Alright, this is gonna be fun for me.

I've had the front drive fever for a while now and never got the chance to race it out. Regardless of how poor my time is, Im confident I will be around for this week.

Must admit though, I hate seattle.
 
Hmmm.. love the track, not sure about the car as I haven't driven it all that much. But definitely looking forward to this week 👍

*EDIT*
Let's not be shy about sharing our vehicle set-ups either guys. ;)
 
Just can't get to bed when your uncomfortable... I'll give this one a few tries, limit myself to half an hour. Be back!

I'm with unified, I love the track, but the car, eh.

Very.
 
Hmm. Good track, but the car...
I'll have to go out and get another RSX. Then mod it and set it up. And then try and get a decent time.

Lemme see what I can do.
 
I had a T3 of just under 1'16. Bleh, I rather dislike this car, but it's a challenging race, in a good, fun, spanky way.
 
Yeah, i think my T3 was a mid 1'17.xxx. But i only ran about 3 laps. And no, i dont particularly like this car either.
 
I don't know the car. I don't like the walls. I'm sure it's gonna be both challenging and fun again this week.:D
 
Ahh, well atleast I have the car and possibly enough money to fully tune it... now I only have to unlock Seattle in Arcade mode. Will see what I can do... haven't been getting as much time as hoped for GT3 recently( almost no time ).
 
Okay, I tried this, and first I got T3 of 1´19secs. Then, something happened, and I cutted 2,3 seconds from my previous best. Lowered T3 to 1´17.2 secs. If someone has a good setup for the car, please post it here. I feel that the car is unstable on straights. Now I don´t have a problem with walls, like I had in Coté. I have lots of time on this weeks race, because I´m on holidays :cool:
 
FF@Seattle?!? might have to give a mate of mine a call and grab a setup of him me thinks...:D
 
Tenzo, which wheel are you using?

Have a happy new year's eve guys!

heh.png

Get rid of that time... We only share splits.

The people here have played Gran Turismo, hardcore, for at least a short period of time. Run the OLR for a few weeks, and you'll see how much you've learned. Until then, practice, practice, practice.

Yes..... do not speak of your total lap time..... just your "T" times.

And im actually going to help you unlike an unsaid person..........

*points up* coughgoombacough

Your settings probably need to be messed with..... you can easily gain seconds with the right setup.
 
like i said ive been playin for a while, like since the game came out, and ive never really adjusted any settings except for the auto setting in the tranny, i only drive automatic, never really tried manual, even though every car ive ever owned was a stick, kinda funny huh, if you guys would be so kind as to help explain what kind of adjustments i should make it would be greatly appreciated
thanks:)
 
Okay, I just spent some time redoing my settings, and this is what I've got:

Spring Rate: 6.0/20.0 Changed
Ride Height: 90/94
Bound: 9/9
Rebound: 10/10
Camber: 2.5/1.5 Changed as well
Toe: -0.5
Stabilizers: 3/7

Brakes: 16/20

All LSDs @ 5

ASM: 0
TCS: 1

That snagged me a T3 of 1'15.6xx
With the changes, I had a T3 of 1'15.0xx
 
thanks alot for the help, with those settings i got a t2? of 1min 20 secs, not quite as fast as yours but alot better than my last run, btw, im not seein where it says T3, but anyway thanks for the info
 
i wish i could read japanese, ive been lookin thru the nissan japan website and it would be nice if i knew what i was clickin on, i did manage to find out that a loaded skyline runs about 3,500,000 yen (or about 33,500us) :)
