@Ridox2JZGTE Your Countach JGTC replica has ABS on, right? Is because from 1999, JAF has restricted the use of ABS and the JGTC/Super GT cars built in 1999 and after have all assists off. They have no ABS, no TCS and neither no ASM.

Having ABS or not is driver discretion in GT6, I never enforce it on my replicas. If you want to use it, it's up to you. I never use it. And here's a fact, not a single Countach ever has ABS. Even the early years of Diablo has no ABS ( not offered ), until 1995 when Lamborghini fitted Kelsey-Hayes ABS unit on the Diablo.

As far as I know, driving assist like ABS was not used ever since early 90's of Gr A Touring Car in Japan. The R32 GTR Gr A didn't have ABS. I saw some of Tsuchiya-san races back in 1991 and 1992 STP Taisan R32 GTR Gr A, and he locked the wheels when braking on several occasions :P
JGTC started in 1993 after the demise of Gr A class touring cars, and JAF never allows any aids on the race cars in the JGTC. I have watched many race videos from 1995 to early 2000 JGTC, and there's often a car that locked it's wheels in the race.

What source did you have stating the 1999 JAF restriction/banning of ABS ?

I can't wait for the NOMAD Lamborghini GT1 tunes. That's one car I don't drive nearly enough, but I just haven't been able to find a setup I like. :eek: :(
Click to expand...

I will post it on the next play :) It will have 620PS/1220kg 1997 JGTC spec running through to 2000, in 2001 JLOC updated the car and rename it JGT-1 with official power at 550PS through to 2003 on 1150kg weight. To reach Motegi lap record, it will need 620PS/high aero on SS tire, but on RH it will need only 550PS :P
While at Suzuka on SS, 550PS and low aero is more than enough. The JLOC Diablo GT-1 has long wheelbase and wide track width, which brings unique handling unlike other JGTC cars. It's a point and shoot car which needs to fully utilize the width of the road for cornering and tremendous torque best used with high rev range corner exit.

Being standard car also somewhat hurts it's grip even with max aero.

Another victory for Nicks Forza Dino 👍 Nice one @danbojte :) Not strictly a Hot Hatch though, you should be ashamed of yourself :embarrassed: Using those poorly constructed loop holes to gain an advantage over all those poor rabbits stuck in FF hell :lol:

Only kidding :P I may just have to copy you on this one. Any chance to get back behind that wheel is always welcomed. It's such a great car, made better by the hands ( and feet :D) of the master. :bowdown:

The Dino is a hatch back :eek:. Must be fun on the tight corner exit :D Don't think those FF hatches will pose any threat, unless they start to get angry and bump you from the side and rear.

Thanks for the kind words.

May I suggest to lower front ARB to 4, so it will have 4/5 ARB. I have found on 1.16 physics update, the ARB now works much more responsive than before to manage side weight transfer.

Just try it yourself. You'll be surprised, here and there, by the AI behavior in this challenge. ;)

Edit: If it isn't a sedan (berlina) or an break (wagon), then it is a hatchback. :D ;)

I certainly shall. After I've tried it as is first. (Always good to get a comparison 👍 ) I'm sure it'll bring big smiles either way :D
 
When I get on my console I'm going to be buying another Ferrari Dino. I'll be keeping my first Dino setup as the Nicks Forza Replica, of course, but I also want to try something different with the car. I'll be using the Nicks Forza suspension and stuff, but I'll be changing the power. I know that increasing the power substantially might necessitate suspension and/or LSD changes, but i'll cross that road when I come to it.

Oh, do any of you guys know of a good Replica tune for the Mazda Èfini RX-7 Type R (FD) (1991)? Unfortunately, my main man Ridox doesn't have anything and I've wanted a 90's era RX-7 (premium not standard) so I just bought one late last night. It drives terribly straight from the dealership... Ugh, it needs a good tune but I don't want to apply a typical tune from the more famous tuners here on GT6. Their tunes tend to be awesome from the sense that the cars drive remarkably easy and still very fast, but they lose the basic soul of the car(s) most of the time. I'm sure you guys feel the same way which is why you hang out in this Replica garage. So, anyone have a tune they're willing to share? Even if you made it yourself, I'd love to try it! :D

Notes :

The Masaki RX7 is one of the unique built Wangan replica, I wanted something different with this RX7. The 91 year model in GT6 seems to be different than the Spirit R in handling. I have used a rare Aragosta 12 Stage Damper with spring rate that is unique for the street. The balance is aimed at good entry with some sideway flair on exit when needed. I kept the stock 5 speed as it's capable to hit 300kmh, while flat floor is not utilized in this version, which makes 450PS more than enough to reach top speed/red line on top gear.

Tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Willow Springs, SSR5 and SSR7.

Any input is welcomed for visual parts ( wheel color, rear wing type, paint etc ) and feedback on the handling :)

Try it with stock power instead, and see how it goes :)
 
@Ridox2JZGTE Wonderful, my friend!! I just pulled up Page 1 of this thread to see how I could have possibly missed that tune in the list. I did a CTRL-F to bring up the search box. Then I put in 'RX-7' and 0 results came up. So then I tried 'RX7' and 10 results were found. I went through them one by one but I think I stopped on #9 which is also in the Wangan Midnight Replica section. Thanks Ridox. I'm off to build the car. I will be back to tell you what I thought of it.
 
Well, the verdict is in on the Wangan Midnight Masaki RX7 Replica and it's not good news. :( I took my bright Yellow RX7 on to Apricot Hill, as that's the track I was driving the stock from dealership car last night. My first several laps were with CS tires, which really should be fine, but they were not. Firstly, it almost feels like this car just has too much power for its chassis. It's not exactly the lightest car at almost 1300kg, but it feels a lot less when those tires just spin and spin and spin.

Again, the power is only 444hp and 335 lb/ft of torque so you wouldn't think that would be totally overwhelming, but it just is for this chassis. 1st gear is basically useless. You can give it 25% or 33% throttle when taking off and if you aren't on a decline those tires are going to get roasted. If you switch into 2nd gear and floor it, be prepared for the tires to start spinning as well, although this time you may get spun completely around. If the throttle/power issues were the only problem it wouldn't bother me as much as I am bothered by this car. And that is because this isn't the only issue - far from it.

This RX7 doesn't handle particularly well either. With a 48:52 weight distribution you would think that the car would feel more balanced than this one does. When I'm taking sweeping turns and I know something is fast approaching, or I'm going through a series of twisty turns and undulating tarmac, having to stay focus on my throttle control is one thing but not being confident in how my car is going to handle through said turns is just too much. This is a car that wants it's back end to come out and say "Hello!" and there is no way around it. Unfortunately, I found myself completely spinning out far too often. I know I'm just an average driver, but I pretty much know what I'm doing out there. Hey, at least you don't have to worry about understeer!! :sly: :lol: :P

I can't even really critique the brakes of the efini RX7 Type R (FD) because I spend so much time counter-steering when my car would start getting out of control. Letting off the gas was often the only way I could get this bucking bronco under control.

Applying SH tires, which is what it comes with, helped with a LOT of the issues, or I should say that it helped tone down a lot of the issues quite a lot. Now don't just take my word for it. Try this car yourself and tell me what you think! I'm going to lower the power a bit later on and see how she drives.

@ALB123 It is a Wangan car, my friend, don't be disappointed. :) 👍
I'm sure @Ridox2JZGTE will come with detailed explanation. :cheers:

Yes, I expect that Wangan cars are supposed to be wild beasts on the pavement. Personally, I found this particular one to be much too wild for my own tastes. But, I don't discourage others from building their own, especially if they enjoy that sort of thing.

I'm so surprised that the Lamborghini's we just built from this garage, and I'm speaking mainly about the RWD models based on the GT 6.0 car, aren't more wild than this RX7. Those Lambos all drive so much smoother and nicer, which would probably be surprising to the average rider.

I did said to try it with stock power first :nervous:, as I 'm aware of the car has wild side ( lots of torque and narrow tires ) The easiest way to reduce it is as you had done, fit SH tire and above. To alter the way the engine deliver power, you can remove the engine tuning stage 3, and use high RPM turbo instead. This will reduce low traction issue on low engine speed with less torque generated. Flat floor is a last resort :) I haven't driven the car again since 1.16 update, so I may need to drive it again.

I will definitely be trying it with the lesser powered setup. Driving on SH tires reduced most of my issues. I have gotten so used to driving CM and CS tires on many of my Replica setups that I always try those tires first. In this case I went with CS thank god. If I struggled this much on CS, I think I would have had a LOT more problems on CM.

I did recommend that people still try this car. I would NEVER suggest people stay away from one of your tunes. Just because I struggle with or dislike a particular car means absolutely nothing. It could be my lack of skill that is giving me problems with this particular car. It could be a variety of things. I almost just didn't write anything about the Wangan Midnight RX7. First off, I am certainly not trying to insult your hard work putting together these replica builds. I would never do that. Will I 100% love every car? Not likely. I actually appreciate the fact that I struggled so much with this car. I'm certain that there probably are many cars on this planet that would give me terrible fits...This RX7 is probably just one of them.

Hopefully, one of the other regular visitors to this garage builds one of these RX7's one of these days. I'd love to hear their thoughts as well.

Masaki's RX7 - G27 - Kaza's review

I finally got around to doing this now...

SSR5 Test: I blasted around here really fast, it was unstable at first with a bit of oversteer, but I got used to it and hit a 1:00:XXX on Clubman circuit! (My MCR on SH can get a 0:59:XX so quite impressive!)

SSR7 Test: As with the SSR5 test, a bit of overteer in the corners. On the straightaway I maxed out at 190-ish which was a slight problem.

Overall: I like this tune! It's fun to use and I drifted it a bit on SSR5 (It's easy to drift with too) :D
Click to expand...

This review too 👍
 
Yeah, I'd definitely say that the Wangan Midnight RX7 is well suited for drifting! :D

EDIT: I also drove the car at 450PP with SH tires. It is a COMPLETELY different car! :eek: :confused: :lol: Seriously...It is absolutely nothing like the 510PP build. Granted, I was on SH tires, but still...I was pleasantly surprised. 👍
