Can't wait to get my hands on a Spoon EK9 thought, if you know what I mean. 💡

If I remember rightly, there's one in my UCD, I can send it to you if you want...

 

[VTiRoj]

So the 300ZX I have is nearly done now...trying to decide between a crappy custom 6-speed or the stock 5, which is better. PD, y u no give us custom 5-speed? also trying my hardest to beat the S2000 GT1 Turbo, which it insists on keeping up with, but not overtaking...

Why on earth would you want a 5-speed over the 6?

I'd rather spend time sitting in a bolted bucket seat than in a rotating stool, thank you.

Me too, but I wanted easy money, which is what B-Spec is good for.

Yeah, you'll have to look in the used car dealer for that. Or you could buy the premium EK9 and paint it yellow and put a carbon bonnet on it.

 

[uMadson?]

methinks there's one at the OCD, or if you want, I'mma dupe you one.

Get to the OCD though, that's the most practical way

 

[Dragonthing]

Why on earth would you want a 5-speed over the 6?

Because the stock 5 is very good as long as you avoid booting it in 2nd out of corners, then it just drifts. I'd prefer a longer 5 to use the torque properly than waste time with a weird 6 that will end up too long in order to deal with that torque.

Oh, and I still don't have a name for the racing-slicked 458-beating beast...

Just use the 6th as a cruise gear, for low-rpm cruising at 200mph.

Name it the 458 Britania.

So I should just pretend I went for a proper 5 speed setup, and write 6th off as a useless overdrive gear? sounds good...

Need more...Japanese tuner-ish names? It's in that infinitely dark blue from the E-Type by the way

Sometimes I go plain and halfassed. Try the "RKM <insert chassis code with cheesy revisions>".

For example, RKM BCNR33 Type A.

Tuner Comments:
This Insight has been tuned for the 400PP Nurburgring shootout. It makes for a great car to use for the 400PP seasonal events, too.

This Insight is so evil, it is even more eviler than Skeletor.

This is a fully broken in Honda Insight, without oil change. If your Insight isn&#8217;t fully broken in or has had its oil changed, you probably won&#8217;t hit 400PP. In that case, you&#8217;ll just have to balance the power limiter and ballast weight until you can hit 400PP yourself.

 

[Michelin]

Roj, I think the 400R don't fit the Indy A tune for the following reasons:
-Weight. (Diference of 23kg)
-FC transmission ain't able to go down to 112mp/h (180km/h). Lowest it can go is 200km/h.
-FC Suspension has lower ride height (-35 instead of -20).

Might be wrong though.

Not a problem.

The transmission wasn't going to fit anyway. They have different engines.

Also not a problem, just experiment with the height, but don't rake it.

I see. I though they shared engines
I'll try the setup later and post some feedback later here.

The 400R has a modified RB engine, called the RB-X GT2. It revs a lot higher than the RB26DETT in the R33 GT-R. 👍

I see. And I forgot to say about the 400R, the rear spring rate minimum is 7.5, and on the Indy A tune, the rear spring is set at 5.0
Just pointing it out, I'm going to test the 400R with the Indy A setup and see if there is any difference and let some feedback here.

Except it's a Z32 it's practically Nismo Z-tune worthy

Set both front and rear spring rates 2.5 higher than the Indy A tune.

I'm taking it to the Nordschleife, hoping I don't get killed by it

I have decided to call that 300ZX the, erm...nope, still no idea at all. Also, my break at work is hugely boring and cold...

whats your hp and pp? or how about the anti 458zx, lord zed, japanese ferrari, or since its your's what about "The Dragon(Ball) Z" lol

See, Dragon Z was knocking about my head, along with stuff like "oh jesus not more Big Macs" earlier, but I wrote it off as a silly suggestion...but maybe I'll use that if I'm not the only one who thunk of it!

And as for bhp and PP, well...that's classified

Herp a derp...nope! Nevar...I hate Big Macs...

i'd name it for its hp, like mine is the 500zx

 

[Dragonthing]

So mine would be the ovar-9000zx then? I detuned it a bit down to 340bhp for some 500PP action and it kicked total ass

I thought you said that power figures were "classified", hehe.

I can throw vague amounts around though! It is not some full power beast, but neither is it stock...

 

[oopssorryy]

Well the GTR is regularly called Godzilla, and the Supra RZ is sometimes called King Kong (and then they fight like in the movies!). So if you can come up with another odd monster like that.....
