Hi All,

I'm having real trouble completing the Driving Mission #23 in GT4.

It's the slipstreaming one using R34 GTRs. One is miles in front while the others hang around in a pack. I've tried dragging the pack along for three laps but never get within 3 secs. I've also tried ditching the pack and going it alone but my best is 2.7 secs behind the leader. Any suggestions?

I need this to win the Pagini Zonda.

What worked for me was at the start you slipstream them all and get in front. When in front, stay on the same racing line that they take. It will take them a while to catch up, and then just let them pass you and keep slipstreaming and passing etc... Then the last corner you get a good slipstream and past the pack and you should be able to get onto the back of the first skyline and pass him.

I tried everything else at first and then tried that and first time I did, I won :headspin:

Was at it again last night and just took the red GTR out of the pack and tried slipstreaming this car alone. The others hung back slightly behind us.

I got closer, 1.7secs behind, but still no cigar, no Zonda, and no happy, happy, joy, joy dance. :D

yea, yea that is a tough one...I tried a few different things, but nothing worked. I picked a car and just pushed it around the track, I tried to make the other cars get in my slip-stream and boost ahead, I tried driving after the leader....all no good :D

I only got within 4secs of the lead car...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having trouble with this one !! It's been driving me around the bend :hellpisd: ( no pun intended ).

The best I was able to do was 1.14 sec off the lead car by slip-streaming the pack & sling shotting past at max speed and then running the inner line of the track as smooth as possible until the very last bend & trying to slip-stream the lead car. But as yet ( after about 30 tries ) no joy :)

I don't get it. I slip-stream them from the start and sling shot past them, I then stay on the race line but they never catch up to me. When they start getting close it's usually leading into one of the corners and then the poofs back off !! It's really starting to pi$$ me off.

I really think they should have a road rage version of GT4 where ( in this case ) you can run the other Skylines in the pack off the road if they don't drive fast enough and then drag the driver out of the car and stomp on his / her head until you feel better. Or just combine GT4 with GTA San Andres and while you're racing you can mow the mo-fo down with a hail o 9mm's. :rofl:

Thanks for the help. I got it :jump: and then nailed every other mission right after up to the last one where you have to drive that piece of crap, lounge chair merc around N/B/Ring. Still working on that one.

I still think the mission was crap cause who really comes belting into a corner and stabs the brake's ???? For that matter, why would anyone in an R34 GT-R lift off the loud pedal ??? Or anyone in a Skyline for that matter ??? :D

Yay!! I did it about an hour ago, here's some pointers. They work, trust me:

1 - NEVER try to go too fast past the other cars, keep it to about 275kph when you go past them, this will mean you will still give them your slipstream, meaning they can then get back past you & you pass them again, repeat repeat etc etc.

2 - The third yellow line (the one you start on), try to keep your right hand wheels on this for as much of the course as you can, as this is the main line & it will keep them behind you as much as possible.

3 - Most of the time the AI won't move to overtake you, so if you are going straight look behind you & move out of the way as late as possible to give them a higher speed. Usually move to the right, because they usually prefer the left.

4 - Early on, or even at all, avoid colliding with the other cars because they seem to take it personally (against each other too), and will ram you back, slowing the whole thing down.

5 - I won by 2.8s trying these tactics first shot, I had always kept the same line, but never a lower speed.

6 - Don't get angry that you only get 10k for winning, when most of you have probably spent a couple of hours trying to get this one done. ;)

Dude when you finish the NB RING can you come and do it for me???? :confused:

This track is giving me the sh*ts!

My controller almost went through the TV the other day!!!!!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
