Skyline GT-R V-Spec(R33) '97 525pp (SH-SS) - here
That's what I thought, gonna have to fix that understeer mid-corner to exit@Bowtie-muscle
Tsukuba
Stock (525pp): 1:00.176
Tuned (525pp): 0:59.987
The first thing that struck me was how much better the brakes felt over the standard version, slowed the car much more efficiently without causing any drama. The car felt extremely pointy and eager to turn in initially but developed a fair bit of understeer on the exit to most corners. Overall it felt far more stable and easier to predict but needed to be driven carefully in order to avoid running wide on exit.
Brands Hatch Indy
Stock (525pp): 0:50.668
Tuned (525pp): 0:49.991
The added stability really helped here, the car felt much more at home on this circuit. I was faster in the looser, stock version of the car through the first corner due to the rotation being less inhibited but the tuned version was faster and easier to push with everywhere else.
Mount Panorama
Stock (525pp): 2:18.838
Tuned (525pp): 2:17.129
Again the stability was most welcome and the usability of the brakes was also appreciated. Had to be careful with entry speed, if you went in too hot then there was no chance of getting it back on line. The understeer was ever present but manageable, easy car to control but it just resists being pushed too much for my tastes.
Overall, easy to drive but hard to drive fast![]()
Sports HardThat's what I thought, gonna have to fix that understeer mid-corner to exit, really appreciate the feedback:tup:.
Think I know what the issue is, see if I can figure it out before I post the 500pp tune. Thank you my friend.
What tires were you running on?
The Skyline GT-R V-Spec seems to be the car of choice so far, so I would suggest one challenge of your choice and have everyone who tunes that car give it a shot with their own tune and see how it flies. Up to you though, wet weather and no ABS should be fun again, but I digress.Hello fellow members, I was thinking of doing this one, even bought one but I just don't see when I can find the time to do it, so I'll pass for this month. If I can find the time later on I will try to review the cars but I really want to finish a few projects I have going before. This is just an idea, if you agree and want to, we could do one of the past "Bowtie Games" challenges and all compete in it, sort of a mini championship, depending on which one we take the power advantage of some might melt like ice in Brazil. Like I said it's just an idea.![]()

This is the best I could get out of the car. For this final tune I ad weight to get the Weight Distribution 50:50. This also bring power to the car 457 Hp. I have the tune tested on Tsukuba Circuit, Special Stage Route 5, Brands Hatch GP, Suzuka Circuit 2014 and Apricot Hill Raceway and for 500PP the results doesn't match with the greatest 500PP car as Miura RX500 and so on....... also the Skyline GT-R V-spec (33) '97 seems faster (Now I”m gonna do this one for next week).

Thank you very much for testing and reviewing the car and I'm glad you enjoyed itA quick review: @DolHaus Skyline V-spec '97
I have come to learn that Dolhaus and I have different driving and tuning styles, I think I tend to adapt more to his, than him to mine but that is not a knock or a shot at him. My tunes tend to be more tight and stable, his more loose and on the edge of wild, and yet awesomely fun at the same time. I found this tune to be no different and just as much fun as his GTO from a FITT Challenge (the rare 10DC that a have given out). They tend to cause me to change my driving style, and after his review of my tune, I went back and updated mine. How would they compare? Well, I last ran mine on SS tires in the Seasonal at Apricot Hill, so the trans was a touch long. His had a 6 speed non-adjustable trans. Acceleration = DolHaus! Track, Autumn Ring, where I like to test most of my 4wd tunes. From the first turn I could tell that I liked my brakes better, but wow did his turn just that little bit better. This also showed up leading to and through the loop. Rotation = DolHaus! Exit seemed equal and if entry was too hot, I could slide the front end more on his but both could be over driven. Entry = draw. The only real criticism I would have for this tune would be the downhill right hander, if you were not careful, the rear could step out on exit, but not enough to hurt the tune. Overall = Dolhaus!
Conclusion:
Looking for a fun 500pp tune on SH tires, be prepared to smile and giggle. This tune will more than satisfy, even if you like your tunes a little more stable. This was is just a tick, the smallest amount looser but in a confidence building way. Yes, I have to admit, better than mine. My best time in a short session with gearing too long, 1:25.742. My best time in his tune, only 3 laps!!!....1:24.317. Take it out for a joy ride, you will not regret it.![]()

so I'll tune the spec (R33) on diet. And see if I could get better setup. đź‘ŤI had no idea what to expect other than turn 1 could be fun or a nightmare. No problems, so nightmare avoided. I found the extra weight to not really hurt the car too much and the extra horsepower did not hurt either.................. The extra weight could cause entry difficulties but slightly earlier braking fixed it..................... I found the grip level more than satisfying and the tune to be a fun ride. This leaves me to wonder how well your tunes would be if you gave that baby a diet?
