~Japanese Auto Celebration Shootout~

[tris_73]

Sorry Ryan (and everyone else). I'm going to have to scratch my entry from the 490PP field. I just can't get the car I chose to be good enough to what I would like to post, and I've run out of time due to work commitments.

If anyone was curious, I was looking at a Legacy Touring Wagon 3.0R '03. Got to 1:03 and 2:21 on the tracks, but the understeer was killing me.

Mate whack it on share, let's have a look at it, maybe I can help you out? you on psn now?....... FYI those times arn't that bad considering your driving my mums car

 

[Hermanvongerman]

550PP GreenMachine WRX STI WAGON

Hopefully this will blow a few testers cobwebs out.....

I contemplated entering a GT-R of some description (got a 12' model to run a 55.xxx at tsukuba), then tried an RX-8, which was also very good, and then circled all the way back to my wagon, and was like screw this!! you guys are gonna wear the WAGON from hell;

Testers, take note and this is straight from the legend Colin Mcraes mouth , "If in doubt flatout" just remember that, if this little devil gets loose at low speed, plant your boot and chop up gears!!!!

Tuned with DS3 and DFGT, use the same exact tune for both tracks my methodology does not involve messing with my gear ratio settings, ABS set to 1

Reference times with me driving were very good in my eyes, I know she won't win based on times, however interested to see what you testers can do.

If anyone manages to get her to run 56.xxx I will give you a little surprise (evidence will be required)👍

 

[krenkme]

A truck, and now a WAGON? What are you trying to do to the testers

The Bread Van is a very good, flexible and fast machine, you don't know?

Love to, but I'm working right now, plus I'm 4hrs into a 24hr endurance race (hoping to finish it sometime next week )

;lol: well I do now

It's actually not too far off the pace of the coupe or sedan. Such a sweet chassis on the GF Impreza's.

My GT86 is basically done, as my NSX. Just the Kia to finish off this week and that'll be my entries finished.

But for now, I go back to Skyrim. The Nords need me.

Well, it's the same chassis underneath right? So it wouldn't effect the car's handling unless the body on top was as tall as a tower block. And the versions that came after it drove well too, it's just the styling that turned everyone away with their heads in the toilet, vomiting.

So…slidey banana or grip and go track car for the GT86? Oh, so the NSX now off to slaughter us now, eh? I'm glad I didn't enter in the 550PP class. Hatchback or Sedan version? Or rather, Kia Cee'd or Kia…whatever the Sedan version of the Cee'd is.

So that's where you disappeared off to…tell me, have you found your new home in a "SkyrimPlanet" yet?

 

[ryangt]

ok well now everything is updated

 

[ryangt]

Yeah i cant get it spot on 490pp. I'm not going for 1st place (I'm not good enough at tuning yet), I just like to take part

Its why i have the engine limiting of -5% and ballast of 5% (or what ever i put XD) so you could go over and just detune it a little bit to get to 490, but since you have posted and put it on share i cant allow you to change now ><

Sort of. It's just a longer sedan chassis with a box on the back with the same running gear underneath.

A bit of column A, a bit of column B. And it's the hatchback, dubbed Kia from the Block.

Hell no. Skyrim is a great game but I don't want anything to do with its fanboys.

 

[XDesperado67]

Agree with you completely Roj, love Skyrim but ES fanboys scare me...badly!

On a more relevant subject my "DWD Phase I-II-III" are coming along nicely.

Oh, so the NSX now off to slaughter us now, eh? I'm glad I didn't enter in the 550PP class. :

As VTroj said, it is actually the exact same chassis as the sedan, however they added the bubble piece to the bootlid to make it a wagon, due to that addition though it gave the actual frame better balance to the rear of the car than the sedan.

NSX slaughter??!!?!?..... pffft!!!! get with the program.......

I cannot see any NSX take out honors at Tsukuba in 550pp (even a GT500 NSX @ 550pp with race hards would struggle to keep up with 12' GT-R round there), that is simply not going to happen....

Suzuka, I am looking forward to seeing what you guys can get it to do, but in all honesty I can't see it lapping faster than a 12' GT-R or well tuned Lexus LFA....
pending driver of course, gotta remember it's all about drivability...

making the ride easy to get fast laps, not 1 hour hot lapping for one good time.

You're going to have to break the car in more its still gaining power like Motor's 86 was.

 

[Snake55wildcat]

I sincerely apologize guys, I wont be able to make any tunes for this competition, college and other things have burdened me all month when I least expected it to (talk about horrible timing ), shame as I was genuinely looking forward to this challenge, and with that i wish the best of luck to everyone else participating!

Bloody motors!! lol. think its all sorted now. just ran it to 201 miles.......much to the annoyance of my missus who wasnt expecting to watch a car running round in circles at 11 o'clock at night.

I had similar issues too recently, I found the best way is once you've found the car you want to tune, get B-spec Bob to run her on an enduro for a few hours, problem solved.....

I'll be savagely disappointed if we don't see it in future updates. Would have made an ideal 550PP entry for this shootout

I would also buy one in reality if they goto production with it.... a seriously cool car... considering the normal "Juke" is a piece of 🤬......

Really do hope that due to their relationship with Nissan that PD get this car in game if not soonish maybe GT6 in 4 years? oh sorry 6 years.... I'll play this till then though....

For those that aren't as enamoured by the looks of the Juke GT-R, there's a Nismo version that is a little easier on the eye and ear. I'd like to see both in the game.

As for a regular Juke, not sure I'd fancy one, they seem to be primarily driven by old folks, over here...

{Cy}

 

[sheephead99]

Yea Nismo are building a model that will produce about 1000 units. I hate the juke. It's a cheap, poorly designed and rushed during manufacturing to meet targets just like the qashqai/daulis.
