Change LSD to: 9,13,11 front and 17,32,13 rear... Increase ride height to -10 front and -2 rear.. Decrease camber to 1.4 front and 1.0 rear.. Change toe angle to -.15 front and -.10 rear.. Upon doing this try it first then increase the stiffness of your suspension if your running racing softs by 1 point on each ticker front and back on the spring rate and dampers.. Also as just a personal preference I run my brake bias at 4 front and 6 or 7 rear with 1 ABS.. Let me know how this works!

Do you race with handling aids?

In two of my cars the Nissan GT-R V-Sped '09 and Camaro SS RM '10 they seem to be understeering in the corners. Even when I slow down to a minimal speed pulling out of the corners send the car into a tail spin. Any help? Im using this tune for the Nissan. http://www.gt5-tuning.com/index.php?title=Nissan_GT-R_V-Spec_'09

Need more info:

1. Are you following the tune to the letter? The SS or RS version of it? If not, what changes have you made?

2. What tires are you experiencing this understeer/oversteer on?

3. Which track?

4. Wheel? Which one? DS3?

5. When you say understeer in corners do you mean on entry or mid-corner or both?

6. Brake balance?

7. Online or offline? Tire wear on?

8. Have some laptimes you can share so we can assess your driving ability?

I find most tuners don't post tunes that aren't thoroughly tested so I'd be very surprised if the tune was the issue. Every tuner has their own preferred driving style however, and it's possible their driving style doesn't mesh with your own.
 
for me if a car aint giong round a corner, especially 4wd cars that i try hammering roung turns (such as evo rm) a just add a tonne of negative toe (-.4 + -.25) that seems to make in a bit nippier, and if it still doesnt work ill try other such methods such as top post.

it may be odd to do so but it seems to work most times
 
Easiest way I've found to control oversteer is to lower the front ride height, or raise the rear. If the rear is a higher relative height than the front, I get less oversteer. If I need less understeer, I lower the rear relative to the front. No clue how this relates to real car tuning, but it seems to work in gt5. I got this from praiano63 tunes.

If the rear of the car wants to overtake you, it's not understeer, but oversteer.


....or are you trying to overcompensate the understeer with the loud pedal?
 
Throttle control.

If you're getting the same behavior regardless of corner speed, it pretty much points to your exit strategy. Take the corner your normal speed, and when you get to the exit, lightly add throttle until the car is straightened up and ready to go. If you mash the gas while the car is still turning, the back end is gonna take off on you.

Most problems can be sorted out by looking at the driver instead of the car ;)
