This car is not even close to being anywhere near as good as it was in GT5, and to be honest I found it a pain to tune. The plan was to tune this car for 600pp but the Mid RPM Range Turbo Kit needed to reach this pp just delivered too much power right where I didn't need or want it so I decided to return the turbo to the shelf from whence it came and focus on a N/a version instead.

After making this decision I have the car handling almost the same as in GT5 and putting in competitive times around a plethora of the Major Circuits including Suzuka, Spa, GVS, Motegi and more. It also works well with the 3rd stage of engine tuning removed and a little transmission tweak down at 550pp.

Although I am happy to post this tune now, I do consider this a work in progress so stay tuned for updates!

Have fun and enjoy your drive!


Edit: After some feedback from @Ksquad I have tried out his recommendation of changing the rear toe angle and find that it does the trick.

The car has a pretty good handling ... i like so much this car . I have tuned the car at 600PP (with the Mid RPM Turbo) and the car handless well also in this setup
 
Is there another tune that works for the Arta NSX, I can't find one
Hi GC. I haven't done any for the GT500/JGTC NSX's yet (Weird, considering I love NSX's.), I've just been using Praiano's tunes for them for the most part and have never really got round to doing any myself. I have started playing about with the Stealth model but It's nowhere near as good as the Maestro's and also have the Loctite Mugen underway. I've just really not been playing much in the last month or so, couple of hours racing with friends at most. So I've not really been doing a whole lot of tuning lately unfortunately

Gottca. Hey thanks for reply. Just keep us posted on what u doin next. Tks
 
Any chance of doing a tune for the Nissan R390 Road Car?
There's a link for one back on page 19 of this thread. It's for 550pp but should handle some more power alright. I keep meaning to set it up for 600pp+, but haven't got round to it yet.

Hope it helps:cheers:

Another GT300 car has been given a little going over down here under the mountain. I remember the Asparadrink version well from GT5 and as I recall it was only ever second place to the Garaiya on the twisty bits. This version should give it a run for it's money and should leave it for dead on the straights!
And no the number is no coincidence, this thing is a fighter with superb cornering ability and will always give as good as it gets, so there was only ever one number I could put on it's Racing Plates!
We here under the mountain remember the mighty Marco Simoncelli #58, Requiescat in pace!
Great tune. Quick and so easy to drive. Need more power!! Thanks guys, made it easier to fine tune my settings. Keep up the good work
 
If it fits in 550-600 range. I use racing tires, but MR P says they don't work on some cars, so I use what works best.

Tks THORIN
No probs. Yeah, I know the majority opinion about Racing tyres on road cars and it certainly can pose some problems with excess grip on some cars.

But for me, every problem has a solution. You just need to look harder to find some of them.

The best of the M3s in my opinion. A pleasure to drive and quick as all giddy-up. This car was tuned at Nurburgring GP F and then further refined back at the old stomping grounds.

Edit: Toe angles and Brake balance changed 21/03/2014
thanks for the tune bout to try it out. although i already have made some slight tweeks based on tunes done with other similar power cars will post results soon.

your gear ratio is impossible to match i cannot get the same ratio numbers you have shared using your instructions

Sorry, some of the ratios have been messed up a bit since the 1.09 update. I'll redo the transmission tomorrow and update it asap.

Thanks for the heads-up:cheers:

i did mean to get back to you about the ratio numbers, i found if you get the ratio as close as you can for the first gear that dosent match then add the difference between the original setting and what can be achieved then add that amount into each following gear. everything else stay the same and i found if u take the final gear all the way across to the right which is 5.000 or 5.500 ( i tuned so many cars yesterday my head still hurts) that you can achieve much closer numbers to the original then also do not set the auto top speed guide just adjust your final gear makes the car perform much better
 
THORIN anything in your tunning garage for MAZDA RX7 LM Race Car?
Not at the moment, sorry. I've had computer issues (laptop fried) so I've not posted any tunes in ages, it's too much of a pain to post them with my phone. Hopefully I'll get a new one soon and I can get back to posting. I'll add this car to my todo list in the meantime and give it a shot. With any luck it shouldn't be too long.
 
lol... sorry, the FTO super touring car 97 I didn't see center differential split #s, thx
Yeah, sorry about that! I've been terrible for that, keep forgetting to put that info on my 4WDs. :banghead:

Off-hand I'm not too sure but I'll get to my PS3 shortly check check for you.:cheers:

The Torque Diff is set at 30:70. However, I run this anywhere from 50:50 to 10:90 depending on the circuit.

Updated the post too.
 
Do you able to tune a 500PP RUF BTR '86 to match any
Honda S2000 also with same PP (sport hard tires ) for
medium track like Big Willow? Hope there is a
tuner know how to tune this BTR drive like a FR! Lol.
ABS 1 only or off.
