T1 31.667
T2 1'00.082
I still see probably 3 seconds coming of my final time if i get enough time this weekend. I've only ran about 15 laps so far. I'm driving the GT-R V-Spec N1 II '00, but I may try out the Nur also.

Driving the 02' Vspec II Nur
I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't make this thing turn a corner! Finally got a chance to try a few times last night, but I've not even run a complete lap yet. Spent 30 minutes playing with different settings just to see if I could make the car behave better through the set of corners leading up to T1 and the sharp right-hander shortly thereafter.
Best T1 I managed was 33ish. Horrible, just horrible.
This is a bad week so may not get to run too much, but will at least be submitting a time if nothing else.

Of course there could be an advantage to living in the same household with a D1 driver.... ehh Lotus?daan
I shoulda married a D1 driver, woulda married a D1 driver, coulda married a D1 driver...
Actually I think it's great that a couple can share GT. My missus and I sit down once in awhile and go car shopping in GT4. Picture taking too. With a couple glasses of our favorite adult beverages and a bit of time to relax the game is fun.

Still using the v-spec II nur.
New splits.
T1-30.711
T2-58.597
There's still time to get with these splits. If only I had the guts to pull the trigger and let 'er snap!

Think of the disadvantages of being a D1 driver with a wife who wants to drive on your set up most of the time? cutting down my own race time and hoggin the DFP
and then there's the kids wanting to have a go also! it's no wonder I dont run as much of late 
getting undisturbed race time during the day is like searching for the Holy Grail 
But I dont really mind at all it's just best for me to run in the middle of the night when they are all snoozing

You smoothy.
You don't know that I look like a San Diego Linebacker who was dropped on his face too often as a child, do you?
But the car ... the car (M.N.P.) is a beaut ... I *really* wanted to use this one purely because of the color ... yeah, I'm shallow like that, but it's all about appearances BAHBAY!
I've finally got her to respond how I like it ... a little like a damned battleship in the braking and cornering, but I'm getting used to it and beginning to post times I like the look of.
Going to tune transmission using the tranny-trick next to see if I can break 59.5 and push for the sub 59 mark.
KLR, you haven't got away from me yet.
YET.

Okay, made some progress...
'00 GT-R N1
T1 31.182
T2 59.689
So, does anyone else have a huge problem using the DFP on this track? I tried but I don't have pretzel arms! I tried running the 300 degree mode but that just doesn't feel right (yet). I've been doing the best so far with my DS2 this time.
I did run the Audi TT on RSS tires, and that's a joy with the wheel, BTW. The turn-in understeer of the AWD Skylines on sport tires is just something I have to get used to.

Another car that I've found like this is the '87 R31 GTS-R. I found one in the used lot with 10km on it, and at full-tune it's whacking out 491HP with a Stage 4 Turbo and weighing in at 1139kg. I've put it through T2 in under a minute, just barely.
Has anyone else tried this car? I'd be interested to see what a decent driver could get out of it...

Koly,
That's amazing! I must have the wrong car to use this week then. No wonder h0t is having such a hard time! Funny thing is last week I was totally comfortable with the 900 degree DFP with only one corner that I may have used more than 150 degrees of lock...
I'll have to try this hot setup '02 Nur...

Well it looks like you are doing quite well Kolyana, nice work representing P-Town baby! I will try to find time to trim this one, but I kinda doubt it, this weekend is looking pretty booked. How did you like those settings Kolyana? Did they atleast works as a starting point or were they not to your liking? Well anyway great times posted people!

Looks like I'm gonna have to eat my words from the other day about there being so much room for improvement for my time. It seems no matter what I do I can't improve. The car is great fun though. I'm not a big Skyline fan, but this rear wheel drive version (the GTS-t M '89) is a lively beast. No understeer to speak of (unlike most of the others) and a playful hint of oversteer in the higher speed corners with some nice (if slow) powersliding out of the hairpins. The brakes seem a bit weak, but that's about the only bad thing I can say about it. I'll definitely be using it in the future for a few races.

Getting somewhere, but not sure where exactly. I keep making up time in the first sector, but still losing a lot in the second. Anyhow, new splits of 30.478 and 58.214, shaving .2 total at the line.
Am liking this combo very much the more I drive it.. just wish it didn't feel great going into a turn and then feel sloppy as hell in the middle of it.

Got 1.00.160 (my PB) on T2 on about my 6th runwiht it on Z's sext settings with some slight tweaks

Am I the only one here that's running the original Nissan center diff and limited slip devices?(=oversteer)Canoe
Hmmm, I'll be living with one in a little over a month... And that's awesome about you and the missus... 👍CanoeOf course there could be an advantage to living in the same household with a D1 driver.... ehh Lotus?

Yeah, there are still a few days left though... Hehehe, I feel the pressure though, I can see it coming... You're still getting used to it...Kolyana
I wonder how that thing accelerates, because it, by far, has the best HP to weight ratio. How much trq. does it have? Is it a 6spd or 5spd? Have you driven any of the other cars back to back with it? How are it's brakes?CrackHoor

Darn, I'll look for your settings ... I may have printed them (but with no name) ... so let me dig through this thread and see what I can find! I'll sure let you know what happens.
** EDIT:
Ah yes, I *DID* print those settings and I *DID* try them (just didn't have your name on the sheet and I thought it was actually someone else that posted them).
Unfortunately they didn't work for me ... *aspects* might, but I'll have to try these things one at a time to see what works and what doesn't: I was easily 2 seconds slower using those settings *as is*.
Oh, and I couldn't figure out how you got those gear ratios ... they seem off the scale?

No sweat, you settings are producing better times than mine. Nice work!
So what are these divisions everyone says they are apart of? Is that a ranking system where div1 is the best and there are like 10 racers in it, then b is the second best...etc.? Sorry for the blatent noobie ? and such.
