky engine like the S2000 or RX-8 really does benefit from this, and would in real life. As Professor Boom mentioned, the gear ratios are very tightly spaced when set up this way, so shifts don't drop you out of the power band as badly (the stock RX-8 transmission is just horrible that way). But in a car with lots of torque and a long long power curve, like a Viper, adding extra shifts would really slow it down in real life.

Well sounds cool, I still don't really get why it makes a difference then just tightening up the auto setting, but I guess it does since a lot of people seem to do it. I'll try it myself and see what happens.

Changing the AUTO setting changes the numerical spacing between the gears. The farther to the right on the AUTO setting, the wider the ratios between gears. On a peaky engine, the motor RPM's will fall below the powerband and speed will suffer.

Using the AUTO adjust alone (no rear end changes) doesn't work because the program adjusts the gear ratios depending on the ratio of the rear end. :banghead: This makes it easy to prevent a n00b from screwing up their gear ratios, but makes it a pain to adjust once you understand the system.

If you put the AUTO setting all the way to the left, the ratios are close together. By setting the rear end ratio first, it creates a very tight pattern. Then after you set the AUTO, you change the rear end ratio to allow 6th gear redline on the longest straight on the track.

This also helps somewhat with powerful engines because first gear becomes numerically lower than just using AUTO. You have less tendancy for wheelspin in 1st gear.

IMO, the best way to understand this principle is to try different settings on an underpowered car. A good example of the need to stay in the powerband are after the hairpin turn at Midfield I. The last 2 turns before the front straight are uphill, and an underpowered car will really dog if your gears are too wide.

Hope this helps ...

The reason it's different is that the Auto Setting seems to base its gear selections on the final drive you have set. By setting the final drive as short as possible (highest number), it probably forces the Auto Set to pick taller gears from its range of individual gears. Even so, I'm sure it has limits to its range of choices, and nothing but a dump truck would ever run a final drive as short as 5.499. So you have to go back and lower the FD to something reasonable.

If you adjust the AS after that, then the AS rethinks its gear selections completely, based on the new, taller FD... which screws up the audjustment you were just trying to make.
 
Useful to note for hybrids... the Integra Type-R 'box has the highest Final Gear ratio possible in the game 5.999.

Of course if you're going hybriding properly, it doesn't matter so much... :D
 
Welcome to GTP, and I'd suggest that you should never floor it when accelerating out of a corner, because that will induce wheelspin on the 1000bhp car...
