how to tame my NSX-R LM Race Car

[DLRgian]

this car..it has 744hp..n its very unstable..can neone help me out here with settings or advice n hints

 

[nhizzat]

post your settings first...could be any number of things you've done to unsettle your car.

k ill post it 13hrs from now cuz i got the sarthe 2 endurance goin

The NSX is one of the worst-handling of the LM "dream" cars. Getting it to handle right will be a chore.

thanks ill try it..but i need more opinions

 

[JParker]

Explain what some of your handling symptoms are that need attention. I would generally start with the following: jack the rear around 5mm, that camber is pretty extreme I'd go around 2.5/1.5, LSD I'd start by raising initial torque to 20 but LSD is tuned to your style or I can help you if you give a good explanation of problems in corner entry and exit.

 

[DLRgian]

she oversteers..like badly..i need to get the ass to stop tryina overtake the front..it oversteers as i enter the corner..n exit also on bumps she gets a lil wild

 

[nhizzat]

raise the car's ride height up a bit to stabilize it over bumps - most likely you're bottoming out on the bumps with that low a ride height

to dial out oversteer, you could:
1. increase front downforce and/or decrease rear downforce
2. decrease front stabilizer
3. increase front camber and/or decrease rear camber [take it down to 2.5/1.5 first tho]

personally i'd turn down the ASM oversteer/understeer to under 5 if not completely off...

Hrm, huh? Did somebody say "opinion"?

Possibly correct

to dial out oversteer, you could:
1. increase front downforce and/or decrease rear downforce

Incorrect If you increase front downforce, the front tires will have more traction in relation to the rear wheels than they did when you identified the condition. More traction to the steering wheels will likely INCREASE oversteer, not reduce it.

2. decrease front stabilizer

Possibly incorrect Stabilizers prevent instability, cars tend to be harder to turn as stabilizer is increased; making your car easier to turn is likely to exacerbate an oversteer issue.

3. increase front camber and/or decrease rear camber [take it down to 2.5/1.5 first tho]

Probably incorrect Camber has a sweet spot, too much or too little just slides. However, within that sweet spot there is variation. Steeper (less) camber provides turnability as in steering response, flatter (more) camber prevents a car from sliding out of a turn.

personally i'd turn down the ASM oversteer/understeer to under 5 if not completely off...

I don't use asm either, but turning asm oversteer off will increase oversteer.

nhizzat please check your sources. I consider disinformation especially loathsome.

DLRgian, I recommend you drop your camber, my starting camber for RWD cars is 2.8/1.7. I usually use springs to control steering bias and dampers to fine tune. For springrates, I am summing front and rear values, dividing by 2 and applying that to both sets, then adjusting for steering bias from there. I set ride height in front at default and jack rear 25mm or more. Reducing (front for you) downforce from max, will cure oversteer, but will likely increase lap times unless the problem is severe. I have an NSX-LM somewhere, perhaps I can dig it up and post its settings.

hah oops i didn't even think twice. i been reading up on getting rid of understeer on my gt-one and just started typing away sorry bout that mang. flip it around then.

on another note i just saw the ending movie...why they let you see if after beating the professional events is beyond me but oh well...it's neat.

 

[DLRgian]

did u know on my NSX-R LM race car i bought a wing n it doubled my downforce settings by 2x..i played with the downforce n of course left my front downforce at 50%..n i maxed out my rear..n then i played with the LSD's abit..n i corrected the car also i used settings from u guys n i tested..some settings proved un successful lol..sorry guys i had to fix it..but now its corrected

 

[DLRgian]

thanks for the input guys..i styll got some of ur settings on my car

 

[doormeister]

I had success with toe-ing in the rear tires - 1 or -2, I forget which.

No, I did not!

I had no idea that this poor car was the only one of the LM "dream" cars that you could take to GT Auto and buy a wing for. The DF values are increased from 25/35 to 55/65. Are there any other race cars in the game that you can do this with? I don't know of any.

The wing helps, but its still an unstable POS. At least now its worth working on. At the moment, though, it looks to me like its going to be one of those few cars in the game that has to have ASM to be usable.

And BTW, the slow-shifting transmission sure sucks. It isn't as bad as the Peugeot 905, but its close.

I am sure this rig is a "gem in the rough". Quirky things like laggy shifting are, to me, a handicap that PD adds to "equalize." Its problems are mainly in it's excessive downforce, which makes it very twitchy and I have great difficulty giving up traction, even in the name of balance. Gobbs of LSD don't prevent me from whipping it around corners. I can still polish it more, but these settings make it very raceable, give it a try:
brakes 4/2
springs 13.8/13.6
height 65/95
bound 8/7
rebound 8/7
camber 2.9/2.0
stabilizer 7/7 (maxxed!)
asm/o 0
asm/u 0
tcs 3
downforce 44/58 (NOT maxxed!)
lsd 40/30/35 (!)
enjoy

...this rig is a "gem in the rough"...

Could be. In any case, its a good challenge. I'll give your interesting-looking setup a shot. Perhaps the LSD is the key.
