[blindsidefive0]

I tried searching but couldn't find this...if it's already out there, please just re-direct me.

I'm looking to "build" a Tuned 370z to the exact specs of the GT Academy Tuned 370z. Could someone who already has a GT-Academy Tuned 370z please write down the following info for the DEFAULT settings:

Overall:
Max Power
Max Weight
Performance Points

Modifications (which ones are already installed in stock form):
Body/Chassis - weight reduction, chassis reinforcement, window weight reduction, carbon hood
Engine - Engine tuning, ECU tuning
Intake System - Sports Intake Manifold, Air Filter
Exhaust - exhaust, exhaust manifold, catalytic converter
Turbo/Superchargers - turbo, supercharger
Transmission
Drivetrain - clutch, flywheel, drive shaft, LSD
Suspension
Tires
Aero (from GT Auto) - front, rear, extension, wing
Wheels (from GT Auto)
Oil Change (does max power above reflect an oil change?)

Settings/Alignment (please specify default settings)
Aero - front, rear
Weight adjustment - ballast amount, position
Engine - power limiter
Transmission - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, final gear, top speed
Drivetrain - LSD - initial, acceleration sensitivity, braking sensitivity
Suspension - ride height, spring rate, dampers ext, dampers comp, roll bars
Alignment - camber, toe
Brakes - front, rear

I would greatly appreciate any information, especially just the modifications. I would even be willing to trade a car just for this info If someone just wants to trade a GT-Academy Tuned 370z, let me know and that could be an option.

Cheers.

Wow, amazing - thanks for putting this up right away. You literally made my day. I'm going to build one ASAP to see how it compares.

THIS is why is awsome - because of people like you 👍👍

You're welcome. I'm interested to see if this works.

Update - so I played around with a few cars trying to get this exact. To get to the right power I used a stage 2 NA engine tune. The sound of the cam was perfect, so I'm pretty sure we nailed it with one exception...

We got super close - a friend of mine did some laps with me in a real tuned 370z at Indy. Both of us just ran this course endlessly for GT-Academy so it was a good course to compare. There's basically one main issue - front downforce. Lap times were within a second between the my car and his car. Essentially my car was faster on the straights because it didn't have enough downforce, while his car turned in better and had better balance because he had front downforce.

If you look at the front of the 370z and the tuned 370z, the body parts are identical. However, for some magical GT5 reason, you can adjust front downforce on the tuned 370z... There's nothing to adjust, but PD just "added" that attribute to the car. Even when you add additional front aero pieces, you still can't adjust the front downforce in the same way.

Conclusion - you can get close, and the car I built is certainly good enough to practice with for the next round of GT Academy. However, because of the lack of adjustable front downforce, the 2 cars can never be made equal.

VTiRoj - thanks again for sending over the tune/mods. This was super helpful, and fun to play around with.
