the car is brilliant but the TT itself lets it down, to strict with the run off & cones. You take the natural racing line out of “Arnage” clipping the curb, you get D’Qed. You take the natural racing line coming out at the “Porsche Curves” you get D’Qed. Crazy, so even if you wanted to push you can't, hents the reason why ive only done 3 laps, 3rd lap slowly just to get a lap in to get the car. can't be bothered with the lap times on this one, as its not a fair TT
good luck to thoughs that get through to the final, give it all you can.

Agreed on the track limits as I failed a bunch of laps taking a realistic line, worst part is the Ford Chicane because they normally jump the curbs but you cant even get close to doing it. Managed gold eventually by a few seconds and gave up because it's not a lot of fun.
As for the car, slow and understeery would be a way to describe it. Huge traction issues and really lacks low speed mechanical grip, braking isn't great, maybe due to the GT6 version still using the small wheels+brakes(?). You'll get monstered by the other modern P1 cars in the game, even the Zytek isn't that far off at Spa where I was testing.

What triggers the Hybrid to kick in, I've only put a lap in so far but I noticed the battery indicator empties very quickly indeed?
As for the handling, it's interesting.
The FFB on the other hand... my T500 is gonna shake loose from the stand

I think that's how flywheel deploy after corner exit or so whatever.What triggers the Hybrid to kick in, I've only put a lap in so far but I noticed the battery indicator empties very quickly indeed?

In this current setup, it drives like a big hot steaming pile of dog-🤬. Trying to send 600+hp exclusively through the front wheels of an LMP is just asking for trouble.

In-game, it's triggered at about 112 mph, and is burned through before 4th gear on full acceleration. I didn't notice any limitations by the ACO on KERS minimum speed deployment like there is in F1, but there is a limit to the amount of energy expended from the ERS system(s) per lap.
Again in-game, KERS does appear to power the rear wheels. The car, at least in my ham-fisted driving style, goes from pretty big understeer to slight oversteer powering through the last part the esses as the KERS kicks in.

I actually kind of like the car. Only drove the TT, which is awful due to the cones. I usually like cars with mechanical grip over aero grip. The first half of the track causes the dreaded understeer, but its manageable. The KERS system comes in perfectly. I think it has something to do with detecting wheelspin. The car is really balanced through the Porsche Curves. I definitely expected understeer, but the aero grip overcomes it and just gets you around quite neutrally. Its a great addition. Now, I need to run it against the other LMPs.

This car is very capable of being extremely fast, you just have to know how to drive it right. At first I was driving it like any other modern LMP, but it is anything but that. When going through a corner, keep on the gas and it will pull you through, and not have any understeer. You just gotta trust that diff.

There you go fortbo, it took quite a few laps to figure that out myself,, but you've got it. Just have to trust the car. If those of you who look at the TOP DOGS replays, you'll note their posted fastest/quickest lap is always lap 2 or above, which is as is almost always the case,, first lap you get the car sorted out and the tires gripping their best, second lap you let it go and trust it!

I turned my ffb down from 6 to 3. That straight is terrible! But thats the tracks fault, not the cars fault.
My G27 is going to shake loose or overheat. Lol!What triggers the Hybrid to kick in, I've only put a lap in so far but I noticed the battery indicator empties very quickly indeed?

I think the hybrid system triggers at 3rd gear and is done before 4th. Thats how mechanical hybrid systems work. The lead engineer said, "you want the power to get out as fast as it can, as long as the tires can hold it."If you modulate the throttle in some corners it oversteers so bad it feels like yours going to spin out!

Likes wide entries to turn in tight on those tough turns. Once at high speed that aero kicks in and it turns on a dime. I suggest lowering the acceleration value on the lsd to 25 (10/25/18 are my settings). I dropped that high camber on the rear as well. No more 2.5, its at 0.5 like the front.

Is toe angle good default, or should it be changed some?

Depends, I prefer negative but on I'm on a pad do have less lock to start with.

Just done a 2 hour 45min testing stint at midfield raceway and what a great car the GTR LMP1 is tuned to my liking, really suites the track. best lap so far is a 58.2 but my my my im having a right blast with it. this is very quickly be coming my fave racer.

It drives pretty well for a Le Mans special. After an afternoon in an online practice lobby at Le Mans I got down to 3.22.1 with soft tyres on, which is basically last year's pole time irl.
Great traction, fantastic at high speed, expected low speed understeer and super stable on the brakes.

It does handle pretty well for an FWD though.

Ok now to my conclusion, as I'm not a hater of any car, i respect every car, even a Prius (which is a great car actually)
So I was pretty excited about Nissan's project, I give them a big respect of what they brought into live.
I was pretty amazed by the start up sound, the best and most aggressive i've heard in GT6.
Ok got on track. Acceleration is pretty rapid. The electric motor joins the system in 3rd gear, but only in 3rd gear and lasts for only 3 seconds, so until you reach 4th gear.
Well and because it is a FWD car, it feels like it.
But only if you hammer the throttle in a low speed corner.
As Mardenborough said, you have to adapt yourself to the different style this car requires, so did I.
Going very smooth with the throttle makes it very very fast.
Immense braking performance.
And as soon as I got to the Porsche Curves I fell in love.
Through the Porsche Curves in 4th gear and soooooo smooth it's unbelievalble!
All in all it's a mechanical masterpiece and I wish Nissan the best of luck for LM24.
Although I don't think they will win it on the first try, but maybe next season they will be competitive.

After oil change the car jumps in power to 634hp 726lb-ft / 663pp. I tried a couple new settings; dropped camber to 0.2 front and rear, changed dampers to 5/4(compression) 4/3(extension), rear roll bar at 2, toe angle -0.05/0.10, brakes 7/5, lsd at 8/15/12. Went from doing 1:52's on Silverstone to 1:48's (before oil change)!

I'm glad they haven't brought Sebring to GT6 for this car. The thought of that tracks bumps and this cars suspension makes me shudder. Uncomfortable bumper cam view going down the long straight and bouncing about. So bad, I quit with a bronze.
Good looking car and if you can get the power down right, seriously quick.

Throttle and braking control are important with the GT-R LM Nismo. I managed to get a 1:50 on Silverstone, and a 3:35 on Le-Mans.

I have a 3:30.5 in GTacademy. I invalidated a 30.1 I think ill have a 29 in after a hundred more laps.
