Surprising 550pp-700pp Beast

[DoomRider]

Apologies if someone’s already posted something like this build (I’m new).

While doing the the daily grind at the High Speed Ring I fancied something a bit different to the Toyota, so I gave the Nissan S15 a shot. After some tweaking and a lot of trial and error this has become my go to build for 550pp-700pp races. It sticks like s**t, is super forgiving and absolutely slays in the straights (mostly in the higher pp races). I’m a complete novice, but I’ve no doubt someone more knowledgable and skilled can tweak this a little more and have it hold its own in 800pp races.
I’ve just run the Le Mans Touring Car 700 on normal. Was in and held first after lap 2 with one pit stop, fuel map 6 for the entirety and finished over 1 min ahead of 2nd.

Let me know what you think/suggestions.

The Sylvia TC is my absolute favorite ride in GT7 and the secret weapon in the game. Don't tell anybody And it has a good sound too, compare to other Gr.4 vacs. I"m curious about your setup...

Hahaha, yeah I kinda didn’t wanna mention it. Just did my daily grind of the Le Mans 700pp race. Pouring rain from the middle of lap 2, but still trounced it by a full minute!

Give my tune a shot and see how you get on. Any suggestions for improvement would be great.

... same here Than I changed to the Porsche and I had a nearly dry race, so intermediates where not needed at all. Hmmm...

Comparing the setups I had the impression my setup is a bit more stable and the car turns in better, so it seems easier to drive overall. My lap times tell this too, but hey, I'm used to it In the end I had nearly the same lap times with your setup. So as I use a PS4 with controller it's hard to tell something about "how the car feels" anyway, maybe you can evaluate this better with a wheel. Here's my setup:

Racing Hard
80 - 90
7 - 8
35 - 35
45 - 45
3.50 - 3.50
0.5 - 0.0
0.10 - -0.20

10
15
20

Aero
200 - 280

Tested on Nürb 24h, TrialMountain, Catalunya, Le Mans, so it seems to be kinda overall setup. Gears by track.

Sylvia looks slightly bleary-eyed after all that grinding...
