Forgive me for my delay my friend, I've been a little busy. I am in the process of retrying all the cars from the December CoTM, I will try those tires with it and give you some news. I've got a new project coming and my partner
@Thorin Cain and/or me will probably come pester you a bit for some details. We've decided to open up a new Replica garage, but since there is no way we can match your quality we are doing it with a particular twist. We were thinking of hiring you as a specialist consultant :bowdown:, the pay is real bad :grumpy: but the owners are, well you know, us 👍.:cheers:

Don't worry, we all are busy :lol: I need to post cars too. It's good to hear there will be another replica garage, we need more here in GTP :)

Notes :

This is one of my most fun replica that I ever built :) The car is HKS CZ200S, a sleeper street car build which can double as time attack car at the track :eek: The car used is Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X CZ4A with a generous helping of HP increase. The specs of the real car :

Engine Modifications
HKS 4B11 forged pistons, HKS 4B11 H-section connecting rods (prototype), HKS GT3240 54T A/R0.73 full turbine kit, HKS GTII external wastegate, HKS turbine adapter, HKS stainless steel downpipe, HKS Silent Hyper one-off exhaust system, HKS Valcon Plus V Cam Kit Pro (256º IN, 248º EX); HKS 1.2 mm metal head gasket. HKS bypass pipe, HKS chamber pipe (polished), HKS polished suction pipe, HKS Racing Suction Reloaded foam filter, HKS R-Type Intercooler, HKS polished intercooler piping, upgraded fuel pump, HKS fuel rail, HKS 1000cc/min injectors, HKS cam covers with carbon spark plug cover
Power Rated at 575 PS and 67.5 Kgf-m of torque with the boost set at 1.95kgf/sqcm

Engine Management
HKS F-Con V Pro ECU

Drivetrain
HKS Racing 6-speed strengthened gears transmission (prototype) - uses 6 speed OEM ratio, HKS LA-type twin plate clutch w/ lightweight flywheel.

Suspension
HKS Hipermax III Sport prototype version ( '09 Spec )

Wheels, Tires and Brakes
Yokohama Advan Racing RS 18x10 +25 front, +35 rear, Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 ( Soft Compound - possibly an early phase of the "R" Orange Oil Rubber Compound ) 265/35R18 tires, Endless monoblock forged 6-pot calipers (f), 2-piece mini 6-pot calipers (r), Endless 2-piece E-slotted rotors (f/r), Endless brake pads all around

Exterior
Ralliart front brake ducts, HKS carbon canards, HKS carbon front under spoiler, Esprit dry carbon rear GT wing/HKS dry carbon rear wing (now fitted)

Interior
Bride Zeta III carbon-Kevlar racing bucket seats, Takata racing harnesses, Nardi leather steering wheel, HKS shift knob, HKS EVC 5 boost controller, HKS Circuit Attack Counter lap timer, HKS A/F Knock Amp meter, data logger

The car was featured in Hot Version / Best Motoring ( not sure which one :lol: ) Advan Neova AD07 vs AD08 Time Attack. This replica is based on the very same car that broke the street car/tire lap record at Tsukuba ( under 1 minute ). Driven by the drift master / HKS Test Driver Nobuteru Taniguchi, the HKS CZ200S posted 59.495 time on lap 8. A testament of the excellent performance, consistency and durability of the tire. The tire used was Advan Neova AD08 ( there's a possibility the tire uses early phase "R" Orange Oil Compound which later become AD08R ) The equivalent is slightly below SM tire in GT6, as the SH tire severely lacks in straight line grip, but SM has a bit too high lateral grip, so I have to make do with SM tire and it works great.

The weight and distribution data uses HKS own test car data for the Hipermax III Sport '09 Spec. Test car weight at 1581kg with 58.1 / 41.9 distribution, reflected in the ballast position. Power set at 567HP / 575 PS with all power upgrades installed and oil change. Torque is highest possible at 482.2 ft-lb / 66.7 kgfm, slightly lower than the real car 67.5 kgfm.

Suspension uses HKS Hipermax III Sport '09 Spec, with 12/10 spring rate. The rear spring rate is not possible in GT6 :grumpy:, so I have to use slightly lower rate at 9.77 kg/mm. I have tuned the damper and ARB to help the car easier to rotate. With the visual ride height and test car ride height being front lower, the understeer effect needs to be reduced/controlled. I have provided a variety of ride height and alignment to choose from. The recommended setup is 12/9.77 + Visual Ride Height ( 70/80 ) and HTF Test Car Alignment, this is the setup that I used for the GT6 vs Real Life video :)

There is also a second set of suspension setup which uses lower spring rate package at 10/8. This is suited better for bumpy tracks. It comes with the same variety of ride height and alignment as 12/9.77

AYC has been tuned as well with base value of 88 used on the replica ( recommended range 86 - 96 ). Feel free to adjust it to your liking / driving style.

The transmission remain stock as the real car uses 6 speed manual H pattern with HKS own prototype gears ( strengthened to endure the torque/power ) and uses 6 speed SST Getrag ratio and final. The base car used might be originally a manual 5 speed Evo X or SST 6 speed Evo X and HKS did a Manual H pattern conversion. A twin plate clutch also fitted ( HKS LA Type )

Racing Brakes kit has been installed to replicate the braking power / distance of the real car which have upgraded Endless Brake Kit : Monoblock forged 6-pot calipers (f), 2-piece mini 6-pot calipers (r), Endless 2-piece E-slotted rotors (f/r), Endless brake pads all around. Brake balance set at 4/4 for good stable braking power.

I have installed a rear wing, recreating as close as possible the real car Esprit GT Carbon Wing ( fitted on the real life lap record ) The Esprit GT wing was replaced after wards with HKS own GT wing.

The HKS CZ200S replica was tuned and tested at Willow Springs, Twin Ring Motegi Road and Tsukuba ( on comfort tire and sports tire ). At Twin Ring Motegi Road and Comfort Soft ( 12/9.77 + Visual+Test Alignment ), it managed a 2:06s lap time in 1st lap, quicker than the Gallardo SL LP570-4 and Nissan GTR '07 replica on same CS tire :eek: A replay of the Motegi lap has been included.


I also have included below a replay of the lap replicating the real life record at Tsukuba. The lap in GT6 is 59.484 against real life 59.495. I drive with similar pace to real life ( I watched the real life lap and used what I saw as a reference on how Taniguchi-san attack the track + how hard he pushed the car ), and you can see that the braking, steering, shift actions are very similar. A Youtube video has also been made, credits goes to @Lewis_Hamilton_, who helped created/edited/uploaded the video on his account, view it and leave a comment or like :)

Enjoy the car and the video ( a must watch ) :cheers:

One question: Do the rally cars use TCS and ABS in real life? I'm in doubts...

I don't think so, they are generation apart, and I doubt weight, torque and handling can be close. For TCS and ABS, as far as I know, they don't use it in WRC, I'm not really an expert on rally, might have to ask someone from motorsport sub forum.

As far as I know current WRC cars ( and maybe 2.0L wrc too ) have ABS system but in 100% didn't have TCS

Notes :


The CL7 Accord Euro R, the next generation of Accord Type R, sporting K20A engine instead the H22A7 2.2 of previous generation CL1.

This replica is based on HKS HIPERMAX III test/demo car. Power is 217HP / 220PS, to reach this I have installed catalytic converter sports and limit the power to 217HP. Stock power in GT6 is only 215HP when bought. Weight is at 1360kg, based on corner weight figure reports with 61/39 weight distribution.

HKS HIPERMAX III is fitted with 9/5 springs, a rear helper springs at 4.7N/mm or 0.48 kg/mm rate also fitted to help it stays in place under extreme conditions and full droop. I have tuned the damper and ARB for good balance on street tires. I have also provided a wide variety of ride height setup and test car + standard factory recommended alignment. I highly recommend to try all of them, from stock to lowest ride height on both alignment, see which one suits you best.

I also fitted LSD, 1.5 way based on Cusco RS as I felt that the stock GT6 LSD is not good enough. In real life, CL7 Accord Euro R has helical LSD from factory. The LSD setup in this replica gives solid traction and nice balance from mid corner to exit, maintain partial throttle from on mid corner to point the car for exit when driving on street tires, this will ensure good traction while not causing the front tire to push.

I tested the Accord Euro R HKS Hipermax III at Tsukuba, aiming to replicate real life Tsukuba Best Motoring lap record at 1:11.14 on stock 220PS Accord Euro R CL7. The replica can lap in flat 1:11s with a clean run using all different ride height + both alignment and should be able to lap in high 1:10s range. I also drove the car at Mt Panorama Bathurst, very fun on CM tire.




ENJOY :cheers:

Notes :
Finally Kuroki R33 GTR can be built in GT6 :) 800HP Wangan Monster, be very careful when driving the car, she's a beast and don't like being treated bad.

UPDATE : Revised Damper, corrected weight distribution to real life spec and updated brake balance.

Forgot to say to @danbojte, that is an awesome finish with the R33, comfort soft :D I think the flat floor helped a lot with the handling. Can't imagine what it would like without flat floor :eek: Shall I dare you :sly:

Hi Ridox ( hope you don't mind me leaving out the 2JZGTE it makes it kind of long :rolleyes:, plus I always mix up something with the letters :embarrassed:), I have a technical question for you, let's say your looking for the distance between the front and rear axel, how would you word out your research to get this information or is their a way from the in game data that we can retrieve this.

I'm working on suspension frequency phasing and this info is vital to get closer to the truth. They do use this IRL tuning from manufactures to race teams, so I'd like to integrate it in my tuning procedure if possible. Thanks. :cheers:

Notes :



The Gallardo SL LP570-4 has 570PS or 562HP, with extensive carbon fibre lighweight body parts, tipping the scale at official dry weight figure of 1340kg and 43/57 weight distribution. The Best Motoring lap with the car based on the info gathered has curb / test weight at 1558 kg, similar to Car & Driver test weight.

I used SP Engineering Coilover Kit with Swift Springs, spring rate for the suspension at the front : 10.30 Kg/mm (576.8lb/in) and rear: 12.00 Kg/mm (672lb/in). I have set the damper and ARB to give slight trait of understeer but still have excellent balance from mid corner to exit, to reflect real life professional review of the car, a combination of Best Motoring's Hattori-san and Tsuchiya-san impression and Alain Prost's review in a magazine test.

I have used factory range alignment on camber and toe, this is mild setup aimed for balance on the street and track, giving even wear. There are 3 preset camber with 2 choices of toe level. The Gallardo SL has 2 way rear LSD with 25% lock on acceleration and 40% lock on coast/overrun, while the front is open based on information gathered so far. The VT ( Viscous Tracion ) system under normal driving conditions provide 15% power up front and 85% rear, while under extreme/optimum conditions, the system sends up to 30% power to the front wheels when needed. I have set the GT6 LSD to reflect this, with initial torque set to provide unique locking transition giving around 40-45% lock overall. The LSD gives excellent traction and response to throttle, drive like a one would drive a Gallardo in real life would, be smooth and make use of the AWD system, a good throttle play will give slight oversteer on exit and neutral mid corner, heavy foot won't do :P

The Gallardo SL LP570-4 570PS SP Engineering replica was tuned and tested at Tsukuba, Motegi Road Course, Willow Springs and Red Bull Ring. The real life record at Motegi Road Course is 2:08.657. I have tested the car extensively on 1558kg and medium camber. The car managed 2:07.3s at Twin Ring Motegi and 1:25.1s at Willow Springs ( Big Willow ).

I have provided replays below of the run at Willow Springs and Twin Ring Motegi, enjoy.

I recommend to drive with 1558kg + medium camber or try the 1558kg + aggressive track high camber low speed setup at Twin Ring Motegi

Nice win against racing cars :eek: 👍

@TurnLeft : Shorter wheelbase will usually have lower difference in spring frequency between front and rear axle ( rear will be a bit higher ). The longer the wheelbase ( increase ), the higher the difference of spring frequency to maintain ride quality and stability.

Notes :


The McLaren is one of the most fun replica I ever built :)

This base GT3 replica has only 500PS and 1240kg, but it's performance is on par with proper GT3 racing cars on similar power.

I provided 3 different sets of camber this time, feel free to try all of them, and pick the one that gives the best feel on the track. Everything from spring rate, damper and ARB has been tuned to work with all 3 camber sets, toe also tailored to suit on each camber setup.

LSD is 1.5 way this time to make the car easier to push with camber setup.

For gearing, I have no good information on the ratio, some sites mention Ricardo 6 speed, others mention Xtrac 6 Speed, so I decided to use 416 Xtrac ratio, and it worked quite well on the car, giving ample top speed and acceleration. The gear can be used for engine braking effectively for stabilizing the car under heavy braking or just to help the nose pointed on apex in medium and low speed corners. Never fear to shift down on 1st and 2nd to help the car change direction.

I tuned/tested at Silverstone GP, Bathurst and Nordschleife this time. Even with High Camber setup, the MP4-12C GT3 is capable of 2:02s lap at Silverstone GP on RH tire.

The camber setup has been tested on RH tire only, take your own risk using it on SS tire :D

ENJOY :cheers:

For this I used SS, Abs/1 and MT. Handling wise the car was a charm, but it could have been from me just waking up from a nap or my inexperience of driving with MT but I finished 2nd, 6 seconds off. I changed tires after 4 laps,

Refuel 17 liters.

After telling @danbojte that he should take a rematch after losing I felt I was pretty much obliged to do as I preached.

Super - Willow Springs - 20-mile Challenge - PP Limit: 650> - Tires: SS>

Revenge race, used SS, Abs/1 and AT, + I was quite more awaken and :mad:

The car handled the same as before, it takes the small bumps coming down from the hill quite well, out of curve acceleration is linear and no hint of tire /wheel spin. Lap 5 the F1 McLaren and the FXX pitted as they came out we were toe to toe. Beat them into the curve and lost them in my dust forever. Easy win.

Tire wear laps 1-4

I might have not pushed the car enough in the first race as the refuel values seems to show.

Since you wanted to know with SH here we go, I know this is not what you had in mind :ouch:. I finished 3rd at +8.356 off the leader :banghead:, total time was 10:20.079 👎. This was more like a skate-a-thon :scared: with dull blades, was sliding every which way. Braking was like throwing the dice and praying you stayed on the track.

Ok I hate losing to the AI drivers, so I’m going back but with intermediate tires.

Did a bit better, the car was much more stable, come to think of it I don’t remember feeling any bumps on the road, must have had my mind elsewhere :odd:. Total time 9:46.281, finished first by 21.798 seconds. That’s how it should be.:D


Int.B - Supercar Festival - Silverstone Int. Circuit - PP Limit: 630> - Tires: SS>

I’m going to try SM for this one, let’s hope that I don’t have to redo it with SS to win.

Handled well, could have used some front aero to help turn in. I think that not having this option when making a replica or turning any car into a GT3 type car is missing in this game. With SM there is no problem except the fact that the tires need more space for deceleration.

. With SH out of curve acceleration becomes a little more hazardous. With this track's slanted curves it becomes more tricky to pull out. You often get a grainy feeling on this track and it was the case with this car. In general on all tracks the F/R motion of the car is quite excellent, makes you wonder to what frequency they (the elves that work for Ridox) tuned it. Beautiful my friend, now all we have to do is get a decent front spoiler to make it a real GT3.

Wow, those are lot of race and dedication to win 👍 For the suspension, I tuned this one by feeling and using real life spring rate data used for track use as reference base line. I haven't calculate the frequency :lol: just good ol' fashioned real life based tuning procedure and by feel : I tuned the damper at Tsukuba, then refined it at Silverstone GP ( ARB, toe and camber ) I also use visual camber from real life pictures :D

It was also tested at Nurb GP F on CS, SH, SM , SS and RH.

Suspension is based on retail ADVOX Height Adjustable Coilover Suspension with medium spring rate package selected, TOM's roll bar and the ADVOX specific wheel alignment setup also included ( camber and toe ). When tested, the car managed 1:08s with ease.

The TOM's ADVOX replica should work on sports tire as well and power up to 400+PS.


Update : Fixed ADVOX Alignment Range.

Added LSD setup - a tuned version of OEM Torsen LSD fitted on Supra RZ - provides more stable power delivery.

Another small update, added LSD setup which provide stable power delivery on CM tire.
 
Wow, those are lot of race and dedication to win 👍 For the suspension, I tuned this one by feeling and using real life spring rate data used for track use as reference base line. I haven't calculate the frequency :lol: just good ol' fashioned real life based tuning procedure and by feel : I tuned the damper at Tsukuba, then refined it at Silverstone GP ( ARB, toe and camber ) I also use visual camber from real life pictures :D

It was also tested at Nurb GP F on CS, SH, SM , SS and RH.
Did they have that high of spring rate? :confused: Also there is a 30% difference from rear to front in the spring rates, it works but was this in the IRL setup or did you compensate one of the two ( front or rear ) to make it work.:sly:

GT3 cars have high rate springs - from 14kg/mm to close to 30kg/mm. I have data for some of the cars :) Let's say one of the Italian MR race car brand in the Challenge Cup - similar setup to GT3 and close to MP-12C weight distribution, has 15kg/mm front and 24kg/mm rear. So I used RL setup and adapted it.
 
@TurnLeft : this is the available setup used on the 458 Italia GT3 ( some of the spring rate options )

Front
120-60-280 N/mm
120-60-300 N/mm
120-60-320 N/mm


Rear
170-60-180 N/mm
170-60-200 N/mm
170-60-220 N/mm


The opposite of what usually used on MR cars, but it works so well when I built the 458 GT3 replica.

Your a gem my friend 👍, I've just copied this info and will get around to it eventually. I've been having a debate with myself on the tuning procedure for non-replica cars (TT & others) and I've come to the conclusion that the ideal way is to start the ground up ( I think Audi have this philosophy to building a car). So the first thing is the tires, once chosen we come to a little snag, to tune properly I think we would need the maximum force a tire can take: at what weight, speed and kgf/mm spring rate will the tire lose grip. If we had that or an approximate value it would make life as a tuner much easier. So I'm trying to find those values by using indirect tests, if you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them. Yes I'm still :crazy: but sometimes I do try to understand GT6 physics.:lol:

I don't have equation for such thing as there are too many variable to be considered :) You need to consider weight distribution, where the drive wheels and engine are, the tire used, the power level, and the track. To some extent, I think all of the cars have unique spring frequency range and motion ratio, hence why Nissan GTR for example likes around 1.4 to 2 times stiffer front spring just like real life. Some of old vintage cars like Honda 1300, Skyline KPGC10, Alfa Giuletta 1600 likes similar real life spring ratio ( a lot stiffer front, one of them due to high rear roll center ) Cars with live rear axle and front engined IRL also like softer rear spring. Modern FR like C5 - C6 - C7 Corvette with more balanced distribution of weight at 50% or 52% rear often work best with equal rate or 10% to 20% higher rear.

If you try some RR and MR cars, they often offer better balance of handling with lower difference of rate, usually 20-30 percent higher rear rate will provide good stability while not causing too much understeer. Running lower rear rate also works wonder on MR cars, as used IRL on NA2 NSX-R. The purpose is to enhance stability with tuned damper to give back agility.

Just an example of research on GT3 Cup Porsches : Porsche GT3 Cup cars IRL on some model generation ( 996 - 997 ) uses equal rates ( homologated ) with racing slick, often in range of 260N/mm, older generation GT3 Cup has slightly lower front at 240N/mm while rear stays at 260N/mm. These are matched with LSD with well defined preload range between 80Nm to 180Nm ( low to medium ), higher than 180Nm is not allowed as it offer much more predictable/consistent handling behavior on throttle/brake and transition of throttle/brake. The ramp angle also regulated which result in 40% lock on power / 60% lock on coast or overrun. The LSD complement the fixed spring rate for close racing.

What I would do is to make a range of spring rate for each tire level, for comfort to sports to racing tires. Higher weight car would need higher rate even on comfort tires, Nissan GTR and Lexus ISF are good example. The higher the rate, the higher the frequency, the quicker the car will respond - sharper and less forgiving on lower grip tire, but offers much better stability on grip limit envelope.

For high aero cars, an increase in rate is needed to compensate for the added force on the tire on higher speed, best to test the car on high speed track like Silverstone GP, Monza, Red Bull Ring, Nordschleife and city track like Tokyo and SSR5 for example.

I agree there are quite many variables from car to car, what I'd like to find is those attributes that are the same for all cars, like F=mc^2, or F=G(m1m2/r^2, in the real world. Well I'd better head back to the bat cave and do some more experiments. If I find something I'll let you know. Oh here's something that i finished recently,
Track Top Speed For Transmission Settings,it's a bit general but it gives you an idea for which tracks work best together with the same gear box setting.:cheers:
