[Ridox2JZGTE]

Looks like I need to run what I am now calling "The Ridox Replica Lap" again for the base 370Z and the TT-RS. It seems that I might have run the initial lap time with stock TC set to 5. Also, @Ridox2JZGTE, the 1M front spring rate is not possible to reach in GT6, so just set to lowest value. It took basically the perfect lap, but the 1M is quicker than the Z4M around Willow.

When you set the 1M to lowest rate at the front, be sure to use the spring ratio ( multiply it by 3.3847 ) for the the rear rate With the TT-RS you can also use stock LSD or set them all to 5 ( lowest ), see how the car handling changed

I've been driving the TTS getting ready for saturday and I have to tell you I love this car 👍, I've changed the BB a bit to match my style of driving and it's a great car on the Nurb.. Hopefully I'll be able to try the Nismo next week, I just hope I made the right pick , went for looks, not the most scientific way of doing things but who knows maybe everyone will go play in the sand box and I'll be able to coast to victory .

Thank you, the TTRS is great at Nurburgring when I tested it online. There are few ways to loosen the car up if you wish to by using the optional alignment and LSD in the replica

Wait...what? You're going to have to explain that.

I mean that the Traction Control was left to the default setting. I did a 22:8xx at willow offline. I need to run it online in a lobby to try to make it the same as the seasonal track settings and replicate the physics of it.

Can't for the race, the LSD was fixed by @danbojte to:
LSD 1.5 Way WaveTrac High Lock Track LSD - BASE
Front
Initial Torque : 40
Acceleration Sensitivity: 60
Braking Sensitivity: 12
unless that has been changed I'll keep it this way, if we can use the others then for sure I'll try them, if not I'll try them after the race .

The spring ratio of the OEM springs front to back if can be replicated should be used.

FRONT:
OE rate: 26 N/mm (148.4574 lbs/in) 2.6519 kg/mm

REAR:
OE rate: 88 N/mm (502.4712 lbs/in) 8.9759 kg/mm

That would be 3.3847 ratio rear/front. So if you can set 3kg/mm front rate, use 10.154kg/mm rear. That how I set the E92 M3 replica

The online physics are the same with offline, the only difference only when running with tire wear/fuel consumption on. I have been testing my offline tuned replica online and the handling are very similar, but grip level is different due to the fuel/tire wear and cold/hot temp changes of the tires. I'm about 0.5s to 0.8s slower online ( tire wear very fast ) at Tsukuba with the NSX-R replica on same setup offline ( exact same handling, but slightly lower grip on same CS tire ) Running hot laps with low fuel will bring the time gap closer.

Thanks 👍 but for testing and racing purposes I'll stay with the posted specs , that way we'll be able to compare how everything works with the selected parts, I'm thinking of putting a few hundred cans of beer on the side of the track, that should take care of 1 or 2 drivers, my pit crew will take care of a few more , and for the rest maybe we'll be lucky and it will rain , maybe you remember that I did get a bit of practice in those conditions . If all that fails I'll just deny that I was ever there and that someone past himself as me .

@TurnLeft Wow, that's a crew!
The Event Settings was updated several times since then. You should check back there more often.
You can use any LSD or alignment, but must be from the original tune sheet.

That would be 3.3847 ratio rear/front. So if you can set 3kg/mm front rate, use 10.154kg/mm rear. That how I set the E92 M3 replica

Oh...I got it now!

We will see. Im going to do a test tonight with the TT-RS to find out exactly.

That sounds like something I need mess with once the serious timing is done.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Just had short play session, tweaking the Tuscan, V8S and Cerbera Speed 12 The Cerbera Speed 12 uses similar spring rate setup as real life TVR race cars ( Griffith and Tuscan ), weight uses heaviest running figure at over 1100kg to achieve weight distribution claimed by TVR at about 50/50. The Harrop LSD is replicated with some tweaks while 6 speed gearbox is left stock for now. Tire is CS - Goodyear Eagle F1 Fiorano ( not sure if too grippy ). Alignment and ARB follows similar setup as the real Griiffith and Cerbera. Short test at Tsukuba, 1:01s and at Apricot Hill 1:30s. The throttle will need to be in the 60%-80% range most of the time, only full throttle when straight, which should be similar to the real car when driven on the street on road legal tires. Even on 60% throttle just after hitting apex, the acceleration on 2nd/3rd gear is almost like full throttle on usual supercars. Aero is optimized for twisty track on ride height similar to TVR Sagaris.

 

[ALB123]

Wow. I just purchased the TVR Tuscan Speed 6. This car can boogie!! It's nice and lightweight too. I'm just driving it completely stock from the Dealership, but it still drives fairly nice.

I remember the Speed 12 was so brutal & ferocious as a road car, the person responsible for giving it the green light for public sale said after driving it they couldn't release it.
Last time I drove it was a while ago but, I seem to recall it went crazy & declared war on anything rubber at around 4500rpm.
On another note, I didn't know the LSD was the work of Harrop Engineering, a Melbourne company. Ron Harrop has been one of, if not the best engineers to grace the planet. Not a bad steerer either.

 

[lilcat89]

So, after some more time in both the 370Z and the TT-RS. First, the bad news. The 370Z with the Sports Package is a disappointment when it comes to timed laps. The stopwatch hates the Z car. It feels fast, but the clock tells a very different story. It's fantastic to drive and I love driving it. Now, for the good news. The TT-RS is unbelievable! With all the other rwd coupes, you need very precise throttle control to carry the speed through corners. The TT-RS however, roll the car through the apex, then jump on the throttle and ride it out of the corner. No worrying about the tail coming around on exit, just a hit up the backside. It's just as quick as the 1M and the Z4M.

The TVR Speed 12 may have used Eaton based Harrop helical gear LSD ( TVR only stated it's Harrop ), I only set the LSD to keep the Speed 12 stable and had some control around slow exits with 60-80% throttle engine torque output. Simple initial torque tweaks and good amount of accel lock.
I tested again at Bathurst with 797HP stock power, 1145kg weight, 50.x/49.x distribution, and tuned aero ( front at max / rear just a little higher ), the car was fitted CS tire, it actually very fun to drive. Going downhill was the most fun and hitting the Conrod at 195mph. The brakes is a bit lacking IMO, braking from high speed is scarier than accelerating from 3rd gear.

370Z is a bit slow to in real world, even the NISMO often stayed behind in Best Motoring races

The Audi TT-RS ( TTS '09 ) is a real gem IMO, rarely people drive this car. It handles turns like Gallardo or R8, but with less power, it can be a lot easier to push hard.

Notes :

This is an attempt to replicate the personal car of the Drift King, Keiichi Tsuchiya.
The car was featured in Best Motoring Vtec Club Edition and raced against stock NSX-R provided by Honda ( driven by Naoki Hattori )

The car is largely stock, with only mild modification made :
Platinum White Pearl paint ( Roof and Mirror painted in same color )
Stock Engine
Fully loaded weight 1310kg ( AC/HDD SatNav/DVD )
Stock Brakes
Kei Office Coilover with Sachs Damper ( Development Model/Prototype )
Lowered from Stock : Front -30mm and Rear -25mm
Wheel/Tires : Prodrive GC06D Forged F 17x7.5J +44 / 215/45/R17, R 17x9.5J +44 / 255/40/R17
Bridgestone Potenza RE55S S tire.

The NSX-R replica has been tuned with the specs above, with weight at 1310kg, I provide 2 power specs, stock GT6 and Dyno Power. Paint can be obtained from Honda NSX Type S '01 ( Platinum White Pearl ), with the wheel uses Advan RGII in white ( the closest design available in GT6 ).

The weight distribution for base is 42/58, while I also provide 2 more, ballast position at 27 for 42.7 / 57.3 or 50 for 41/59 ( the closest it can get to 40/60 while still at 1310kg )

The Kei Office Coilover spring rate is unknown as it was custom tuned by Keiichi Tsuchiya himself, so I decided to use the closest next best thing, the DG-5 Coilover Kit specially made for the NA2 NSX. The Kei Office tuning company was sold in 2005, and Keiichi Tsuchiya formed the new company DG-5.

The DG-5 NA2 NSX Coilover Kit uses 9kg/mm front and 14kg/mm rear ( Swift Springs ), the kit was multi purpose for circuit and drift. The rate has been set, and damper/ARB has been tuned to suit the new ride height and springs. Camber has also been visually replicated with high camber, especially at the rear. The toe values uses the base from NSX-R replica.

LSD also has been set similar to stock NSX-R replica. The NSX-R when driven at the track was fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE55S ( S tire/semi slick with soft compound ) which may be closer to sports medium.

I tested and tuned the DK NSX-R at Tsukuba and Apricot Hill. I used CS tire as baseline when tuning and it has plenty of grip. At Tsukuba on 290HP, 41/59 distribution and CS tire, it's capable of low 1:04s with ease and at Apricot Hill in 1:36s. The NSX-R should drive well on CS to SM tire.

The Tsukuba lap has been provided via replay.

The wheels are listed as standard size stock or ADVAN RGII. These are only available in 1" up and above. Would you recommend the stock wheel or sizing up for the ADVANs?

Disregard last transmission wrong NSX

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

I did some lap at the Cote D Azure, curious what the Mini could do compared to the running FITT Hatchback New vs Old The tune is the same as posted 450PP online race tune for the Mini with TEIN HG Rally coilover kit setup, gear ratio also the same, nothing changed. It did 1:54.1xx with ease, and should be able to dive into 1:53s or lower Take a look at the replay, try to spot the smokes

@OdeFinn, you are tuning in the competition right ? Maybe this could be used as reference, both the tune and the lap If you can upload a video recording of the lap replay that would be great too, to show how a the Mini could be driven with virtually no smoke

It definitely is easier than the 1M. The TT-RS is so at home on tight circuits. The AWD just endows you with so much confidence to accelerate out of corners earlier. Its just so amazing! Both the TT-RS and the 1M are only tenths away from the 6sp E92 M3 at both Laguna Seca and Streets of Willow. Between the 370Z and TT-RS, I know which one I'm choosing!

Lol, doing same time without smoke with my hybrid eco-car Didn't take Mini because SH tires on old one.
For the fun here is my tuned car rolling around Nordschleife at first time ever(that's reason for several mistakes and driving slowly/carefully). noABS is only difference on competition tune.

 

[Brewguy44]

Nurburgring Nord.: 7:55.593 on 1 lap, I did drive it relatively safe on this one, didn't want to start over because I went off track, and I don't drive here much because It's too long for me to remember all the curves and how to take them.

I use to hate it, way back (can't remember which GT it was ?) but the more I drove it the more I liked it, now I love it!! I even do testing on it, Hey 6 to 8 mins is not that long!! 👍

The Audi TT & 370 are both Great Tunes

. I ran both of them today online in The Fan Club Race.
I liked the TT a little bit better, but that's just me. I am really appreciating your tunes. The way they are supposed to drive, not just Full Bore, All Out, Go as Fast as You F**ing Can

When I took out your TT on The Ring in the Club Room on Friday to get some practice. I set it up like the Race and it handled Great 👍 I couldn't believe that it drove that good with everything off. I was doing between 8 & 9 mins Laps 👍 for me that's Great!! All I can say is Thank You!!! and I am Learning alot.

I'll second that I have to say the Audi really does have some pull. Nice stable car too. other than striggling with braking too hard I had bags of fun with it, plenty of understeer to remind you where the engine is but it came out those bends like a rocket.

The 370Z was a lot more fun. And despite his plea for more Power @ALB123 still managed to run away to a 1 min+ win, so I guess it goes plenty too 👍

I am really appreciating your tunes. The way they are supposed to drive, not just Full Bore, All Out, Go as Fast as You ****in Can

Well, there is always radio. Radiolemans.com has the commentary in English for the entire race. That's always an option.

 

[ChauMing803]

Dang......and Mayweather won by decision.
After this borefest,I don't think I can stand real life boxing anymoreGo to watch Hajime no Ippo instead,at least qnime doesn't have this kind of "unanimous decision"

 

[ALB123]

I just got home from watching the "Fight of the Century" at my buddy's house. More like the snoozefest of the century. I freakin' can't stand Mayweather for a variety of reasons and the fact that he is going to make almost $200,000,000 for running away from Pacquiao, or bear-hugging Pacquiao whenever he started wailing on him makes me sick. I understand that Mayweather landed more punches, but I really would like to know how they define a "power punch" because the scorecards all had Mayweather landing considerably more Power Punches than Pacquiao and I completely disagree. At least Manny TRIED to actually bring a fight to Mayweather. He would rush him and back Mayweather into the corner and start slugging away. Unfortunately, in these weight classes the punches aren't as devastating as a heavyweight's punches would be, so Mayweather didn't go down.

I would bet my life that Manny "stunned" or "hurt" Mayweather a lot more times in this fight than the other way around. Mayweather is a master at doing what HE wants to do. He wants the fight to go the distance and he wants to play defense the entire match. When you have a 4 inch reach advantage, and you have absolutely no intention to go on the attack, it helps a lot. Mayweather has fantastic feet. A boxer with lesser footwork might have fallen from some of Pacquiao's harder punches, but Mayweather was able to dance out of the corner when he was getting pounded, or he would just tie up Pacquiao.

When you are fighting the 47-0 champion, you have to either A) knock him out, B) knock him down to the canvas and don't let him know you down, or C) you have to so overwhelmingly out punch the champion or you'll never get the victory. I would NEVER call Mayweather a "fighter". How could you? He doesn't step in that ring looking for a fight. He has a game plan and he follows that game plan extremely well. You've got to give him that. Personally, I find it extremely boring and I really think it's an enormous waste of money to pay money to watch him fight. I tried to tell my friend not to waste the money on the PPV, but his kids wanted to see it.

@Ridox2JZGTE, thanks for the acknowledgement of my victory in Race #2. To be honest, the reason I had such an easy victory is because I was able to take the lead, going from 3rd place to 1st when the two cars in front of me went into the grass just before Aremberg and then the remaining cars all got into BIG trouble at Aremberg as well. I saved the replay and watched the first lap from the perspective of @danbojte's car. Everyone knows he is a more skilled driver than I am, but he experienced some very bad luck on that first lap of Race #2.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take the victory!! But, I know damn well that if Lap 1 was removed from the equation, the outcome probably would have been much, much different. Because danbojte won the first race, he started from the rear of the pack for Race #2. If he had even a slightly better starting position, he would have avoided the kerfuffle at Aremberg and probably done what he usually does -- drive extremely fast and extremely well.

It's a real shame that you can't join us for the events danjobte has put together for the Ridox Replica Garage Fan Club, Ridox. I think everyone is having a really good time with these events - I know that I am! 👍 Every single participant is super cool and we all love the cars that you've built for us. I really wish I had a capture device so I could record and edit these races...

Oh, btw, Ridox... Any chance you would mind sharing what cars we should expect in the coming weeks?

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Glad I didn't pay to watch the fight It was not a good match to watch when one boxer kept running, ducking and clinching.

The next week I will post TVR It's already listed in the OP There are more JDM cars as well.

Yup. The fight was $100, I think, here in the United States via Pay-Per-View. I wouldn't have paid $5 for this fight. I knew that the fight would be just like it was. I said to my friend, before the fight, "Mayweather will make Manny chase him around the ring for 12 rounds. He'll throw those non-destructive jabs a lot, thanks to a 4 inch reach advantage, but he will not attack Manny at all." That's pretty much exactly what ended up happening. Manny tried to bring the fight to Mayweather and he landed way more combinations when he had Mayweather in the corner.

I'm watching the post-match press conference, live, on ESPN right now. It's been revealed that Manny had a shoulder injury a few weeks back and the boxing commission wouldn't even let him take anti-inflammatory medication to help the shoulder heal. That's just ridiculous.

Oh yes...The TVR Tuscan Speed 6, I think, that you were talking about recently. I already purchased one in anticipation of your tuning sheet! I can't wait to get it up on the lift and have my guys working on the adjustments. JDM? Is that like the GT300 classification of cars? I'm not familiar with exactly what is a JDM class car. Anyone care to enlighten me?
