Some tunes (GNX, Series 1, 512 BB, Supra RZ)

[87lc2]

Hey guys, wanted to post some tunes for these lesser used cars so people can enjoy them a bit more.

Let me start by saying I drive with a DS3, Directional Pad for steering and X-accel []-brake (I know its ridiculous, Im just so used to it) I also drive with no aids except ABS-1. Just give you guys an idea of where these are coming from so you can adjust accordingly if you feel necessary.

As far as tuning is concerned, I always drive the car stock then make adjustments from there. I only make necessary adjustments to the car and always make sure that they improve the cars feel & lap time. I always start with the Brake Balance and LSD to get the car driveable, then tune form there. You will notice that my tunes dont slam to car to the ground or have outrageously stiff spring rates. I believe a good tune can work on many different tracks, and these do just that. I do all of my initial tuning on Deep Forest, then fine tune on Nurb GP/D.


Any feedback is greatly appreciated, just hoping I can help someone use one of these cars successfully as I love them dearly, especially the GNX

**All of the tunes are on RS tires for the time being, but most work just fine on SS with some Brake Balance & LSD adjustments**

**Tranny Adjustments are to be adjusted per track, that is why they are not listed in the tune**

Comments: I dearly love this car, I have both an 87 GNX & and 87 Grand National in real life. The car in this exact tune ran a 7:22.464 at the Ring in my Online Lounge. It will definitely surprise a few cars at this hp range, but certainly wont keep up with ultra light Exotics and Japanese sports cars with equal power.

Comments: This car is very tail happy by nature and a handful to drive, but this tune does a good job of calming it down a bit. Not the fastest car out there, but so much fun to drive and look at. Definitely one of my favorites.

I guess no one does use these cars...

I'm in the middle of tuning my Supra RZ. I'm trying to eliminate the wheel spin that I'm getting, at 725hp that becomes quite difficult. Haven't even touched the suspension yet. I don't think I can spec mine down to 400, I've done all the engine upgrades and if I remember right, without a turbo, it's running at around 500hp. Sorry mate.

Edit: Actually I just had a thought, I do have a Toyota Soarer GT-T '97 thats right around 350hp. I'll bump it up to 400hp and see how it does. The tunes should transfer over, as the Supra is based of the Soarer platform. They are basically the same car with different body panels (and the Soarer uses the 1JZ-GTE instead of the 2JZ-GTE like the Supra does). I'll give it a try when I can get back to the PS3 I play on (Tuesday or Wednesday)

I've got an RZ and GNX I've been meaning to tinker with, I'll clear the dust off my cars and give your tunes a shot. Thanks for sharing

I have the GNX, I will be maxing out the power to 620 and making adjustments, but this is a good baseline.

Yea, I usually dont tune my cars to the max because I use a DS3 and its difficult enough to control the throttle. I also like the racing in mid hp online lobbies better. I do have a GNX tuned to 620 hp and it runs pretty good. Problem is, when you get up into the 600+ hp level, it just cant hang with modded Exotics & Japanese Sports cars. Ill post that tune when I get a chance.
