874, 852 - my R34 only has 822bhp! and I bought it brand new, ran it for 100km and changed the oil. also had to change it again recently at 470-ish km because it dropped down to 780odd bhp. I'll have to give one of those M-Spec Nur's a try.

I have improved my time, but in a different car - Tommykiara ZZII 52.223. still no challenge to you 2 running 51's. Its a bit dissapointing really - a car that weighs just 1000kg and has 970ish bhp should be way faster than the R34 GTR at nearly 1300kg and 822bhp... I've got 1000bhp in it now after doing 100km last night I gave it the first oil change, and will have another go sometime over the weekend and try some more fine tuning of the setup. You guys might be stupidly fast with that car!

I'm not going to resort to traction aids to get into the 51's. I've always run with 0 traction aids and I'm not about to start now. Actually I lie, that Toyota 7 race car is undriveable without the TCS set to 1 - what a machine!

are you guys using NOS? something else I've never used except on a few old yankee muscle cars in a strange GT4 drag racing phase I went through :laugh:

i'm not using gas. might have to have a go at the ZZII tonight (shows how much of a life i have - playing the sony on a friday night).

my big problem is that i usually cross the finish line with 2 wheels on the grass.

Good luck with the ZZII guys.

Clocked a new fast lap last night at Tsukuba:

51.343

This was with the traction control set to 1 and NO gas - Man is it a handfull! Bit too difficult with traction set to 0, i think i was in the low 52's with it off.

No shot tonight though, going out :laugh:

i forgot what sort of car it was that i was going to try, so i just used the gtr again. ran a 51.3xx, then a 51.081 then a 51.063. so close to the 50's i could cry.

then i was pissed off when i put slicks on and only went 2 seconds faster. i kept braking way too early, and going slow round corners.

tsukuba super lap IRL is for (JDM) tuned road cars on sports tyres.

I can't remember a twin engined Suzuki Escudo (Vitara 4WD) Pikes Peak (Dirt Trial) car being sold for road use either... just to make it clear, because my earlier post about that car seems to have been mis-interpreted. That is not a tuned road car. Pikes Peak specials are some of the most highly developed and specialised race cars around. If the game calls it a race car, rally car, or dirt trial car, its fairly obvious it's not a normal road car, isn't it?

Actually technically the rules of Superlap battle are there are two main classes (plus the RWD, AWD, FWD etc) one being street meaning they still run factory A\C(if factory supplies it), Cat etc. The other class is open class and pretty much everything goes, one thing is they must run radial tyres. Its also not restricted to Japanese cars are since MCR retired their R34 after splitting the block they took to Porsche and tried it. Needless to say their porsche wasn;t as successful as their R34 GTR :)

Sorry i was just reading old threads. Also is there anyway to verify some of these times as their getting blindly quick!!! I sure as hell can't match 'em (maybe I'm just a shithouse driver :P )

is there any physical way to record some of these lap replays and put onto a pc? anyone know?

there's a device called 'Action Replay' you can get for about $50 IIRC. Pretty much mandatory in online racing to verify your times.

Tommykiara ZZII 52.223. still no challenge to you 2 running 51's. Its a bit dissapointing really - a car that weighs just 1000kg and has 970ish bhp

just fired up the playstation again to have another lap and realised I'd stuffed up here - the ZZII is 1000kg and 870bhp. still should be way faster than it is IMO.

NSX Prototype LM Road Car is 1230kg and has 1005bhp!!! I've done a 52.338 in it, but its very difficult to keep on the road. I reckon I get about 1 in 10 laps without an off somewhere! taily under brakes and just a hard car to drive - on this track anyway.

GTR Concept (Tokyo Show) '01 is another fast car 1294kg and 815bhp (I think). 52.573

that's my top 3 cars at the moment.

Arg I hate these "modified" challenges

I turn my PS2 on and get all g'd up to do up a car to high heaven and try this challenge but after I look at my GT4 bank account (11mil) the tightarse in me decides I can't be stuffed spending a quarter of a million bucks doing up a car.

:D

On that note, what is everyone's % completed for GT4?

I'm up to 95.2%

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
