Nissan Xanavi Nismo GT-R '08 Tuning

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, I have gone through an Tuned the Nissan Xanavi Nismo GT-R '08 both Stock and Upgraded!

Just an FYI before giving out the Specs, I just thought I would let everyone know that the Tuning I have done is by using the Stick (AKA: Controller) and I had all of my Settings turned off except the ABS which was set at 1.

After all available Modifications have been added, the Nissan really screams down the track. Although there have been a few things altered in the Tuning, the Nissan actually handles better in the corners with proper handling and acceleration. Be warned though. Give her too much juice when coming out of a corner and you are sure to get sideways!

Nice tune, this helped, thanks.

I bought me this car yesterday and raced with the stock setting on the nurnberg nordschleife a few races, became last with half a track distance but I like the car a lot as its the first car that I find ingame that suits my driving style, I need to practice the track more to know where to break and where to go flat out as I dont know this track so good yet.

I will try this tuned setup this afternoon also to see how the difference will be with more hp.

But I think car is just great and it looks fantastic, way better then its newer brother.

I've tried your tune but compare to a NSX or a Yellowhat supra that car still lack corner capability. I know it can be tune to better than that, I just can't make it it seems.

Then I think my nsx tune aint good as I slide of the track all the time as it seems to have no grip at all.

This tune is an improvement to stock, which is enough to justify it for me.
The GT-R's by design aren't as 'nimble' but still appear to be quicker than the NSX. The supra on the other hand... driver preference I'd think.

That one from Rotary Junkie aint bad actually, very stable nsx :

I'm actually looking for a GT500 cars tune that is able to run 1.51 high on Suzuka and 1.31 on Fuji (power limited at 530PS no skid recovery). I realize driver ability is also a part of it but I'm not that bad of a driver I think.

Yeah that tune is fast but not very stable in my opinion. I ran that yesterday at Fuji and had a lot of trouble keeping the rear under me in the last few turns while trail breaking. I suppose I like less rear brake? Idk in real life higher rear brake bias will give you more entry turn in.

i hit a 6:12 on nurburgring with this car ^_^ i wish i could upload my replay =(

I cant remember out of my head which tune I got on my nsx but as you said its fast but its slippery and that is what I found by the nismo way less. Had the feeling the nismo was more forgiving and a bit easier to drive in general.

What power are you using on your NSX ? 530 or you just put them at max power ?

I never tune mine. Got to stay true to the series. So I believe it's 502hp fully broken in and oil changed

weird really. I've tried the Takata setup on the Motul 1 one and it worked pretty good.

Did you guys tried the LDP one ? maybe it's that one that is stable.

Maxed out.

I tried the nsx epson, stealth and loctite and these work good in a-spec(b-spec bob running smooth with it also ) but online this car is very hard to handle.

Wienish also has a Takata Tune, I believe that's the one I use.

it drifts a lor what can i do? help meee plz!
