I reckon I can get into the 1:55s. Just did a 1:56.395 with a few small errors. The following lap I was .23 faster at the first check point (halfway up the first straight) before I cocked up my braking point and drilled the wall

nice lap mad,

and have to agree. I just watched my replay and massive lock up running wide all the way into turn 2, and a stuff up here and there up around the top.

Also there's probably heaps of time in playing with the suspension

But this is fun, was getting starting to get bored with it but now have something to go for :)

new best time. 1:55.834. i definitely have a mid 1:55 there for the taking, but we are talking no mistakes to do it. on my 1:55 lap i was 0.906 up on my 1:56.395 lap at the final split (halfway down conrod straight). when i saw that come up i just did my best to keep it on the track and was a little bit over cautious into the last corner, and had a small moment up near reid park). the lap before that one i was 0.7 up at the last split and then cut the corner coming out of the chase a whisker too much and got the lap invalidated, so i didn't want to lose my super lap.

oh and i agree about having something to chase. it certainly makes licence test more entertaining as i usually have a crack to get the best time, or at least not the slowest, lol. although on the seasonal event for the ft-1 i did tonight i only did 2 laps to get the gold and couldn't be bothered trying to get a better time.

jeez, fast times in the R35s! i knew it would be quicker than the R34 I chose, but 6.4sec is alot! I just can't bring myself to buy a 35...

Tried an LFA but they just don't make enough power to be competitive. The JZA80 Supra does have the power, but Gran Turismo has never blessed the Supra with any traction at all. In the end they both run about 2:05.

The Honda NSX LM Road Car would probably give it a nudge, but that's not really a stock Japanese production car...

I might try a Z32 for a laugh.

Had a go with the r34 again. Managed to crack into the sub 2 minute bracket. 1:59.289. It was a super tidy lap. Still a tenth here or there to be had, but not much. Found a few lines that seem to work a bit better in a few spots so going to give the 35 another go

New record

Time: 1:55.207

Car: r35 gtr black

There is a 1:54 in that car. I did a 1:55.447 and then did a lap where I was 0.955 up at the last check point but went too cautious into the chase and the last corner and only got a 1:55.295. When I set the .207 lap I also managed to get the 3 magnificent laps trophy as the 2 laps before it were both low 55s. Had a bit of a zone going

1:59.289 in the 34 well done mad.

I got last night

Time: 2:00.580

Car: R33 GTR vspec

Still a pretty messy lap some lines I can do better

Still think I can get high 1:59's. I've kinda mangled the suspension and gear ratio settings so will have to sort that out again.

This is the most fun I've had with gt6 so far. Tried on-line last night and that was unbearable.

Had a bit of a play with my 34's setup and got a 2:00.372

Then gave in an bought an R35 Black. What an animal! 1st lap full power and lightweight mods but stock suspension and driveline, no wing, just the flat floor: 1:58.812. Soooo easy to drive after the R34! Then added clutch, tailshaft and LSD, still on stock suspension & no wing. Went back out and reeled these 3 laps in succession

1:57.367

1:56.714

1:56.015

before almost rolling it at the end of the next lap - don't clip the final kerb at Murray's corner!

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
