Skyline Gtr Vspec II

[andy2005]

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF THIS CAR?

 

[too cold]

Only con is a bit of understeer which you can fix with some tweaking.
Pro's= you can use it in 4wd/turbo and even Rally races. I used it quite alot when i won it in the beginner league.( i think thats where i won it)

WHAT KIND OF TWEAKING?

 

[-Fred-]

don't use caps lock, it looks like you're shouting.


answer to your question: the racing suspension, super-soft tires and weight reductions all help the handling of the car.

 

[andy2005]

will it last through the amateur league and if not what other car would u recomend

 

[too cold]

It's a great car to have in your garage and yeah it will get you thru amatuer in the races i listed above. I forget who i got these setts from, they work pretty well.

With careful setting up it'll be competitive in a few professional events as well.

All I have to say is that skyline GT-Rs are too heavy the tyres wear out too fast the handling is not responsive and I think they are too heavy I had a GT-R tuned to 1075hp but I sold it cos it suck

Geez - you get that all out in one breath?

I've found with the suspension lowered and stiffened they're fine - they do go through tyres though (not as bad as some though).

 

[axletramp]

I found running at around 700-800bhp rather than 1000bhp+ made the car easier and quicker to drive in race conditions (this is true of many cars). Also try and win a NISMO 400R when you can, it's a far better car to start with and tune.

too cold's settings are interesting. I discovered negative toe at the front end helps turn-in (same for most 4WD's). Different driving styles I guess.

...was it just me or did you find that NISMO 400R handled (to an extent) more like a RWD car.....or is there something I am missing about it.

Great motor mind

 

[axletramp]

Absolutely. I find the 400R easier to oversteer than many RWD cars in the game - Corvette springs to mind. I'm guessing the VCD throws more power to the back end.

I still find it more rewarding to drive than most cars in the game. If I had to be pushed I'd say it was may personal favourite in GT3, as it was in GT2.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Hmm, may have to try the 400R. I have the Nismo Skyline R32 S-Tune with about 650-700bhp and didn't think much of it at all. I found my RUF RGT with similar power and the same tyres had much more traction and better handling

I'm sure you're right about the RGT, it's just I find it a bit 'dead' to drive.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Thing about it being fairly docile is that it is great for either endurances, racing while half asleep or racing while pissed

I agree, these were someone else's setts, at the time they seemed good but it's been a while since i tried them. I love the Nismo 400R also, my 2nd fav in the game. If those setts don't work for him i'll come up with some.

Those German's think of everything...

 

[andy2005]

those settings work well

Cool! I thought they were pretty decent.

 

[f1king]

There are no cons.

 

[andy2005]

except i think that axletramp is right about the negative five degrees on the front wheel. ill try that and compare

 

[whitez]

pros-super fast and dope looking

 

[whitez]

cons- 4WD- not to good on take off those 4WD cars, especially the WRX and the VR-4

 

[FuryX21]

4WD worst for take-offs? I thought they had the best 'kick' off the line.

 

[andy2005]

i got the skyline and i suped it up to the max, it is a great car

 

[sn00pie]

28% VCD?? That's like contributing 13% to the front wheels, and overdose kills -> we all know that. TRAITOR! 15% or don't bother!

Wanna ****ing bet?

 

[CrackHoor]

The Skyline is a great car. In real life (and I assume in GT as well) the Skyline is rear-wheel drive until the back tires start to spin. A mechanical diff engages the fronts as soon as this happens. This might explain why they are easier to drive at 500-700HP, they would act like an FR. With 1000+ HP, all the wheels would spin every time you mash the gas, and you'd have more understeer. Discuss amongst yourselves...
