I absolutely love the GT-R Concept Tokyo Motorshow version and think it's by far one of the best non-racing cars in the game. Better acceleration than most racecars too... 8 seconds quatermile. I was actually at that motorshow btw...

However, the GT-R Concept Racecar is completely different.

A lower maximum speed and 10.2 seconds on the quatermile unless you really screw around with the settings. I got it down to 9.2 but it's just... strange.

It stalls in first gear... skips 2nd gear... then stalls a bit in third and it's all out of whack.

I tried lengthening the shift times and now it does it a bit less... but still stalls near the end of the first few gears... I think driving manual trans would help a bit... but I would have to learn it. I don't really think it's a traction problem.

Whatever it takes to get this car to where it's faster than the Tokyo Motorshow like it should be... I'll do it.

Any suggestions? Have any of you figured out anything already?
 
to fix the problem with your GTR concept!

Set your gears how you wish and then up the TCS to about 7-8 that should solve you problem.

Just asking if anyone has some suggestions for the GTR Concept Racecar.

I did mess with the gearing and it helped, but the problem exists with default settings... the only modification being Turbo 4.

I believe I've tried the_end's suggestion and it helped a little bit but didn't completely fix the problem... for me anyways.

I tried moving the gears almost all the way out... and using 4 gears(3 vestigial) total rather than 7 and it helped even more.

It gets 9.5 or 6 on 1/4 mile without nitro... just awful for a car like this.

The motorshow version kills it which doesn't really make a lot of sense.
 
Ever heard of Manufactors "lieing a little" ? They do it all the time , just want to sell thier car!


And plus, this is a game 👍
 
Do you mean manufacturer?


I don't know what you're talking about. Nissan is plenty capable of making great cars and why would they lie, telling Polyphony that their GTR Concept Racecar can't accelerate for crap?

...and either way, that doesn't really help.
 
The problem sounds like it comes from having the stage 4 turbo. With the 7 speed trans., the final gear is set pretty low I would imagine. Try putting the final at 4.300, then set your autoset where you want it (it will need to be at least 'reset' for the new final ratio)
