350Z! Alright! I love this car and have been meaning to break out but never got the chance. Even though I'm stoked about it, I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to spend on it. Work is busy right now, and I need to find a new job. Also starting to look into some tech colleges (I say this but I doubt anything will really get done). Plus, my first autocross this Saturday! Weee! But I'll try to put in some time behind the wheel.

Lap 1...
T3: 58.341

Lap 2...
T3: 51.727
 
Hi everyone, I'll be back this week I think. I had the flu for the past 5 days and I'm finally feeling better. I ran last night and got all of my tuning finished so I'll post my setup for anyone wanting to try it out. I think my best T3's so far were around 57.6 lap 1 and 50.9 lap 2, but no clean save yet. I've got a run with one slight wheel off that has met my goal already so I just have to get a similar clean one saved and I'll be done I think.:D
Here's my setup, I wont be changing it as it came out perfect (for me at least:P )

7.0/10.0
60/65
10/10/10/10
2.0/2.5
0.0/0.0
7/7

18/24 brakes

5/35/10 LSD

Auto 30 trans

TCS=1
ASM=0

Any feedback on this setup is welcome, and/or I can help anyone adjust it if they would prefer more under/oversteer or whatever. Later...:cool:
 
Well I'm in there with the second lap times but I really gotta figure the first corner properly. Inside or outside? Go inside and it's a real squeeze not to dink the GT1, go outside and desperately try to avoid the GT40 going wide. I still dunno which is best....

Oh, and damn that hairpin... i just cant get out of it quick. This car has a greasier back end than a 50's rockers hairstyle ;)
 
First order of business; getting the car. Second order of business; getting the money to tune the car. Third order of business; tuning the car. Fourth order of business; racing the car.
 
First Complete Race:
Lap 1
T1: '18.938
T2: '32.512
T3: '59.932

Lap 2
T1: '12.300
T2: '26.246
T3: '52.595

There are some places that can be improved on, but i'd say it's an ok start.

*EDIT*
T1: '18.593
T2: '32.064
T3: '58.435

T1: '12.332
T2: '25.742
T3: '52.243
 
Now I have a clean save:

Lap 1
T1: 18.8
T2: 32.5
T3: 59.5

Lap 2
T1: 11.8
T2: 25.8
T3: 51.9

I´m going to try your settings, CFM, but I think that I have ideal settings for me.
 
I've been trying CFM's setup but it's a bit too soft for me.
Got it handling a bit more suitable for me but i get a lot of juddering suspension bounce, especially coming out of the tight 'hairpin' just before T3. I can't seem to get rid of it... grrr.
Tried changing the damper setting but totally screwed the handling! I think I really need to get me head around what does what as far as suspension settings go. Especially as it seems to be a little different depending on the car.
Oh well. Back to the joypad.
 
As Im back now from blowing up my PC, and starting to enjoy GT again, I reckon I may have a crack at this
 
Sorry guys im off to frineds house on saturday (friday for US) and i dont have enough time for this week and maybe next week (see what happens) as i wont be retureing until thursday.
 
Lap 1
T1 = 18.735
T2 = 32.235
T3 = 59.310

Lap 2
T1 = 11.961
T2 = 25.644
T3 = 51.244
 
CFM, I tried your settings. A little too "drifty" for me. I´m not sure can I go any faster than my clean save without a miracle :)

I had the same problem so stiffened it up (as I mentioned erlier).
These are the settings I'm using and it's made the car a lot sharper, you might find it a bit more to your liking although I'm sure there's room for improvement yet:
Springs: 15/16
Height: 60/65
Dampers: 8/8/10/10
Camber: 2.2/2.2
Toe: 0/0
Stabiliser: 7/7
Brakes: 18/24
Gear: auto 30 with final at 2.55 and all gears pulled in a bit.
LSD: 5/25/10
ASM & TCS at 1

It's still a bit 'bouncy' coming out the hairpin but it's not too bad.
Let me know if it helps (cos that'll help ME know if I'm on the right tack)
 
I'll post my setting later if I get time cos I got my times with relative ease, they were my 3rd attempt, my first attempt was close to that.
 
CFM, I just won the car and am just starting racing with it. I must say that your setup makes the inherrent oversteer problem worse. I couldn't get around that tight chicane once without spinning out. I'm currently running neil's setup and finding it rather smoother (although I miss a little bit of that slide as it lets the car turn more).

Blimey!
I'm doing must be doing something right for a change 👍
I'm still not entirely happy with the setup myself but I think I'm getting there :D
 
Just ran my very first 2laps
Lap 1
T1: 19.169
T2: 33.870
T3: 1'007.39

Lap 2
T1: 12.328
T2: 26.324
T3: 52.760
 
18.755 32.582 58.982
11.759 25.767 52.359

I've seen a few 51.9s but not in my best clean races. Don't know if I'll get a chance to improve on this. Another busy weekend looming. Looks like I'm slow in the third sector. Could be the hairpin, but I think it's more likely the big 180 right after the T2. Might have to tweak the gears a little to carry that one in 4th.
 
Yaaay, just got an email telling me my x-port is on the way... soon everyone can actually SEE my laughable driving instead of imagining it :)

I know it's not particularly relevant to this thread but I been waiting for it for ages and just had to tell someone...
 
hippyneil, I tried your settings, but I am still faster with my own:

Springs: 9/13
Height: 55/55
Dambers: 5/5/5/5
Camber: 2,0/1,0
Toe: 0/0
Stabiliser: 5/6
Brakes: 15/15
Gears: Auto 30
 
This is great fun. It's my 7th on-line-race and all the others have been hot laps. This arcade racing giving it an extra dimension. Furthermore I love Apricot Hill and the Z Concept is extremely fun to drive with it's happy tail. :D

After a few sessions I'm quite satisfied with my times, but I can still see some tenth here and there.

This is my best clean race till now:
19.535 33.175 59.776
12.127 25.777 52.522
 
Best lap in free run so far is a 1'15.469, and I'm about to take it on the course with a the other cars...

Translated a faster lap in the race, Here're my T times:
19.309 32.963 59.517
12.062 25.573 51.869

Pretty quick times, I'm hoping to see some 1'14 lap-times before the week is done...
 
Dude, No Final Lap Times

Edit and clean that post up asap.
