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.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
