GT3 Hybrids - Feel free to show yours

[Zero McDol]

I'm finally (after all these years lol) able to make hybrids in GT3.


My First Hybrid, now upgraded with F1 tires and a 787B Clutch (I don't care about which clutch I use, long as it's from a race car)




I'm very much the underdog in this race haha (AE86 S.S. has 350hp only)

 

[Zero McDol]

Sticking with 10 vids at a time only, feel free to show off your hybrids.



Inspired by the 2004 M3 GTR Race Car - Motor: CLK Race motor/stock exhaust (no N/A tuning)


Lot of work finding the engine with the right sound (3400S motor - sport exhaust)

I'll make a video showing mine so I can post it here

Very awesome , go for it.

 

[submaniac93]

Alright! Here goes. I haven't made too many hybrids in GT3 yet. And I mostly go for semi-crazy stuff, contrary to how I do it in GT1 and 2. x)

~1100hp Aston Martin Vanquish


~600hp Lotus Motorsport Elise


~5000hp RX7 LM, made for speed.


~3000hp FTO LM, made for being fast on tracks, but I didn't up its downforce to crazy amount.


~4000hp R32 GTR, tried making a super quick road car... but meh. Too much torque.


Rest on the next post because of the 5 embedded media limit.

 

[submaniac93]

~1100hp Clio Cup, made for an easy Clio cup championship.


910hp trusty Castrol Supra GT only with maximum downforce, nothing else. Used that for most of my hybridized playthrough.


~600hp Trueno AE86, for fun.


~1400hp Tuscan, because I needed one.

Looks like I need to get back to Gran Tursimo 3 again to do some hybriding of my own, I found a resource for the values if needed if you want, it's very deep in GTP though, a super MR2 would be awesome.

 

[Zero McDol]

Great job on the hybrids submaniac93, love the F1 tires 👍. I retuned all of my MR-S's with them a few days ago, after experiencing how insanse grip was.

Cool JakeMR2, feel free to post them here 👍. Edit: So far I'm ok. If you know any base car codes, that'd be great. I'm unfortunely only working with a codebreaker, so codes are very hard to find at the moment.

Thinking about building another MR-S in the 4k hp range, I'll post it if it turns out well.

 

[submaniac93]

The magic of GT3 garage editor is what I use ^^'
I've never owned a cheat disc except on my psp. Plus, with how many codes are needed to make anything... i'm better off with save modding. Playing on pc is also a big plus for that... much easier to add codes :3
I can also use cheat engine here and there for simple stuff like downforce editing or money raining xD

Also yeah. If you want grip, F1 tires are an absolute requirement. >.>
Once you use them, it's hard to let go too :X

Ty for the info, I'll definitely keep that in mind, and may do that for future hybrids 👍.

Very true haha, their gripping power is second to none .

 

[JakeMR2]

You can probably make a older X2010 make believe hybrid super Racer with those tires, got to get the gearing right though.

 

[submaniac93]

Probably. However you'll never be able to get the same amount of grip at low speeds, but with maximum downforce, F1 tires, a long-ish chassis, so maybe use one of the F1s as base, F1 (Naturally Aspirated) engine, a little bit of turbo upgrade and.. I guess we could get something quite good. However, I don't think there's a way to get 7 speed. I don't even know if there's a 7-speed transmission car in GT3.

 

[GTvsForza]

I don't think there is. I originally thought the F1 cars would have 7 gears like in GT4 and up.

 

[submaniac93]

Unfortunately, since GT3's F1s are based on models from the 80-90s (1994 for the most recent), they're all 6 speed. Oh well lol.

Gave it a shot, upped the hp on my MR-S to 4220hp (It's my main hybrid, so it gets special treatment lol), very hard to drive haha.

Also wanted to mention, my video list will be updated periodically as I make more vids, but I'll keep it at 10 at a time.

Right now I am building the ultimate Trueno first, I used a Rotary engine from the FD, and gave it 10 multiplier for the HP, and will share my .ini file with you guys, this is also done with GT3gEdit.

Edit:
I ruined my Trueno....

 

[Zero McDol]

Hmm, keep the car. I think you just need to adjust the hp multiplier.

 

[JakeMR2]

I fixed the issues with my hybrid, but I may fine tune the power multiplier if needed.

 

[Zero McDol]

I figured, I remember making the same mistake myself when I first started hybriding in GT3 and awesome, can't wait to see it in action .

 

[submaniac93]

I realised that there's a video that's gone missing (from those I wanted to post here). I don't know when it disappeared (probably when I compressed them after recording xD) so i'll post it in a bit. It's nothing much, just a top speed run, basically how fast could I push a hybrid on Test Course. >.>

EDIT: Here

 

[Zero McDol]

Nice, I just made a test course specific, drag supra myself 👍.






Here's a list of a few downforce settings I use for my specific bhp lv's.

Front/Rear
800hp and up: 225/255 e1/ff
590+ to 700+: 195/225 c3/e1
450/570: 175/205 af/cd
321/450: 155/185 9b/b9
251/320: 125/155 78/9b
197/250+ : 95/125 5f/78
70/196: 65/95, or 75/105 pending on the car 41/5f & 4b/69

I found these to be pretty good downfroce settings to maintain strong handling and decent top speed.

 

[Zero McDol]

Best chasses choices for weight, but will only fit correctly if the wheelbase length matches. All have been tested on various hybrids I've made and are very well-balanced:

787B chassis
R390 chassis
GT-One chassis
Escudo Pikes Peak chasses
ZZS chassis

The only cars that I found that none the chassis don't fit completely is the 240SX (S13) and RX7 (FC).

 

[submaniac93]

For chassis choices I only try to get within 5mm difference to original. Which is a bother considering the limited choices, but heh. I don't like seeing my wheels misplaced on the car i'm driving.

Edit: New hybrid (a request)

 

[Zero McDol]

I feel you and I also will refuse to build a car if the wheelbase doesn't match. I go about 10mm, pending on how the wheelbase lines up.
