The Lion's Den - California Now Released

[nd 4 holden spd]

First, let me say thanks for such a great thread!

i've tried the GTR tuning setup, and whilst it is good, i don't think that its ideal for a 900 deg wheel as the amount of steering input required to make the car flick from left to right is pretty substantial.

I can see the setup working great with a controller (lock to lock in 0.01 seconds!), but it needs a bit more tweaking before i could recommend using it with a g25, as in its current form it is too laborious over a twisty track

I can fix that for you I think. Take my front toe setting, it is negative, and make it a positive front toe. You'll lose just a little front end grip, but will make it more responsive for you. It should help 👍

Edit: I've just driven the IS-F and XK without tuning them (bar gears on Lexus and PP for both). I must say they're quite impressive really. That IS-F should have a race with my DB9. The XK's handling is really nice, not enough straightline gusto to win races, but will certainly make some people reconsider what they're driving. Can't wait to tune them both.

 

[doblocruiser]

That's roughly 05:00 for me. I did just have some impressive races anyway though. Not clean (I was clean, they weren't), but impressive. I put up with a punter for a whole lap at Suzuka, got punted a number of times, Corvette brakes saved me, and I then managed 3rd, starting from 14th Same with a couple other races, starting 12th-14th and finishing with 2 4ths and a 5th. Pretty good IMO.

Edit: That's the 147 tune I gave you is it? Cool, it's actually being put to use

I'm very curious for that Vette Tuned setup

Yes, that Alfa is an absolute joy! Something else then the Evo's S2000 and Elises

I'll have to remind myself to test out that GTR setup tomorrow. I am getting sick of running the 111R at suzuka. Its fun and fast but hell to race. People overtake you in a straight line then hold you up in the corners so another driver can overtake you on the next straight. You can be the fastest on the grid and still go backwards through the pack fast.

Anyway, you sure upping the power is the way to go? I always thought at suzuka shedding weight was the better option?...

 

[nasanu]

OK just tried the GTR at suzuka, even though I have been awake for 24hrs. I did a 2:03.9xx after crashing a lot because I am so used to the 111R.

I had two main problems with the car. Firstly I think it was too stiff. It either has full grip or none at all and I am sure this is due to the suspension. I tried the stock setup right after and its much kinder passed the limit.

I also wanted the car to be more stable entering the first corner. The rear steps out but its not due to the brake balance but suspension. I could enter with the braking in control then shift down and the back would just come around. Having said that though, i did want the back to come around more in sweepers. You could say on power I wanted more rear movement, off power less.

I think the stock settings might be faster, but I'll have to test that tomorrow. I am sure the stock car can do the final chicane faster as it rides the ripple strips better and I seemed to be able to take 130R faster also.

BTW I realised that 85% was all that can be taken off

GT-R Review By Apollo87​

Note* This is my first review so please bare with me.

When I first came across the GT-R I thought that it was a great car, it was fast and manageable and could keep up with most of the fast cars in the game, eventually when racing through more technical courses the back came out with some ease. Also the gearing was a bit off as the turbo lag would get in the way and you'd lose some precious seconds.

So when I first tried this tune out I was surprised about how hard you had to push to actually get the back to slip, it's not imposible but if you get it out you're doing something very wrong. The gearing was mainly focused on the second and third gear so you get no turbo lag through the hard corners and are able to regain the speed pretty fast.

The bad thing about how the car is tuned is that you'd be getting some understeer mid turn but nothing really bad, when you get to a corner in the right speed the handling is spot-on.

This is not the fastest car you'll encounter online but definately the best point about this car is how consistent it can be and how requires little to no getting used to.

Pros: No turbo lag, very manageable.
Cons: Understeer under heavy cornering.

Nissan GT-R R35 - My Fuji Trials​

First off big ups to you man. This car rocked to run at Fuji. I did notice in about 50% of my races there was someone with a 699 GT-R. I am guessing they read your post.

Fuji - It was really nice to take Z06/Tuned, Viper/Tuned, and other GT-Rs with your set up.

Here is what I set for my driving style.

Max Turn Angle: 30

Gear Ratio:
5th: 1.035
6th: 0.877 (i really want to drop this lower on this car.)
Final: 3.431


Thanks again for this. I only ran 15 online races. I will give it a few more days and see if anything else changes... or if I end up going back to your numbers.

If you have the time I would like some advice for the F430... I have the gears down but I am unsure of my physical set up.


for everyone reading this... stop reading and take a ride in his GT-R. Your missing out if you don't.

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Thanks for the reviews nasanu, Apollo 87, and ofspunk7. 👍 It seems a few people are getting the understeer issue so I will have to have a look at improving that. With stiffer rear suspension and all it should have understeered less, and I am a bit suss on some of the tuning aspects of this game and their effects.👍 It could also just be the stiff springs, and as one person has mentioned, possibly having to much camber. I made the springs stiff with the hopes of supporting this car's weight, it's a shame they don't give us measurements on the spring rates.

ofspunk7, I'll take that F430 as a request car and get to work on it when I can. Time's limited when you try and run 2 garages by yourself (GT4 Aussie Tuners is the other). Good thing there isn't too many cars in GT5 and I've already bought most. That still leaves at least the better half of an hour on the tuning though.

Again, thanks for the reviews, I'll see if I can eliminate the understeer and keep the stability I worked for on the GT-R. I'll post a notice if and when I update it.

The Z06/Tuned will come within a day or 2 doblocruiser 👍

 

[Apollo87]

As much as the understeer is an issue I think it is way more manageable than getting the back out so easilly like in the stock GT-R, I don't know if you can actually make it a totally neutral car, but as it is i think its great.

I'll be sure to try out your new tune, I'm positive it'll be a good one.

rock on man... I will go back a few pages tomorrow and try out some of those other tunes. keep doing what you do.

Ok, I promised N4HS I would review his GTR07 setup, so have spent the last 40 mins doing a back to back comparo against the setup I nutted out last night for my GTR...

Firstly I should say that I am using a sixaxis and not a wheel, so that may have a bearing on some of the geometry settings.
N4HS GTR: Out of the box this car accelerated well, though I couldnt help but feel the gearing was a little tall, so I took both cars to the back straight of Suzuka and ran it backwards, down the hill from a standing start.
There are 3 clear markers on the road and both cars hit them at the same speeds, if anything N4HS hit the second marker carying about 3kph more, but this was pulled back by my car at the final marker, being 254kph.. I believe 6th gear wont quite run to the rev limiter if slipstreaming someone on either of the straights.. I know my car will just just about hit the rev limiter when slip streaming as you come onto the straights.

Next test was under brakes into turn one.. now not having a wheel, you need to have a car that is ultimately very stable under brakes, I use ABS=1 and no other traction control.

I jumped back into N4HS's GTR and punted it down the straight and into turn 1, hard on the brakes and then found myself fighting some over steer.. lets try that again... back up to the last complex before the straight and back into it, foot to the floor down the straight.. 100, 150, 200, 250.. 256 Hard on the brakes and tip it in to turn 1 and again I find the rear coming round on me, however this time I catch it and semi drift towards turn 2, wash off enough speed then plant it out of two and into the start of the esses.
I flung the car around and went back to try this a 3rd time to make sure... and again the same thing it seemed a little tail happy under brakes into high speed corners.. and a little more than I am comfy with when not using a wheel.
I park N4HS's GTR and jump into mine.. repeat the process.
Same speed down the straights, feel like im carrying a little more top end as I hit the braking marker and then hard on the brakes, down 1, then 2 gears and a touch of trailing brake run it slightly wide past the apex then down another gear and dab the bake before a late apex and drive out of second corner and up into the Esses complex.

Comparisons felt like 2 very different cars. One thing I really liked about N4HS's is the grip and ability to really nail the apex on the exit of turn 2, but overall I will have to say I still felt a little out of control here and the time sheets reflected a consistant advantage to my GTR over the Lions Den offering in this section.

So what about the esses, the section of track where it pays to be sharp of steering and under control.. Smooth is the key to speed through here.

The Lions Den GTR felt good through here, a slight dab of brakes to settle the car, and the gearing didnt feel to bad either. If you werent careful there was still a touch of L/O oversteer when braking if you were too ham fisted on the controls.
Lining both cars up through here the timesheets showed no difference. My GTR still just feeling a little more planted, but then maybe thats also a reflection in setting this car up to suit my driving style.

Next i take both cars down to the section that leads into the Hairpin Curve.. Worth noting that both cars feel fast and planted through the Dunlop and Degner with neither giving away any advantage.

I line the Lions Den GTR up hard on the gas out of the Degner complex and drive it hard for the hairpin. I use the little right kink as a braking marker and quickly find myself and the Lions den car struggling for grip and not to run wide.. has someone dropped some oil ??
Lets try that again.. nope. same thing.. I just cant get the car to want to hook up through this turn. A little frustrated I park N4HS's car and jump back into my car and hit the same corner at the same speed.. the change is very different and the car tracks nicely, pulls up and readily tips in and holds the line through the apex, then hard on the gas as the wheels scrabble for traction and it launches away.

I try this corner a few more times in both cars and find the same scenario..
Ok make or break time I take both cars to the Spoon curve. Again out of any hard accelerating or highspeed corner I have to give the nod to the Lions Den car, it just holds a slightly sharper line through 200R.. nice. Into the Spoon bend, and Im ready for a little oversteer in the Lions Den ride.. its not too bad here and it gets into this corner and then out of the spoon curve rather well, accelerating cleanly up the back straight and nails its line through 130R and then down to hard on the brakes for the final set of chicanes. I park it for the last time and jump into my car and repeat this last 3rd of the track. Through Spoon it feels tight, and exits cleanly.. 2 wheels up on to the rumble strip but nothing to worry about. Wind the gears out up the back straight, nail 130R and then hard onto the brakes and slam it down the gears for the final complex and over the start finish.

All in all both cars are close, but I cant get past the fact that with a sixaxis the Lions Den car doesnt feel as planted as it should. The time sheets reflect this with a best time of 2.06.576 in my GTR. The closest I could get in the Lions Den offering was a 2.07.4xx
This was done over about 6 laps each to make sure I was warm, focused and feeling ok with the car.
I'd like to give the thumbs up on this one, but it just doesnt suit my controller or my style.
For the record and comparison my car settings are as follows:
Power: + 18
Weight: 85
Tires: R3/R3
Ride Height -18/-18
Spring: 8/6
Damper: 8/6
Toe: -0.20/-0.10
Camber: 1.1/1.5
Brakes: 5/4
Torque split 35/65
Steering angle: 42
Traction: OFF
ABS: 1
1st: 3.819 (54 km/h)
2nd: 2.291 (90 km/h)
3rd: 1.592 (130 km/h)
4th: 1.245 (166 km/h)
5th: 0.991 (209 km/h)
6th: 0.784 (283 km/h)
Final gear: 4.498

Happy to hear your comments on this review or my setup.

Regs,
Stigs Mate.

Great comparision! I'm very bad at tuning so I completely rely on this thread 👍

Its an absolute joy to read. Nice to hear that some people really are in to this tuning "thing" , I personally only "drive"

Keep up the excellent work guys! 👍

Kind regards,

ps: any recommendations on the DB9?

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Awesome review/comparo Beefaben.👍 I tune/drive with six-axis also. You may find quite often I'll have a slightly wilder brake balance, good for turn-in, and I control the tail under brakes with steering movements. But looking at your setup yours should theoretically have more tail-out action. I fear PD have made front toe have too much effect. So all in all you are saying mine understeers or oversteers more? I've definitely got some work to do on this car. When I go and drive it again after driving my Vette I'll see this understeer, and find a way to fix it. My time in mine was a 2'05.xxx, and the fastest online time in a GT-R is a 2'02.xxx. He must have been a good driver.
Do you mind if I borrow an idea of yours? I may not yet, but it's something I should try. You have increased torque split up front and given a rear toe. Maybe mine isn't as good as some because of no rear toe to save the stability. With the front toe I may have made it too stable. There are things I certainly must look at again. Then again my setups emphasise ease of use and consistency, so I don't want to compromise my company image. Thanks again for the reviews everyone, it has given me some things to think about 👍

doblocruiser, I have a DB9 setup already, but it's not brilliant. It's good I think. I don't know, I have been too harsh on my cars in the past. I'll post it some day. A week give or take.

 

[Beefaben]

Hi mate,

The main thing I struggled with was the oversteer into corners and the loose feeling under brakes, everything else was pretty good.. it definately felt a little looser than mine into corners, but sharper out of the corner once hooked up.

Feel free to take anything you want from that setup, I'd like to know what you feel in terms of driving that setup.. I figure if its up on the web its free game and I havnt started a rival tuning house.....yet

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Ok, here comes my review( 1st ever.. ) for the Nissan GTR :
I tested the setup on Suzuka Circuit, because that is the one I drive most often. The GTR handles very smooth and goes pretty fast with your settings, also it's fantastic on the esses, very neutral.
Im not a good tuner so i was happy to see how you set the transmissions and i liked it! The flaws I had to deal with were that if you make a mistake it's hard to correct and avoid a spin off. That I think is because the suspensions in the front are pretty soft, also its in the nature of the GTR. Once the traction is lost it doesn't come back anytime soon. A good driver though can deal with this very well, be careful on certain points and can still be very quick around the track! I really pushed it, but couldn't beat my own time by 0.5 sec. Im confidant it's possible to go faster (and a bit safer) with this setup though.
I am curious now how a good set-up for the tuned vette would look like?
cheers 👍

Good work, bud. The layout is very simple, yet effective.

Ah, clearly you're not familiar with the tuning scene at GT4. Copyrighting a tune without permission is more criminal than if someone made millions off a Harry Potter copyright I may have made it sharper again now with an update, a bit more loose than before, but nothing even a novice driver couldn't handle. Also, about the brakes, driving the GT-R again I found I'm on the throttle again before the rear steps out on me, and I think you'd really have to push it to step the rear out.

Thanks for the review mate.👍 That setup is very consistent if you don't brake too late, which is always a good thing. I've got a new setup, well, changed the camber and toe. It's faster and still controllable I think.

NOTICE​

I have made a slight change to the setup of the GT-R. I would like some feedback before I change the setup sheet on whether or not it is good though. So here are the changes, very slight:
Camber: 1.5/1.0
Toe: -0.12/-0.10

I knocked almost a second off my time with those new settings, meaning I'm now in the 2'04s. Pretty good for me. Please try them out.

Description: The long awaited Tuned Z06 is here. What may at first glance look like a fairly conservative tune, I can assure you The Lion's Den has put a lot of time in deciding each and every setting you see above. The result is a car of pure pleasure to drive. It may not grip like a GT-R or brake like a Lotus, but it is certainly a great all-rounder. What was once a taily devil to control is now man's best friend. The tail will still step out, but the threshold of breaking traction has been greatly increased. If the tail does step out these settings also allow it to be brought back in line without much fuss. It was tuned at Suzuka, the best place for finding faults in a car's handling in the GT5 scene. Enjoy it as much as I do, and be careful with the throttle.

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

yeah that's what i meant, the braking got me into trouble sometimes .
I usually have brakes set to 6/5,5/5 or 5/4 which's not big difference, just have to get used to this setting. If it makes me faster/better its fine with me
Will have a go with the Z06,too. My favourite car in the game. Oh well i love the Tuscan Speed just as much
... i was doing 60 laps on Eiger with the TVR on s2 tyres in stock tune, its so much fun,almost couldn't stop!
Im sure for a perfectly good lap you would need to adjust the brakes and torque dist according to the different speeds and corners... but that belongs to driving, not tuning i guess lol

 

[doblocruiser]

Great! I'll check out that Chevy this evening!

TLD Z06/Tuned
First impressions:
Thanks to nd 4 holden spd for spending time & effort on this tricky car.

A bit about me:
I have been a fan of American cars for many years after seeing the film "Christine". That film inspired me to hunt down a '58 Plymouth at a show because I wanted to see one "in the steel". When I found one, the show was at a Dragstrip. This triggered off my interest in Drags & racing in general.
Recently I was lucky enough to drive a race-prepped Alfa 156 at a track-day at Donnington Park (very wet conditions). This scared the wits out of me & gave me an increased respect for the protagonists of Auto Racing.
I've been playing GT since the first one. On GT4 I obtained every car & tuned them all to my liking over three years whilst the Wife was working a lot of overtime!


The Vette:
On GT5P I have been using an EVO X at Suzuka for PP700 events because it was resiliant to shunter attacks.
I wanted to switch to the Vette, but mine was too tail-happy, OK for the Oval. I thought I would try out this TLD tune so I bought a new yellow Vette especially.
The gear ratios are spot on. The car feels very responsive & you can just point the nose accurately. The steering wheel on the G25 feels nice & firm.
I have just done about 9 laps of Suzuka offline. Throttle modulation is the key exiting the tight turns, the tail will step out if you get on it too soon.
The brake settings surprised me (opposite way round to my own tune) but the work well & are suited to some very late braking.

Some clever settings here which I recommend other players trying.
I am going to practice a bit more & then go online "into the lions den" so wish me luck.

EDIT: online 700PP test.
After taking the plunge I can report that I was lucky enough to encounter some racers who exhibited good sportsmanship as I got to grips with this beast (thanks to GTP_racer_lp for watching my 20).
The saving grace in this car is the "turnability" & the stability under braking. It is heaps more fun than the Evo. Although it is a trickier drive, I will endeavour to master it. Best showing is 5th thus far.

hey I took your Z06 out when I was trying to pick a car to take on S-1. Yeah I am back to clearing all events. Anyways that car took the high speed ring like butter. I love the drive. I had to drop it from pp700 to pp630 so i can't say i have had the full pleasure of driving it at pp700. Anyways i really like the car. When i get to the pp700 s-class events i will take it for a drive again and let you know what i think. The car took all of the corners well but it didn't have the power i needed for s-1. I have to say you really have it balanced well. thanks again for a great ride.

for now i am working on getting my NSX to s-1 status. still need to drop about 3 seconds.

can't wait for your next tune

 

[doblocruiser]

The Chevrolet Corvette Tuned was an absolute joy to drive. I drive with the wheel. You can throw the car really into the corners. It has enormes grip. It only tends to a bit understeer in the fast corner. 1 corner after start/finish and the 130R. This drives so much better than the standard car.

Video below is from a race tonight on Suzuka Pro PP700. A small payback for all the work you put in those setups 👍



Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Galgospeed

 

[Red_Line]

Sounds like good reviews, but would it not be better to have the cars tuned for specific tracks?

 

[ofspunk7]

Yes, but that is a lot of work. You need to run his tune and tweak it to what course you are running. Think of his advice as the golden key to the tuning lock on each track. Yes the car will handle great but everyone drives different and uses different things.... ie. my Dual Shock 3 vs your Wheel. Take his advice and tweak it to the track and style of driving you need. But whatever you do don't hate on someone putting in the time to grace us with sweet tunes.

Thanks for the review 👍 Personally since making this Vette I haven't even looked at the Lancer since It's so much more fun, and skill building. This Lion's Den title is really taking off too. Tight corners were a bit of a problem, but at least it is still manageable with ease. Containing over 600Nm is not easy I'm glad you liked it, it's a shame we never got that race together on HSR when the host quit.

I assume this was the standard Z06. It's good people are willing to test the trickiest car to drive in the game (although that's not how it should be, I'd like to know when a 4-door luxury sedan started handling better than a Corvette). Thanks for the kind comments, a balanced Vette was all I wanted to make.👍 I may upgrade it soon though, I thought of some ways I might make it better.

The Chevrolet Corvette Tuned was an absolute joy to drive. I drive with the wheel. You can throw the car really into the corners. It has enormes grip. It only tends to a bit understeer in the fast corner. 1 corner after start/finish and the 130R. This drives so much better than the standard car.

Video below is from a race tonight on Suzuka Pro PP700. A small payback for all the work you put in those setups 👍



Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,

Thanks for the review , and video 2nd place is impressive in any car. Watching wheel movemets like that sure makes it look easy I bet you could take this really fast in time trial.

Sounds like good reviews, but would it not be better to have the cars tuned for specific tracks?

Most cars will respond well to a lot of tracks with the same tune anyway. The big differences you must watch for in GT games are bumps and technicality. So London and Eiger will need separate tunes, Fuji and HSR and Suzuka and Daytona Road will need separate tunes, and Daytona Oval sucks will need a separate tune. Most of my cars are aimed at Suzuka and Fuji for the moment as that is what most people want to enter. You are right though, and when the full GT5 comes out circuit specific tuning will play a much larger role.


As always, anyone who did a review is welcome to request a car to be tuned by me.

Edit: Doesn't anyone want to check out my GT-R update? Once I see what the new online events are I'll be bringing some new cars to the fight.

I'll check out your GT-R settings, I made some settings for online Fuji and Suzuka myself (see the Japanese Tuner section) and I'm curious if I can get better results with your settings. It's nice to see that lot's of people are tuning and posting their settings!

I tried your GT-R settings. I like what you did to the handling, handles very good, especially when braking. I get similar results with your setup on Suzuka and Fuji as I do with my own setups. Nice work!

I must ask if you got the updated settings? I'll add them to the setup sheet now, I think they're better regardless. Just the toe and camber was different.

Notice: Once I see what the new online events are I may change the setup's performance points to match.

Edit: Good to hear you liked it regardless.

Edit 2:

NOTICE​

Fear not faithful racers of GTP, new events are out meaning new cars are needed. The Lion's Den will work hard to update all settings on all cars in the coming days to suit the new races.
In the meantime, the Alfa 147 is already set up for 500 PP so give it a go. I will look at it again though just to be sure it's up to par. I'm dedicated to bringing you some good tunes to suit the races available.
