Nissan Skyline Coupe/Tuned 650PP/R3 Fuji PRO Online 100,000 Views Edition
This thread is nearing 100,000 views, time for some reflection, and of course: a tune! The tune of choice for this event is the Nissan Skyline Coupe/Tuned from the Concepts by Gran Turismo section. Why would I pick this one? Because this is the car that started it all!
When I started posting some setups in the tuning section of this forum in the early day of May 2008, I got a PM from Dragonistic suggesting I might open a tuning shop of my own. At the time, I was a pretty big noob at tuning, but I decided: what the heck, I'll do it! So I opened up this thread and one of the first cars I tuned was the Skyline Coupe/Tuned. I offered it up for review in the
Hire a test driver thread, and boy was it
hammered into the ground! I could have quit right there, but it actually ticked me off enough to vow for revenge and it inspired me to re-evaluate my tuning strategy, resulting in the Dodge Viper/Tuned tune, which got an
excellent review. From then on, DC has been growing and growing, drawing many racers to this thread and publishing many, many tunes (you can still select all of them from the first page of this thread). The greatest highlight was of course the winning of the Tuner Showdown with the Viper/Tuned! Of course, this garage could not have been a success without my loyal test drivers (especially Ardius and Dan/Hyperuk/Hyperspeed), the GT Planet forums and most of all: YOU, the people driving my tunes! Without all of you this garage would be nothing and my tunes just a set of boring numbers. I just hope you enjoyed it all as much as I did. And of course this is not the end; with GT5 on the horizon, it's just the beginning!
Oh yes, I nearly forgot the tune.
Not much to say, it's fast, it handles like a dream. Just don't expect it to beat a Clio and don't slam the throttle in two while you are turning. Have fun and let me know what you think!
