I just purchased the Nissan GTR12 4WD, and have tuned it with fully customizable suspension. I can't seem to find out how to apply "downforce" to the front and rear, nor a place to purchase it.

Can anyone give some idea on what I might be doing wrong?
 
You will only get adjustable rear down force on most road cars by adding a custom wing, the front aero does seem to add a little down force but its non-adjustable 👍

Unfortunately there are only a few road cars that have fully adjustable front and rear aero, these are usually racing homologation models such as the NSX-R LM Road Car

Thanks, I don't think after looking at the aero packages I might not be able to add this to my Nissan GTR12. I'm trying to correct for its squirrely slipping and sliding all over the place. I've noticed it seems that this is not uncommon with cars in GT6, or maybe its just my driving. I've got soft sports tires on it, but that does not help either.

Have you done anything to the suspension or added a load of power? The GTR is usually quite tame

Yes, lots of power and full suspension. The only thing I've done with suspension is to lower the RH so far. Its got plenty of power, almost seems like too much. I've been racing it on the Tuned Car Race.

Fast 4wd's don't really get better with more power unfortunately, what you gain in straight line performance you ultimately lose in the corners. More power isn't always a good thing if you can't control it properly

Basic tips are to remove any camber, don't lower the ride height too far, if you've lowered the cars weight then you might need to reduce the spring rates a bit as well to stop the car skating. There are guides in the tuning section that will help you with setting your car up and plenty of existing tunes in the library if you can't get it how you want it 👍

Ah, thanks, great tips, I'll give them a try as well as check out the guides in the tuning section.
Thanks very much for your help.
