last night i did a 52.754.

couldn't be bothered doing it anymore..... until someone goes faster. now i'm going to see what the fastest lap i can do is. my current best in the skyline is a 47 second lap. that was the second lap i did on qualifying slicks. only did 2 laps to get that, and it was with all the settings i used on the sports tyres.

then i cracked out the polyphony and did a 44 second lap. then had a look at the records and my best is a low 42. going to try to get into the 41's... then the 40's, then the 39's.

yeah that last corner is a killer when you're on a good lap - ahead of the ghost car and only 1 coner to go... My normal mistake when trying too hard is to leave the braking slightly too late and just run off the outside of the turn...

umm, I've done a 52.693 :rolleyes:

well i see your 52.693 and raise you with a 52.529. then i use my special ability and get a 52.174. i'm on fire tonight. the 52.174 seem like a slow lap cause i wasn't all over the place. did finish it on the grass though. got on the gas a bit early out of the last corner.

don't think i'll be able to get any better than that, but going to try!!

and i did beat it!!! a 52.033, followed up straight away by a 51.474.

in a r34 gtr (its bayside blue, maybe if it was red i could go faster) on soft street tyres, no nos, but with a wing.

turns out i had been hitting the limiter in 6th down the back straight. i had been too busy looking for the braking marker that i hadn't noticed.

i have just been on fire all night. i had done heaps of 52.8 and 52.9's. over the past few days i have probably done over 300 laps. tonight alone i have done at least 80 laps. i think that is all i can do. i really don't tink i can go any faster on street tyres with that car.

also in turn 3, brake earlier so you accelerate through the corner rather than out of it. you should come out of it in the middle of the road, not out on the ripple strip. this gives you a better run into turn 4 and you don't slide so much. i use the fast in, fast out technique for cornering. i don't take nice even bends. i turn them into double apex turns. you end up with higher tops speeds at the end of the straights.

also if i don't get a good run out of the last corner, i don't bother trying for the next lap. i'll putt around and focus on getting the best run out of the last corner so that i cross the start line as fast as posible.

;) that's too good for me! I can't see me going much faster. I did a 52.625 last night before going out, and run pretty consistently in the high 52s now unless I have an off, but I can't see myself getting anywhere near those times. then again, most laps I ever do before I've had enough is around 10-15. I don't have your powers of concentration - or patience?

mind posting your suspension, gearing and LSD settings? I wouldn't mind having a run with your setup to see if I can go faster.

will do tonight.

i know a few off the top of my head. the lsd is stock, downforce is set to max, gear ratios are stock, but the one that shortens or lengthens them is set to about 9, suspension is the stock racing suspension setup, no brake controller, traction contol set to 1, understeer set to 7, oversteer set to 3. this makes you go into the corner sideways, then you just gently get on the gas and drive out of the corner well.

also think about how your line out of that corner affects the next corner. this is only really important for corners 2-3 and 3-4.

that 51 second lap was a freak lap. i don't think i could do it again. i could do the low 52's again, but not the 51.

i also found switching off the ghost helps a little, simply for the fact that if you get a slightly worse run out of one corner it blocks your vision of the braking spots.

I tried that last night - I was way slower than my setup with diffs and suspension tuned/setup for the car. The traction control (or one of them) interferes too much with getting power down and it can't match my 52.625 ghost car out of corners no matter what I try. It doesn't seem to brake as well either - seems like the understeer control interferes with braking as you turn into a corner, which is a real problem for the final RH sweeper. I have to brake a fair bit earlier than my other setup just to stay on the road there. That 51.474 (and even the 52.0 and 52.1) times you set are very impresssive. do you do any online racing with one of the granturismo boards? I used to race online with granturismobynumbers - won a few too.

no. maybe i should.

as for the traction control, i found that with it off i was getting too much sideways sliding accelerating out of corners. will have another go without it tonight if the missus doesn't get up me.

Gave the game another crack tonight after a long absence -

Went from:

- 52.285

- to 52.242

- to 52.097

- then 51.889

On street tyres (no driving aids except traction control set to 2) & Wing.

Consistantly doing low 52's - hopefully i can break that record of yours soon, mad082 :w00t:

Steve.

also the other regulation is that it must be a road car, not race car. and it must be japanese.

No probs (my 45.999 was done with the r34 road car: R34 M-Spec Nur '02, but with racing soft tyres)....gave it another crack last night with the same car, just street soft tyres, wing, no NOS and some traciton control aid -

Best result: 51.468 :(

Should be able to squeeze a bit more off that tonight :(

Cheers,

Steve.

you will have to post up you suspension settings, and other mods.

OK, no problems - These are my only modifications to the road car (R34 GT-R M-spec Nur '02):

-Power: 874kw

-Tyre Type: Sports

F: sports/soft

R: sports/soft

-Turbine Kit: Original

-Brakes: Racing Brakes

-Racing Large Intercooler

-Driving Aids: TCS Controller = 2, the rest are 0

-Full cust. gearbox: auto settings set to 9. No other ratio changes

-SUSPENSION SETTINGS: Original Suspension

spring rate: F 11.0 R 13.0

ride height: F 72 R 72

damper: F 7 R 8

damper B: F - R -

damper R: F - R -

camber angle: F 5.0 R 3.0

toe: F 0 R 0

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
