But yeah, maybe in future I'll do bit more laps on stock and really see if I get even close! Insanely fast lap mate, but you're an insanely fast man anyway
Yeah, it really looked like it's gonna take me whole two weeks to maybe gold it on stock carI did 1:32.935 after 8-10 laps with the DS3. Stock car, no oil change.
There's not much room for mistakes, that's for sure

Ok guys what's up with this DS thing?? I mean I tried to drive with pad on FGT TT and it was just damn horrible, frankly can't see any reason to do a single lap with pad, if you have a wheel!?!?
So if I just may ask you guys, what in the name of all that is holy makes you do it?
And yeah, if it's your own business, never mind this question

127.667 so far but another 2/10 to find with my current tune. Noticed the taco on the top guys replays and looks like they are running with the racing exhaust. Gives me 2-3 extra km/h on the front straight compared to the Manifold & Cat converter I was running previously.

Then stop braking and turning... get your braking done in a straight line. If you're getting understeer it's because you're trying to carry too much speed in to the corners... not every car has slick tyres and loads of downforce.

I don't have a permanent set up... I have a G27 & wheelstand pro tucked away in the corner of my living room, and I have to set this up and move a couch to play. So I CBA'd to set up the wheel if I just want a quick 30 mins.
Typically, with new Seasonals, I get home on the Thursday night and I run through the 4 events with the DS3 (both TT's and both drift trials) in an hour or so... then I'll wait until I have a couple of hours of proper free time before sitting down with the wheel.
Last night I saw some people were running the stock car and saying it might not make gold... I like a challenge so thought I'd run a few laps during half time in the footy to see what it was like. The stock NISMO GT-R is not bad with the pad 👍

My fast lap in letters;
(DS3)
Start/finish straight:
• carry as much as possible speed from the right hander be4 the straight line, on braking it should be 315+!
First braking point:
• Brake hard at the first sign (150m I think), while breaking, hard shift down to 2nd gear! Ideal should be breaking and tight enter the right hander!
Two chicanes (left/right)
• When you master the first right hander stay on right side of the track and aim the left apex, enter it with touching hand brake, your car will oversteer bit, this will give you enoguht momentum to enter the left hander nice and smooth, while exiting it, shift to thirt and stay on the right hand side of the track, taking as much as possible of the cerb, having"straight"line to next two right hander! (Shift up Max till gear 4)
Two right hander:
• conning from the previous right hander, heaving "straight"line to the first right hander, brake on the black mark on the track. Here you have two options how to enter the right hander;
1. While breaking hard, shifting to 2nd gear, turn the steering to right, so the car will slide a bit and so you can approach the apex perfectly!
2. Whole breaking be4 turning, apply the hand brake, just a touch so the car slides to optimal angle to hit the peek of the apex!
NOTE:
On booth options, hit the apex on the cerb, as hard as possible!!
Exiting the right hander, stay on the left hand side, catch bit the cerb, carying the momentum and speed to next right hander, shift to 3rd, hard turn for the second right hander, catch the cerb as much as possible, in the middle of the apex, shift to 4th, to Cary the momentum and preventing the car to slide to much!
Long left hander plus tight righ hander;
• Comming from the previous right hander, 4th gear, position the car on the middle if the track, hard breaking to 2nd gear, here goes the same techniques as for the two corners at the begging of this TT, while hard breaking, shifting down, turn left, the car will slide, keep the car on the left inner cerb, or, hard breaking, apply hand brake and anger the left hander as tight ass possible! (Exiting this one shifting from 2nd to 3rd!!)
Exiting this one, keep your car on the left side of the the track, shift down to 2nd while turning, the car will slide here, then menage the car via throttle for entering it perfectly, hitting the right cerb nice, will give much speed on the exit!! Right when you exit this one, let your car on the left hand side of the track, hitting the left cerb, try to shift early to 3rd!!
• Final left-right-left-right;
• Here you can loose everything or Win allot of time.
Coming from the previous right hander, carry as much as possible speed to this complex chicanes. Hard brake right on the shadow mark on the track, or bit earlier (depend how much you speed have), positioning the car to the right side of the track, hard shifting to second gear, hitting nice the left apex, try to Cary as much as possible the iner cerb, (you can apply hand brake a bit or not, depends on your entry).
Position the car on the middle if the track, had brake and shift to 1st gear, hit the iner cerb and control the maximum speed via throttle, hard short full acceleration to next left tight hander, car is in the middle of the trac, hit the left apex, tight, smooth, after hitting the throttle for exiting this one, shift to second gear, preventing wheel spin, hiring nicely the cerb on the right side, shirt shift to 3rd gear, Comming to"final"right hander, which you enter, hard brake, shift to 2nd, and turn the car nicely to the right hander. Take iner cerb, exiting nice with shifting to third gear, taking as much as possible speed to the long two"right handers".
Final two right handers;
• exiting the last right handers take, let the car on the left hand side and nicely and gentle tut it to the firs"light"right hander, and in the middle of this one, shift to 5th gear, let the car slide to outside the track keeping the momentum and speed for the finish right bend!
Keep the car on the left side, you'll c a white line on your side, when the white line finishes then you turn (5th gear no breaking, full throttle):
•Hard-from above turn the car to inner right side of the track.
• in the middle of this one, let the car slowly to the right side if the track, keeping the speed and momentum af the situation, while exiting let the 5the gear squezes everything to 8.000rpm, then shift up to 6th and full throttle to finish line!!
I hope this little tutorial will help other who struggles on the track! I did .28.6, which is a solid time and I think I can help bit others!
Keep racing and less sliding more grip driving, that's important here!!

Like Stotty, I don't have a permanent set up, plus I'm rather lazy
. I played GT1-GT4, Tourist Trophy and most of GT5P with a DS, so I'm quite used to driving with the DS Nowadays I use my wheel only when I want to find out how fast I'm in a TT.

I know what you mean with what you say about the tires. I have seen lot of time trials where I wished I could have used other tires. Especially when SH was the used tire but I wanted something softer like SM or SS. But in this case, yeah its a heavy car and it might slide in some situations but I felt it mostly depends on the style you drive it. The amount of grip on soft sports tires is quite good but not too perfect which is authentic for what it is, a roadcar
I think it is a matter of personal taste but if I could choose racing tires were for race cars only and sport tires for roadcars only^^ I like the competition not to be too easy because of sticky tires. So if others have issues with sliding this is fine with me 
thats the way we all have to work for our top times, gaining bit for bit until we reach our personal limits. And even if most of you guys end up with faster times, this is the way I enjoy time trials most. The LFA time trial last week, that was what I call sliding^^ it felt like driving a piece of butter in the sun.

thought i would post a tune,it has been awhile.......got gold first lap,so this is for the average Jo like me that just wants a gold,it handles pretty good....
600pp..669 bhp..1588 kg..50:50 weight
stg 3 weight + bonnet.....ballast 200 kg @ 15 yes i know heavy,but will do for now.
power..semi race exh..cat conv..intake..power @ 99.1% no oil
drivetrain..trip clutch..carbon shaft..torque splitter @ 50:50...lsd..F.6/40/20..R.6/50/20
tranny......FG 4000.Top min....1st 3460 2nd 2763 3rd 2207 4th 1781 5th 1443 6th 1176 FG 2800
susp...80/85..13.65/7.80..5/4..4/5..7/7..0/0..-0.15/-0.15
brakes race..balance 5/5
this base tune got me a 1:30.1xx ds3 AT sens 6 and abs 1, nothing else, so manual will go faster....well i hope that some of you like it,i will play around with it later if i ever get time and enjoy, and no it will not get you a top 10 or a 100 
Edit: Wow shocked myself and got a 1:28.832 and inside a top 200 (for now)been a while,yes i put the Nismo on a diet...hope my mate @joeledward gives my tune a bash 
.....it is a bit more slippery without the weight....might try some other tunes down the road 👍

Firstly, what a really brilliant car this is. Managed a 1:32.771 fully stock. Gonna see how close to a 1:32 I can get over the weekend. I love it when pd set a very difficult but possible gold time for a stock car. Enjoying the track again also 👍

I don't know if the car is just tuned to my driving style, but I made a tune and actually got about 0.5 seconds faster than using any tunes posted.
Suspension: 90 60
13.65 6.88
4 4
4 4
7 7
No camber or toe
Brakes: 6 7
LSD: 5 10
5 20
5 5
Torque split: 50 50
No added ballast and using shaun's transmission.
The car is fairly loose.
I don't know if this tune will be fast for everyone but it was fast for me. Ran a 1:29.962 using only ABS 1 and a controller.

I'm finding you can drive around most of the tune differences with this car.
Maybe it's something to do with all the electronics that the GTR uses but I doubt PD has got that bit, that accurate!!
Got into the 27s using the no ballast tip but still leaving more than a few tenths out there.
Well done [USER=2869]@eclipsee[/USER] on your time, mind boggling
I'd love to use that tune

I like grip racing, attackin the apex, hard braking while turning Etc, now, with this car it's impossible!!
I'm just saying that the car is just sliding on this tires and it would be great when the tyres were different then we would be experiencing full potential of the car...now it's just brake in straight line, turn easy watch exit of the corner, boring.
That's just my opinion, so, no offense to others who have different opinion!

"I like grip racing, attackin the apex, hard braking while turning Eric now, with this car it's impossible!!"
I like that too, but mostly with race cars. In this case I enjoy the GT-R being a roadcar and gran turismo being a simulation. I have been on track with different cars in reallife and experienced so much fun to find the spot between under and oversteer. Without these factors and the car just sticking to the tarmac...I think it would be boring for me. In gt and in reallife. So what you said is a point some are happy and some are unhappy about funny thing, isnt it? And by the way, even with sliding you are faster than me good job

Nowadays I use my wheel only when I want to find out how fast I'm in a TT.
My "permanent setup" is a driving force pro attached to my living room coffee table and it's pretty much the center of my flat
of course I toss it under the table when I have company, but that damn wheel is basically making a mess out of my little living room, damn wires and 🤬 going everywhere, I even use headphones (with wire ) every now and then so you guys probably can make out what my apartment looks like easiness of using DS is wery tempting, but really have lost the way years a go...This seems actually really nice track, other variations of this track haven't been that tempting. Event seems like rather popular too.

That's washy I'm saying that's only my opinion bit the opinion of the majority here.
I mean, over 600bhp on those tyres is just ridiculous to me, but ok, f%#k it, this is gran Turismo right?
My sliding is a controlled one, for better entry speed and more precise turning in some corners.
Ich weiß nicht was für eine Zeit du gefahren hast, aber wenn du Probleme hast Check mein da oben post wie ich die Strecke sehe und hast auch ein par Tricks wie und wo du schneller sein kannst
