Hmm.. gonna have to see what I can do.. might bust some out later..

Anyone using a steering wheel??

Throttle control will def be a huge factor of trying not to break traction out of corners..

we have a new winner. the escudo on street tyres. 50.768 seconds. and it could be better. i'd say you could possibly get low 50's, or possibly even a high 49 is you have reflexes of steel. then i drove a '00 gtr with a bit of work done. did a 55 something. it handled like a blue whale in concrete after driving the escudo.

Times I've done so far ...

Mine's R34 GT-R - Fully Modded - 0'50.759

Amuse CArbon R - Fully Modded - 0'51.443

'97 R33 GTR (Non Vspec) - Full Modded - 0'52.188

Thats the only skylines one's I've done that are worth mentioning, only other Nissan one thats been faster than those is R92CP with a - 0'48.218

EDIT - sorry some of these times were with full slicks :no: But no NOS :laugh:

fark nice time for a 33gtr!! am watching bathurst now and its got me hell in the mood for time attack!

Yeah ws flicking over while the pace car was out :( Took about 15 goes to get the laptimes down to that. Do people do the laps themselves or use the B-Spec driver? Cause my driver is shit :whistling:

come on guys, sports tyres only!!!!! and this thread is for gt4 only!!

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?

R34 GTR N1 Vspec2 (The one with the carbon bonnet from the factory...*drools*) I did a 54.239...but having read about the LSD making things worse I may be in for somthing lower soon!

Oh and Harry this car makes a bit over 800hp with the same turbo and stuff as your R32 so maybe try and track one of these down :(

The biggest problem I have is crappy brakes :wave: what settings to people run on the brakes?? Or do you not bother touching them?

yeah I've used an R34 GTR (base model GTR) and got just over 800bhp. I've since been trying the full race LSD and setting the front up loose and rear tight, and it seems to improve the traction without hurting the handling, but my lap times don't really show it...

ok, well cranked up the old '00 r34 gtr last night. got a 52.936 but can definately go faster. it was about 1am this morning and i was tired as anything. the handling could use some serious tuning though. i reakon just setup how it is i could manage a mid 52. a few laps after i did that best one i was 0.3xx faster at the second split over that 52.936, but i lost it on the last corner.

going to try some more cars tonight, such as the amuse carbon r, an n1 gtr, and a rx7. going to try to get to the low 52's, or even a high 51 would be nice.

that inspired me to get my 822bhp R34 GTR V SpecII back on the track to see if I could beat my earlier 53.007. I did three 52 second laps this afternoon - 52.894, 52.821 and a 52.693! I don't think I can go any faster - that was a pretty damn good lap!

i got another 52 second lap last night, but it was slower than my best. the pressure gets to me and i lose it on the last corner. after i did that lap the next lap i was 0.3 up at the 2nd split, but screwed up the last corner. after doing the amount that i have, i think the best i could do is about a 52.7, but i would have to do a perfect lap, so i doubt its going to happen.

    • Right.  I'll try my best at a concise "bring you up to speed" on stuff that may be missing here - obviously open to questions or further input from others as relevant. Here's a datalog from a responsive turbo setup with electronic boost control being used a bit, to keep it simple I've marked 3 points of interest.  All of these charts are on the same time scale on the X-axis, so you can reference what engine rpm is doing in the top graph, boost and EMAP (exhaust backpressure) in the second graph, and turbo rpm in the bottom graph. A) The turbo gets it's power from exhaust gas, and pumping air takes work.  As a result you can't just spin a turbo with a fixed amount of exhaust energy and expect it to keep spooling - the bigger the turbo (ie, the more air it can push) the more exhaust energy you need to drive it.   The most obvious ways of getting more exhaust energy are by adding displacement, adding boost, or adding rpm - but as you add any of these the turbo also needs to do a bit more work so there is a big balance of these things needed to even get to your target boost and sometimes that's not even possible. What you can see in step "A" is that there isn't enough engine rpm or boost to reach the level we want, so this is where "lag" is.  The dyno run continues and rpm increases, which gives enough energy to increase boost, which helps spool  the turbine speed up even more - so you can see that the rate that the boost (and turbo speed) are starting to ramp up faster than the engine rpm is, so turbo is really starting to wake up as the graph gets closer to point B....   B) At this point we've been able to reach the boost that is actually desired at this point.   To stop the boost from going further than this the wastegate will open and bypass gas past the turbine, meaning it doesn't continue accelerating at the point it was before but instead carry on at a more progressive rate which matches what the engine needs.   The wastegate will have a spring in it which is rated to a specific pressure where it will start bypassing, but electronic boost control (managed by the ECU) can adjust how much pressure the spring sees in order to allow some tunability on how much boost the wastegate actually sees, and therefore how much exhaust it bypasses.   The tune in this case stops boost from ramping up HARD at around 21-22psi just before 4000rpm, then as the rpm continue it allows boost to continue up to around 25psi higher in the rpm.   You can see the turbo speed fairly steadily increases through the rpm to ensure it's keeping up with the increasing airflow demand due to the engine speed being higher and boost being pretty steady.   If the boost dropped off after a point then you may see the turbo speed level off or even drop.   C) You can see that despite the boost pressure staying pretty flat here, the exhaust pressure is steadily increasing and at this stage has overtaken boost pressure.   This isn't unusual, and is largely as a result of the increasing energy needed by the turbo to pump more and more air to suit the needs of the engine as it revs out further.   There are a bunch of variables in regards to how much back pressure there will be on a given turbo etc, but its one of the factors we manage when sizing and tuning a turbo setup.   When exhaust back pressure starts exceeding boost pressure you will eventually start seeing signs that the turbo is running out, the engine gets less keen to make more power and it gets harder to raise boost further. In this case it's a fairly acceptable compromise for the power level (around 630kw on a 3litre engine with full boost by 4000rpm), but you'd not want to push it a lot harder than this.  The maximum speed rated for the compressor wheel on this setup is around 125,000rpm so you can see its starting to get close on that side as well - I feel like this kind of illustrates some of the turbo related things we both decide on how far to push, and are also limited to how far we can push depending on the parts combination. Hope this helps more than it confuses things  
    • For that influx of Spammers we had I made no pic posting and no PM's for first ten posts. This is group based and I've manually updated @Beanie to the Members group which will open up the images and PM's. 
    • Thx for the reassuring reply. I’ve got above legal clearance  going in for roadworthy Friday… fingers crossed it’s keeping me awake  bloody nanny state 
    • I was actually going to try and dig out a datalog with turbine speed and EMAP haha
    • Wait until @Lithium posts a compressor map and tries to explain what's going on. There is a strong possibility that the OP lives in a digital world and is not comfortable with analogue machines. A turbo is just about as analogue as it gets, with plenty of non-linear behaviours added in on top. Most of us who think we know how they work are actually only getting by on 2nd and 3rd order mental models that abstract away from the actual physics and bring it back to the sort of kindergarten level concepts we can hold in our heads. This is important when you need to hold 10 such concepts in your head at the same time. You need to reduce the complexity of the individual concepts to allow them to be simultaneously held and manipulated. Too much complexity in the base models makes it very difficult to make them work with each other mentally.
