I’ve updated to v1.8 just purely now because search function can be turned on and off. no need for separate files…

Hi Hooekedonturbo, I did type with a capital T but Excel changed it - I suspect i didn’t do point 7 correctly. I didn’t see the dotted points. I will turn the laptop on again and try.

@hookedonturbo
First id like to thank you for putting this calculator togeather. I attempted to use the new dyno feature but it seem to have a bug while trying to do the Sport quatrro S1. It keeps calculating my shift point to be 4100 rpms. The shot of the gearing sheet is after hitting the calculate button. its started at peak HP 8000, TQ at 6000

I’ll test it out now, I’ve put together a video which I will post up soon of the full setup with the expert version as well.

Make sure you have
drawn the new torque curve correctly, it looks like you might have missed part of it. Change the colour of the line to white and check it…

Attempted to redo the Tourqe curve line with the same result. the second picture is my screen shot from the Ps app if you would like to try that picture

Whelp.....lol,
I just redid it again and it worked. This time i closed the workbook and started fresh. Does the calculate macro clear any previous data and start fresh or is it a one time use. I dont think i clicked calculate with sample line / picture still being present.

Ahhh yes, there was probably a torque curve line already on there which needed to be deleted first… my bad I should have wrote that in the instructions….

Maybe rename name your example line Torque1 so it wont be calculated by the macro if a new line named "Torque" is added? Just a thought
. Still a killer workbook/App tho!

Cheers mate! It’s been some work to get it all working as it should, still making tweaks here and there, I really want to get the other suspension settings added in asap. Will be fully ready for app migration then…Maybe rename name your example line Torque1 so it wont be calculated by the macro if a new line named "Torque" is added? Just a thought

Will the new update have camber and swaybar setting reccomendations? It bugs me how GT doesnt have suspention telemitry data like forza does. Forza is a cake to tune suspention with the suspention/tire telemitry data.

If you have an iPhone download EzioDash not much in terms of real telemetry but tire temps etc are helpful…

I did see that amoug others apps was hoping for active camber data like in forza 
but temps are still usefull!

Updated file to download is just both lite and expert for everyone that has purchased the full version not just the lite version.
Can someone please explain the difference in features between the two versions. I get that one uses VBA macros and is fixed to the desktop. But beyond that what don’t I get if I buy lite rather than pro?
also does the pro version also include the lite for new customers or if I buy the pro am I stuck to the desktop?

Hi thanks for the reply. I’m afraid I found the videos rather hard to follow. Happy to accept that’s likely my fault. I have watched them both and I’m afraid the only difference I spotted was around the Dyno graphs - which I confess I don’t know if I need or not. Is that the only difference?

This is a good approach as you perfect the tool. The lite version can work on the ipad/phone as you play and then you can refine the gears with the expert version on a computer.

Lets not forget the expert version shows you the exact power band and shift points for the set of gears.

@hookedonturbo I've been playing GT for years but recently started racing online regularly and realised I needed to up my game a bit. Improving my driving technique is part of it but having a properly set up car that inspires confidence also plays a huge part. The guys I race against have been doing it for years and some of them race in the real world so are way ahead of me in both driving technique and setting a car up to get the most out of it on track.
I bought the tuning calculator last week and although I struggled to get my head round it at first (videos have helped but would be better with a voice over) I think I've mastered the basics now. Still to figure out the Dyno thing and I've researched my own camber set up but really enjoying the process of setting the cars up and tweaking them knowing I've at least got the suspension, gearing and LSD set up correctly. ARB'S still a guessing game but the cars are now a joy to drive! It would be amazing to also have a camber/ARB settings included but even without them it's well worth the money and has solved a big knowledge gap problem for me.
Would it be an idea to have a basic ball park camber/ARB track settings advice on a page until these sections are included (not sure if you are developing that feature) Our weekly challenge this week is a FR road car on sports tyres with a maximum of 525PP so I set up and tested a couple of MX5's an S2000 and an AE86. I used the calculator and they drove well and started with sway bars set at 7 and a negative camber of 3 front and back. I was still losing the back end occasionally (we don't use TCS) but increased the negative camber on both to 4 and they were much more stable and predictable. After further research I've discovered that in the real world a typical setting to start from for a lightweight FR would be around -3.5 on the front and -2.5 on the back which now seems obvious but I've yet to test this set up. Anyway, point being that it might be useful to have a separate basic camber/ARB setting advice for FR/MR/FF cars to compliment the accurate suspension and gearing tunings.
Just need to work on my driving skills now. Don't suppose you have an excel spreadsheet to help me with that?
Keep up the good work

Hmm, is there something a bit weird with the lever ratio for Nissan's GT500 cars (the 2016, 2008, and the 1999 models)?
The v1.8 Lite and Expert versions produce different results from the same inputs.
1.8 Expert:
1.8 Lite:
Values from 1.7 as a point of comparison:
The values for the GT-R GT500 cars from 1.8 Expert and 1.7 match all the other GT500 cars. 1.8 Lite seems to be the odd one out.

thanks for the post! Glad to hear you’re making progress with it.
I will definately be including the ARBs and alignment soon, it’s somthing o have intended on doing, however to get it accurate I am still trying to work out how to calculate the roll rate in GT7. I will see what I can do over the next couple of days!
