I belive that you guys all know that they (ZZII and R32-34) uses same engine RB26DETT. SO! what do u guys think is a better car for grip racing? Like crazy corners in Laguna seca and special route 11?

Personally i think ZZII is better cause it is as light as hell! :)
 
The ZZII will tie the R34 up in a little ball and kick it over the fence. No question. But for the price difference, it ought to.
 
Personally I'm in love with the ZZII except for one thing...understeer. Using Laguna Seca as an example, I lapped once at 1.20.006, but usually around 1.22 or 1.23 and I know I can go faster, but I have to slow down so much for the second turn because of understeer. And the 5th turn as well, hard to know when to turn in on that high speed left hand sweeper, but I usually either go in too early or end up exiting too wide. How can I correct the understeer?
Thanks,
Tom
 
For understeer correction I guess you could change the setup. I don't do that (okay maybe a wing here and there), a) because I don't really understand how and b) even if I did, there's a good chance that changes in setup wouldn't have the effect they should (it is just a game after all).

What I like to do to get around understeer is when I turn in, steer gently at first, but increase the lock as I go round the corner. That way the front end doesn't slide so much.
 
Actually, I've found the understeer of the ZZII can be largely reduced just by turning off ASM and TCS, or leaving TCS at a very low level (1 or 2, it does have a tendency to spin the wheels in first gear with it turned completely off). It allows you to give the car a little drift, to get through the corners at a tighter angle. It's not so much reducing the understeer as far as countering it with oversteer, but it works.

I actually became aware of the ZZII's capabilities only yesterday, if you believe it.. hehe. I saw it mentioned a couple times on another forum, and went to go test it out. Turns out I had won one way back when and never even glanced at it twice.. it was just collecting dust in my garage. But man, that thing is a monster. I daresay it's beyond a mere sports car, I'd call it a supercar. Incredibly fast and nimble.. lots of power in a lightweight, wide, low body. Ten second quarter mile and a top speed over 200+mph, right out of the box, and it can go head-to-head with some of the LeMans cars. Ain't no Skyline can do that. :)

Further adjustments can probably deal with that understeer, though.. All I did was shut off the driving aids, that worked rather well all by itself. I'm sure tweaking the stabilizers, suspension, downforce, etc, will do even more.
 
well the faster car for racing is the ZZII, for example on GT3times the fastest lap at midfield for a ZZII is 0:56.789, where as the GTR laps in 1:03:823. big big difference.
 
The ZZII is without a doubt my fastest car (I don't count the F1's or meant to be F1's) I never did like the ZZII in GT2, so I thought it would be ****e in GT3. That is NOT the case. I love that car. I don't use it as much now. Actually I don't use it at all now. Instead I use my trusty Porsche..... Errrr.... RUF RGT. That has understeer, but I manage. The Skylines look more like a grunty race car than the ZZII. I will occasionally take one out for a drive.

Really it all depends on what you're after. Personally I'd go for the ZZII. You can do more with it.
 
thats a coincidence because i was going to ask the same question a few days ago and if the ZZII really cam with a rb26dett. Thats weird...but i think the ZZII is better.

Hands down the ZZII will destroy a R34 for grip racing (most racing), in GT3 or real life. It is lower, more balanced, more downforce and much lighter. It is one of the better cars in the game.

However, I'll take a R34 over a ZZII anyday. I prefer the brutish looks, brutal power delivery and overall feel of the R34 to the ZZII. It might not be the faster of the two but I enjoy looking at it, and driving it, much more. The R34 is second only to RUFs in my book.
 
The ZZ is my favorite car after the Mustang SVT Cobra R and the Corvette Z06, i love the cornering but it doesnt beat the fealing when you Drift the R34
 
Does anyone have any knowledge of the ZZII's history? I've read somewhere that the ZZII later became my own personal dream car, the ASL Garaiya, is this true?

The ZZII is way better and more funner to drive.

More and funner used together, thats interesting. Anyway i totally agree with your point, ZZII ROCKS!! :D
 
ZZ11?

Oh, you mean ZZII.

Between the Skyline and the ZZII - the ZZII. Duh? It's more powerful, and it's a race-tuned car which makes it better to drive than the Skyline.
