drive train ....... !!!

[THEPUNISHER]

Soo when i got my copy gt5 i was happy excited i just kept playing tuning racing adjusting stuff such as transmission LSD 4wd system .

but there is a thing is just ummm how can i put this making me go nuts ?????

#1 clutch & flywheel

clutch and flywheel when i buy them i never feel or see or realize what difference does it make on the car's performance

i sometimes say to myself : why do i spend on this when it it doesn't make any differences i know its a game money is easy but can someone SHOW me how does it effect the performance of car .

#2 drive shaft


i only realized its effected on starting the car from 0 ( launching the car ) and nothing else and a bit in straight line , is that it ?

# 3 limited slip diff



at this drive train part i have no single idea what it do to the car i only know that it make car two wheel drive ( for older cars like nissan bluebird mitsubishi lancer 1985 etc )
and the adjustments for it ,,,,,,, " initial torque " , " braking sensitivity " , " acceleration sensitivity " .

can some explain to me each one of them what does it do ?
i only know what braking sensitivity do , i think it is when you remove your foot from the acceleration paddle the car de-accelerate more if you increase the number , did i get this right ?

and the others i have no idea i just put them 30 to 45 .


# 4 4wd system control


ok that an obvious part you just buy it and setup the 4wd system for what you like , but if i like the 4wd system should i buy it and make it like the original 4wd system ? like in the GT-R R35 its 65 to the back , soo should i buy it to make any difference to the 4wd performance ?

and thats it .

#1 Clutch does the shifts quicker and the flywheel allows the engine to raise through the revs quicker. (not very noticeable but it does)

#2 Driveshaft... yup thats what it does it's generally reducing the mass that needs to be moved to assist acceleration.

#3 Diffs acceleration the higher the number the sooner the diff locks so both wheels spin at the same time great for straight lines but not good for accelerating out of corners unless perfectly straight leave loose (lower number) to allow the wheels to rotate independently deceleration similar to acceleration but for braking and turning in to corners e.g. high number means that the wheels will lock to the same rotational speed easier which is probably not so good in most tunes I've seen this is always really low 5-12 (RWD mainly what I drive) initial not too sure on this but I think this is the base level of the diffs torsion level (level of lock) I think.. could be way off on that!! I wait to be corrected!

#4 4Wd depends how you like your car to handle really if you are getting too much understeer put a bit more power to the back that should help... (again wait to be corrected)

There is a lot of info in the game but it is sometimes hard to understand as it does go on a bit.. Hope this helps a bit..

Hi,
Here's my 2 cents on the effects they have in GT5:

Clutch & Flywheel
Check this out: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4734388#post4734388 (yes, it's long and confusing, you'll need to read it a few times)

For a long time I automatically whacked on these upgrades thinking it was improving straight line speed. When I finally tested it, there was no improvement in a mildly tuned racecar and in fact sometimes the upgrades have negative handling side effects. They are best used for cars with slooooow gearshifts.

Driveshaft
Similar to flywheel in theory, haven't tested it specifically though.

LSD
There's millions of threads here on this. Start with Tuning Link sticky.

Centre Diff
At the most basic level, it's power understeer (front biased) vs power oversteer (rear biased). Might also be useful for balancing tyre wear, I dunno.

Theres videos on youtube that explain who these work in real life.
Search Clutch explained or Limited Slip Differentail explained. Theres loads of similiar videos
