My car also don't have rear Diffuser , the option to stay with normal original body can be a good option .
Using normal brake (but very good originals brakes) is ok on Nordschleife. Just need earlier braking points , just a few in this case.
Sure the extra HP can help for top speed and retakes out corner but all in one it's almost the same perform +-.
The difference can be more expressive on Le Mans for example.
I can't test your car because i don't have it anymore after the SWAP option. I need to buy a new car.
EDIT: Ok i've bought a new car and test your setting. Using stock brakes and pads is faster on fast track only , the braking distance for grip track with no long straight is too long.
But the racing soft are too much and eat too much PP for the grip they give, I was able to be faster with Racing Hard and racing brakes and pads. The grip stay ok but the car have more HP for same 700PP as your RS tires no racing brakes.

Weekly Challenge - all @praiano63 tunes (except the Sunday cup):
European FR 550 Challenge - Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta '61 550pp
Race of Turbo Sports Cars - BMW VGT 700pp
Special Event - Porsche 911 GT3 RS (800pp tune downtuned to 700pp w/RH tires)
World Touring Car 700 - Jaguar XJ13 '66
I have to say the classic Ferrari and Jaguar were lots of fun. I especially loved throwing the Jag around Deep Forest. You all should definitely give it a whirl. It's a blast on that track

It's really bizarre.
I looked deeper, and I have two GT-R NISMO '17's in my garage. One is certainly an earlier tune of yours at 700pp - It's the same livery. On THIS car, I can (and have) set Side: Type B.
The other one, I had sitting around stock from somewhere and I upgraded it for your new 800pp SWAP tune. On this car, when I go to GT Auto, there is no "Type B" option in Custom Parts for "Side". I'm wondering if you have to set that BEFORE you do the engine swap, and after thati it's not there anymore. No idea, just imagining things at this point. I'm completely clueless as to what's going on
Anyway, doesn't matter that much, I got it to work with what I had

Really don't know , need to check against the ghost. R34 is a lot lighter for same HP , but in this game Power x weight is not a good base to compare cars.
Sure , i've checked already and it's even better than before. It can support Hard tires for fast track with a good amount of grip. The car stay very good. I'll publish it later.

What a wonderful tune. I was worried that racing soft tires was going to be too much grip. I was very wrong. This car rotates wonderfully predictably both on the gas and the breaks. Wonderful, wonderful drive. Now my favourite looking car in the the game is also my favourite drive in the game! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

So I figured out the following info in regards to tuning for specific tracks.
1. Sardegna = Sardegna Road Track - World Touring Car 800 event. PP800 / 15 Lap(s) -
The easiest option to grind for credits, because you just need to have a pit strategy and Fuel map strategy for whichever car you pick. You get the Clean Race Bonus nearly 100% of the time even if you hit other cars. Your tire wear is highly predictable because the weather is perfect in this event. It can be completed quite easily with only 1 pit stop with the Bugatti VGT.
2. Le Mans = Circuit de la Sarthe - World Touring Car 800 event - PP700 / 30 Minute (s) -
Takes slightly longer than Sardegna to complete the race, but you will be awarded more credits. However, you have to be careful with the rain and your pit strategy can vary from race to race depending on how hard the rain kicks in towards the end of Lap 2 / beginning of Lap 3. Most of the time you can run Racing Hard tires through the light rain and be fine. But sometimes you will need to Pit and switch to Intermediate, and if it stops raining too quickly you will need to pit again soon after and switch back. This variation in weather and fuel strategy makes you more vulnerable to spinning out in the rain or running out of gas altogether which you can easily avoid in Sardegna. Much more fun track to race though.
3. Tokyo = Tokyo Expressway - World Touring Car 600 event. PP600 - 12 Lap(s) -
Also referred to as Tokyo rain because you start the race with wet streets like it had just rained but the streets are not quite dry yet. Definitely requires a more skilled driver than the other 2 events. The lap starts and ends with 2 back-breaking turns when it comes to lap times if you don't manage them properly. Automatic transmission will not suffice on this track like it will on the other two. The course requires a shifting strategy beyond the capabilities of the auto transmission assist setting. With more risk of failure, you can earn more credits per hour on this track. But if you fail it kills the math in your credits per hour vs. just grinding on Sardegna.
I have a question in relation to the recent Maxed Valkyrie tune at Nordschleife. Which event is the one you are focusing on at Nordschleife? And is there a single go-to event for the other courses you have listed in your tunes? Like Spa, Watkins Glen, Suzuka, etc.
I have also sent another small donation to your Paypal. Words can't express how valuable your work and time truly is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sorry but the text is very long for me with my aphasia problem. Are you looking for cars for each event ? If yes , a lot of option but some cars here:
Sardegna very fast , pleasure to drive , easy .
Nissan R92CP '92 - 800PP - Racing Soft Tires - Sardegna - 1.36
Le Mans , a lot of options but 4WD easier for rain laps.
Nissan R34 GT-R V Nurb '02 - 700PP - Racing Hard Tires - All Track - SWAP -1.36
Tokyo, I prefer precision cars with front grip for driving pleasure in the bends. Also some 4WD cars are ok.
Ferrari Testarossa '91 - 600 PP - Sport Medium tires - All Tracks - 1.35
Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren '09 - 600PP - Sport Hard Tires - Tokyo rain event - 1.39
Toyota MR2 GT-S '97 - 600PP - Sport Hard - Tokyo -1.32
Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone '67 - 600PP - Sport Hard Tires - Tokyo Rain event - 1.39
Audi Sport Quattro S1 '87- 600 PP - Sport Hard Tires - Tokyo Rain event - 1.32
The Valkyrie is for online racing or Time trial.
Thanks a lot for your help.

@praiano63 his questions about the Maxed Valkyrie tune at Nordschleife:
1. Which event is the one you are focusing on at Nordschleife?
2. Is there a single go-to event for the other courses you have listed in your tunes? Like Spa, Watkins Glen, Suzuka, etc.?
Sardegna great with your R92 tune, but imo even better with Bugatti VGT Gr1. This car is 🤌
I must try Tokyo rain..
Edit: my apologies, I think you may have answered already but I missed it! 😳
