Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec BCNR33 '97

6646665853_928f8c0cac_b.jpg


The miles alone could tell you that this car has been around the SSR7 more than a few times. Tried and proven, this wangan legend is a tough contender on the highway. At 600PP it can keep up with the monsters of the wangan.. JZA80 Supra Mk. IV. Though it's top speed is less than that of the Supra, it has great power, acceleration and with near 1000RPM left to draft after reaching top speed this RGO (Wangan Midnight) inspired ride will top out beyond 250mph provided you have enough tunnel left









so the 1.9 is a 1.900 right? or its just an approximate or base?

so it would be

1.9=1.900
1.03=1.030
0.81=0.810
etc right?

Review: Midnight Rose

I love the Esprit. It's one of my favorite cars. I'm not even 100% sure what attracts me to it. It could be the 4th and 5th generation's "modern with a hint of nostalgia" design (which would explain why I hate the new Esprit concept so much). It could be the sick and twisted idea of stuffing a V8 into a MR vehicle. I really don't know what it is, but it's whatever.

While it recently dawned upon me that no open lobby players like the idea of a 600PP restriction in SSR7 races (which makes me sad beyond belief), I still have to drive the Midnight Rose. A lot. This car is a ton of fun to use and it's my favorite car for SSR7. Everyone's shock and disbelief at the car's true strength is just priceless. "I left that car in the dust at the start. How did it catch up so suddenly???"

An Enzo driver humored me and gave just enough distance for me to draft him in one of the tunnels at SSR7 after I told him the car's max speed while drafting (306 MPH as tested at SSRX with some Veyrons and a Viper). Rest assured, the Esprit climbed and climbed, reaching about 290 MPH before it was right on the Enzo's tail.

I quote the driver: "That is so unreal. It just keeps freaking climbing. Watching that car close in so fast is one of the scariest things I've ever seen in this game."

Within it's pp class, this car is unstoppable. It can't beat a maxed out McLaren F1, Nissan GT-R, or Ferrari Enzo, but god help them if they make a mistake because all the Midnight Rose needs is that draft.

I've done enough boasting about this car. Let's go over the pros and cons quick.

Pros: The max speed is ridiculous, especially coming from something just short of 600PP. It corners decently enough to eventually catch the average Veyrons at SSR7 and spank them. Remember that this car is set up like a 4-speed and uses 5th for drafting. That's pretty impressive. Lastly, the menacing exhaust note of the V8 is quite satisfying.

Cons: Typical of a MR vehicle that isn't the NSX, it's going to kill you if someone hits you too hard or you take a corner even slightly wrong. Adding a spoiler makes it more stable, but hurts the car's speed way too much to be worth it. Don't expect this to win in an unrestricted SSR7 race. It's a fun, unstoppable killing machine until the douche with the GT-R or Enzo on Racing Softs shows up.

Other Notes: I actually don't consider the first con a con at all, but I put it there because people seem to mistake anything hard to drive as a bad thing these days. It's unfortunate. People prefer the easy way out instead of going with the car that will reward you for mastering it.

Overall: This car is insane. As a fan of the TXR series, I had to dive into the 12 Zodiacs and this is the car for me. I highly recommend it. :D
 
Thank you for the great review of Midnight Rose i am glad you enjoyed driving this machine as much as i did building it 👍

The Amuse R1 is the car that i used in my unbeaten run in Legend of the Streets Season 3. I feel this car is much more stable than before and can be easily controlled if the rear does step out.

Here is my review on Shadow's R1 tune

Amuse R1 Titan Review
by Street-King-07​

Running the Amuse R1 in Legend of the Streets with this particular tune has been hugely enjoyable despite the controversy this car has generated. I always have been stepping up my efforts in LotS and I believe this car represents my peak.

Despite this being a DS3 tune, I have been able to adapt my driving style using my G25 without changing any aspect of the suspension. The car's high speed handling is superb and it feels very stable through fast sweepers. The way the suspension has been set up also allows a higher speed through tighter corners than most other cars of similar PP and the LSD settings allow for excellent acceleration out of the corners. This tune helped me to shave my personal best 500PP time at my home course of Brae of Enzie down to below 4 minutes 7 seconds after having to really work hard.

This car has a very hot temper meaning it demands respect and it needs to be properly 'driven' in order to get the absolute limits out of it because if you haven't got the driving talent, it will come back and bite you. However if it is driven well, it delivers a superb driving sensation.

Overall, the Titan is a seriously fast and enjoyable car as long as the driver has the guts to handle it's fiery attitude.
 
The moment you have all been waiting for (not really...) is finally here!
The Wangan Masters Tournament teaser is finally completed!

 
Do you think you would be able to do a wangan tune for the RUF yellow bird? If you dont have one I could send you mine if you send it back.

In addition to the currently ongoing car sets I've been working on, there's one more which I was waiting to announce until I had most of the setups near completed. That time is now.

I've been laboriously working on a set of cars to celebrate my love of Gundams! Why? you ask. Because I can! and because I love touge! Now, imagine if Gundams transformed into cars.


The first batch of Gundam Cars is based off of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing


Gundam Wing Endless Waltz (>500PP) :
Wing Gundam Zero Custom: Lotus Esprit V8 '02
Gundam Heavy Arms Custom: Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V-SPEC II Nur (R34) '02
Altron Gundam Custom: Honda NSX Type R '02
Gundam Sandrock Custom: Mazda RX-8 Type S '07
Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom: Lotus Evora
Talgeese III: Nissan SKYLINE Coupe 370GT Type SP '07
Talgeese II: Nissan Fairlady Z Version S (Z33) '07

Gundam Wing (<500PP) :
Wing Gundam: ?? Z33?
Gundam Heavy Arms: Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V-Spec II (R32) '94
Shenlong Gundam: Acura NSX '91
Gundam Sandrock: Mazda efini RX-7 Type R (FD3S) '91
Gundam Deathscythe: Lotus Elise '96 (funny, right?)
Talgeese: ?? S15? Z32?

I'm looking for help from the community. Anyone who wants their voice heard, I'll be listening for suggestions as to which cars to take the place of the "??'s."

COMING SOON (not too soon)
G GUNDAM (aka Gundam-Ball Z! Shining Gundam will NOT be a GT-R)

A completely different approach at the NSX than that of Poseidon, The Altron is an homage to the Altron Gundam Custom. A tighter LSD setup with lower initial acceleration than Poseidon and higher braking acceleration equates in a more balanced turning radius but requires more delicate throttle inputs.

It maintains the same spring rate style of a tighter rear but with softer and less drastic dampening. Altogether this makes for a very balanced vehicle for those with the skill to handle it.

Tamed at 600PP this Caterham is now usable now after suspension adjustments allowing the car to slide less. As long as you keep off the grass and kurbs this will not slide as mush as it used too.

After hearing a lot of things about this car in lobbies i decided to tune this minivan, And wow what a sleeper it can be. Transmission has been tweaked to remove the power loss in 4th & 5th due to the automatic transmission mode the real car has.

A faily easy car to handle well which in the right hands could out-maneuver some of the lighter cars. It's a porker, tipping the scales over 1400kg. But, nearly 390hp and an effective suspension architecture, there is rarely an excess of unsprung weight when cornering. Which leads into very smooth and predictable handling. It's very agile as well with highly responsive brakes.

After weeks of looking at this car sat in my garage thinking of weather of not to tune it, I finally made up my mind.
I found it very tail happy but after many hours testing different suspension settings, This is the result.

After weeks of tuning this car on and off, It all came down to the damper settings of my AE86 Tune. Same as the AE86 this car was extremely tail happy. This has now been minimized and has turned this little AW11 into a pocket rocket.

this could be the most fun car i have ever driven on gt5 being able to be in complete control while drifting past people in races is very satisfying amazing tune
