Hey guys.

After cracking the PS2 back out and playing Gran Turismo again. Interested to see what peoples best times are. Ive been working on mostly time attacking Tsukuba.

I just cracked into a 41.9 with the formula gran turismo WITHOUT altering power or weight. And im interested to see how that compares to others. Also particulary interested in times people can get in other cars (with no restrictions, i.e qualify tyres and Nitrous are ok).

Lol. 2 of my worst tracks besides the city circuits (just dont like them).

I'll do a bit of work on the Nurburgring with a stock 95 R33 GTR Vspec to see what i can come up with.

(using street soft tyres). Road tyres irritate me. It gives me the feeling of taking a car to the track with the spare tyre and stereo still in the car. (In otherwords. Why would you?? :P )

Still interested what people are getting on Tsukuba. I love that track. Surely there are other fans out there.

Haven't really run the Nurburgring properly but I got addicted to the Tokyo Route: 246 (Normal) track.

Car was a 2002 Honda NSX-R with stage 2 weight reduction, R2/R2 tyres, no nos and horsepower rating of 484bhp (maxed). I managed a best of 1:29.925 after 10 or so attempts. If anyone has beat it then let me know, cause i will pull out the old ps2 and try to better it :D

gotta say man, that is a f**king good time. the best i could manage with that setup was about 1:33 (but i only did about 6 laps). i had to go to stage 3 weight reduction and qualifying tyres to get into the 1:29's (which it only took me 3 laps to do, LOL)

Lol. yeah it took me awhile to get it down to that time. When I said 10 attempts, I meant in 10 different sittings (each sitting could've entailed around 10 laps each try), so it actually took me like a few weeks. Reason why I didn't go nos, stage 3 weight reduction and qualifying tyres was that a 1:29 was very hard to do with that setup so it was a pretty decent challenge, hence why I kept at it until I got it under 1:30. I've still got the replay for that time saved onto the ps2 memory card if you want to check it out. I'm not sure how to get it from the memory card and upload it on to here though. Any ideas?

Ugh, worst car I've used on the game period. So impossible to judge and super twitchy with loads of understeer. 1:32.346 was best I could manage. Tokyo sucks too :P

Nurburgring FTW

You'll have to tweak the suspension and downforce settings etc until they're perfect for your driving style if you want a really good time on that track. Took me a while to get all the settings tuned for high-speed grip and stability as well before I could get anywhere near that time.

now you tell me, LOL

i didn't use nos at all. i will have another go over the weekend sometime. i didn't really play with suspension setups at all.

will have to buy another car since i have done stage 3 weight reduction now. or i will just try and beat it by a decent amount to make up for it, LOL

i used to do the tokyo track all the time in the xr8 v8 supercar a few years back. that was on gt4 prologue. i worked at toyworld and we had it on a demo machine so every afternoon after we had packed up i would do a few laps while the cashup was done. used to be able to do sub 1:30 in it..... i think, LOL. that was about 6 years ago now.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
