congrats, Sam. and I still can't believe that I'm the only one working on 300ZX and trying to get it past 300 mph.. only 5 mph to go.. damn..
 
Sound like you hit wind barrier or something :). Ever try different ride height combination? maybe high front and low rear ride height?
I shall try it today then and let you guys know if it worked tomorrow:) Thanks mate:tup:
And DE,, Must I PM the settings or just post it here?
 
the corner is the problem for me too. it just keeps going towards the wall right after reaching 240mph.. oh well, I'll sort it out someday. or then Team666 will do the same trick as he did with Supra and steals the record right in front of me..:grumpy:

edit: I DID IT!

:crazy:300.81 mph!:crazy: pic will be here later..



and now I must start bombing DE just like everyone else. he needs to update the leaderboard.. AGAIN! :lol:
 
Awesome Leonidae:tup: Just awesome:)

Oh well DE or anybody else here are the settings I mostly use for every car to set a benchmark:) The suspension,, cause my gearing isn't the problem..

I think I'm doing something completely wrong,, but I just can't figure out what:( So I thought maybe you guys could help me out a littlte:)

lower springs as much as possible, jack up the font as much as possible and max you downforce and you´ll see a better speed!

And Leo, thank you for the confidence!=) But I gave up on the Nissan a long time ago, since I do not have a 6.2mi car! Not enough power...
 
Congratulations, Leo!!! I know how much work went into that :cheers:
Long may that stand as the fastest 300ZX on the GTPLanet!

I'll be putting you on the leaderboard as soon as possible :P it's low down the rankings, so it's not too much trouble :dopey:

Thanks for your congratulations, guys. Let's keep it going!

I agree with Team666 as regards your chassis setup, Deathwish - that's exactly what you need to do to gain that last couple of mph! 👍

Hi zocker_16. Sorry to start criticising, but I need all speeds to be in miles per hour. After all, this is the 300mph Club! And, we usually use photos of the Session Record screen, as it's easier to see - I can't read your screenshot. :indiff:
But if you have managed that speed, it requires a video to verify - check the rules in Post #1 for the, uh, rules :)

El Jarretto, nice pair of speeds. Both have more in them, how about going for the 787B's record? :sly:
Two oil changes to be exact. I can try harder for the 787B. Heck, I'd like to get better speed because it's my 2nd favorite LM car next to the R8.

I can make it again in mp/h but I ´can´t make a video because I don´t have any one of this (Xport/Sharkport or Max drive).
Isn´t there another possibilyty?

yup. Get a digital camera that can record video, record it, upload it and post it.
 
Leonidae
I DID IT!
:crazy:300.81 mph!:crazy: pic will be here later..
👍 :) , I wish I can do the same thing for my Supra RZ. I'll try your setting Leonidae 👍.

BTW, DE, my 304.53 is for TVR Speed 12, my Supra RZ still can't reach 300mph :(.
 
Mine either!!!:guilty: and I tried your settings Leo. I can only reach 290 and that's IT, but my RZ has well over 40k miles on it, so I don't know if that's what is holding me from the 300 MPH mark. All I can ask for is ...help please...HEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!:banghead: I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!! I can't believe Leo got his 300ZX at 300MHP!!! congrats men 👍 congrats...:guilty:

OzzyGT, I suggest that you try to find 6.2mile Supra and equip it with all possible stuff, including R5 etc. the used cars with higher mileage have more worn engine which makes them slightly slower especially when attempting to reach ridiculously high speeds. I think that you oculs also try raising the front high, lowering the rear, maximize downforce at rear, dampers and rollbars to maximum and 2.0' camber in front and o.o rear.

oh my, all this fuzz is making me thinking of taking my dear 6.2 mile supra and have a go with it. :D maybe I can snatch fastest supra's title to myself too.

Well, I am a bit better, but enough to make me pull my hair, 299.01 mph :ouch:.
And I have such a problem controlling tail slide in high speed that make me use the cheapest way, 12.0/0.0 camber :P. Maybe caused by 7.5/3.5 spring ?

tailslide?? Are using any downforce? I had trouble turning the thing properly all the way through the turn, and not the other way around! My problem was caused by a 0/max downforcesetting, wich works well in a straight line, but gets a bit uneasy while turning. You can turn, it´s not that, but the immense speed makes the car understeer somewhat. Amend with R5 tyres and 4-7 stabilisers.

Oops, I don't know that this car can have downforce :dunce: (beginner mistakes :lol:). I don't see race mods so I thought we can't change the downforce (:lol: I mixed up GT4 with GT2 :P). I forgot that to use downforce we need to buy wing for it :dopey:..........
 
WOW...

This thread exploded since I last visited!

Congrats Leonidae to break the 300mph barrier in your 300ZX!

So I wanted to clarify something

Raising the front and lowering the back as much as possible is better for top speed? Doesnt that increase the chance of wheelie and increase drag?

Same with the spring rate; make it soft (all the way to the left) as much as possible on both front and rear is better?

Does camber angle, stabilizer bars, bound shocks and rebound shocks, etc affect the top speed also?

Its confusing....

P.S. I'll think up of some strange car to bring to 300mph one day. ONE DAY. Now, I'm thinking...:lol:

a wing would definatley help. also, when you buy it make sure you max out downforce too...alos a n00b mistake (that i once made too)
