Hey man, how do you go about setting your gearbox for this tune? I feel dumb asking considering nobody else is but I'm not sure what to do. I'm sitting at a 1:45.995 lol

EDIT: I added GTPCARSHARE (to whoever runs that account)
ld love to tell you but I don't really know myself was a case of do a lap adjust the gears do a lap tweak some more and can't remember how I was at start best I can say is I normally reset gear box to default adjust final gear to around 4600 then set max speed to 124 then do the gear individually
 
Well you are really going to be mad now, added a bit more wing and 124 ballast to get a 1:45.483 and messed up sector three some over driving the tunnel and "S" turns before the straight. Thanks for sharing your tune.....great fun sliding the Dome around this TT. See you on the leader board and friends list. I'm sure you will beat my time this weekend.
Thanks for the input I'll give it a go tomorrow very impressive time thou I knew my tune had a lot of time left in it with the scrappy lap I put in

GTPCARSHARE is my sharing account :) I believe I have you on my GTP_Orido as well :) Be sure to try the shared Raybrig, it may work well with Takata Dome tune shared a few pages back. For gearbox, be sure to hit close to rev limit in top gear at the end of main straight just before braking for the 1st turn. The raybrig shared has a basic tune on it that should get into 1:46s.

Thanks for adding me bud as i say new to gt.
The physics are so different to what i'm used to on forza,having a hard time with it so far can't even get under the 52 mark lol
 
Stewripper's Takata Dome 03 handles like a dream. Thanks for sharing. Time to dust off my DFGT and see how well I can do. I'm no alien.

The process of adjusting the final gear and then the top speed before setting the individual gears is all I needed to know. Thanks!

Haha ohhh, that you do. 👍 I take it you put the same cars on share for both accounts? If that's the case you can just delete the FR that I sent to the GTPCARSHARE account.

EDIT: went from a 1:45.995 to a 1:45.157 with dirty oil.

No problem mate all about trying to help go faster my tunes abit on tail happy on exit thou it's still very predictable to control

Yeah much more predictable than others. Throttle control is key, as usual with the Super GT cars. Very fast on entry so worth a try for anybody looking for another tune. I'll need to spend more time with it after I get a better rhythm down for the course.

A small improvement today from 1.47.740 now 1.47.690 :) that was with a change of car to Takata Dome.
At least its's going the right way. I need help with tuning to match my style, i like the car to be stable as possible.
Trouble is i find that invariably stable can mean slower, some tracks it goes the other way.
Still more practice is what is needed will try again later determined to get to 1.46s.
Selection of cars on share for this tt psn stewyripper
Later people.
Be lucky.
:gtpflag:

Yeah, unfortunately stable usually means slower. I'm finally catching up to you with a 1:47.729. I got a lot of work to do to set sail on a 1:46 tho...little at a time 👍

Go get em'! :cheers:

My Orido account do not have the car as the raybrig was from another different account that I have since before release of GT5, I have added you and others who sent FR on the GTPCARSHARE account 👍 Honestly can't wait to see the Raybrig compete with the Takata Dome, in the hands of quick drivers, it should do wonders. I have "seen/inspected" the tune and specs of the current top 3, "Pilot" at the top, and I think the Raybrig can hold on its own against it ( power/weight spec and downforce wise )
 
Hello to all!
I have on my profile the TAKATA DOME NSX '03 for share for anyone who does not have it!
PSN: MFSHARE
Have a nice day!
 
I want one that has over 15000km. Thanks Anyway alex0801
This is for anyone, but how much of a boost are you getting with the dirty oil version? Can someone provide some numbers please?

Back in the day, it used to be good for about 15 extra HP at about 15,000 miles. After that, the HP gains are few and far between, so not really worth the effort of endless grinding. Not sure how much has changed though with all the recent updates.
 
From my testing, dirty oil doesn't work on this one as you need to fit a turbo to get to the PP rating which then gives relatively too much torque vs power (I've got a couple of Takata's, one clean, one dirty).

Here's some settings (good for a 1'44.1 and 28th).

Takata Dome NSX '03
Part fitted: Engine stage 3
Power level: 93.4%

It's pretty much as fast with the rear wing at 60, but I like the balance with a bit less... still losing .3 to Immortal in each sector though :lol:

Thanks for your input Stotty, good to know. I was also having my doubts about dirty oil working on this one, just haven't had time to do any testing.
 
Gained almost 3 tenths this morning to 1:47.456. Car is decent, driver is havin' a blast (at the moment lol ...long way to go!)

Thanks to all for their input, tunes and car shares! :gtpflag:

Thnx for the tune Chris. Gave it a couple laps to get the feel and felt pretty good :). Can see myself doing low 44 with.

Thought the Fuji tune would do good but it doesn't, had an awesome tune for that seasonal and had an great result then. Glad you came up with one.

Thanks for the tune, jumped from 1.47.666 to 1.46.688 within two laps:):):) Got some work to do tomorrow, many thanks stewy.
 
Great improvement everyone, looks to be a competitive and fun event. Haven't made time for this one yet, except for my initial run, still putting the bulk of my time into finishing up the WRS TT. Will take another run in that event after the NASCAR race before putting some serious time into this one probably starting tomorrow. I'll post any advice/tuning setups I come up with at that time if anyone is interested. Keep the pedal down and keep reaching for the top. 👍

Cheers mate :cheers::cheers: Great setup :bowdown:

At Last with your help ive Managed a mid 1:45 :cheers:
I was stuck for 2 days trying with my setup skills ( havent got any:scared:) driving 1:46 Times. Lucky You posted Great tune. I Allmost have up.
Thanks again:gtpflag::gtpflag::gtpflag:

Hey Stotty, Looks like your tune is a hit!! THANKS FOR POSTING :cheers:

After just a few laps w/ it > up to 1:47.120 with ease! 👍

That's why I love :gtplanet:

Edit/Update: Bumped it up a bit more to 1:47.062. Need better timing on entry here and there .. learning to know where I can step it up (w/ out killing the next turn/section) to gain some time .. over all a great day.

May I also add, that it also depends on the car engine power and torque numbers, for cars with much higher torque that are in disadvantage to compete within certain PP limit, having more mileage gives more room to have less torque while having more HP when certain upgrade parts fitted ( high rpm turbo, exhaust/catalytic converter/ECU or engine tuning )

For example, My raybrig with high mile has 528HP with 1150kg and 40/60 downforce at 600PP, while torque is pretty high at over 400ft lb.

For Takata Dome which already at advantage against most SuperGT or JGTC cars, having more miles it pretty much pointless, and just for a hint, one of the top 5 car has pretty low mile ( less than 700 mile ) :D

May I suggest to max the downforce, install high rpm turbo instead engine tuning if you have a spare Takata Dome, put more ballast at just over 1200+Kg perhaps, or simply increase engine power ( less power limiter ) at around 530+HP and 1200+kg - from my testing on Raybrig, this seems to give more top end speed without too much impact on handling.

I tweaked your tune to my liking and went from a 1:45.013 to a 1:44.697 within 3 laps which places me at 69th 👍 I see another 2-3 tenths with ease. Thanks
 
This is for anyone, but how much of a boost are you getting with the dirty oil version? Can someone provide some numbers please?
I was wrong saying I need a car over 15000km so I borrow glitch Takata Dome NSX '03 that has done over 60000km and I say that Takata Dome '03 with a few km is a lot better.

I have on share Takata Dome NSX '03 that has done 0km but it needs to be set up.
