Anyone game enough to try my 350z? Especially good w/ TX Wheel

[xx_Sneeky]

So I’ve been doing a bit of playing around with tunes lately and thought I’d try out a 350z. So I did, and I found it to be my favourite car to date. It’s hellishly quick at times, but I can still get it to flick around nicely, and I’ve been able to hold some crazy smooth high angle drifts. It’s not perfected by any means yet and I’m still finding places to tweak. But I figured I’d post up how I’m going and see what you all think. Alternatively it is available on my storefront.

Starting off I will say it’s foundations come from Mintys r34 tune, and I am using a tx wheel. But anyone who likes the base of Mintys r34 should be able to find some enjoyment out of this. Obviously it wouldn’t be the same without setting your wheel settings to mimic mine, so here are my settings;

Inside dead zones (all): 0
Outside dead zones (all): 100
Vibration: 70
FFB: 100
DOR: 900
Recently added linearity settings I’m running setting 2, or 2 green flashes. A slight adjustment but significantly helps with being smooth I found.
Manual with clutch, using the auto clutch feature.
I run all assists off, and normal steering setting.
I only have the stock rim and pedals, as availability in aus is pretty poo

Alrighty here we go.

Start with aspiration, everything is stock except I have changed it to a twin turbo.

Engine:
Race intake
Race fuel
Race ignition
Race exhaust
Stock cams
Race valves
Race block
Race pistons
Race twin turbo
Stock cooler
Stock oil
Race flywheel

Platform and handling:
Sport front and rear roll bars
Race everything else

Drivetrain:
All race

Tires and rims:
Sport compound
245 front
275 rear
Rim style, your choice, kept it 17s though

Aero and appearance:
There are no body kit options except for forza aero, so I left it all stock.

Ok tuning

Tires:
Front 45
Rear 27

Gearing:
Final drive 3.55, everything else stock

Alignment
Camber F -2.0
Camber R -1.5
Toe F 0.0
Toe R -0.5
Caster 7.0

ARBs N/A

Springs:
Spring F 645.1
Spring R 512.1
Height F 4.1
Height R 3.2

Damping:
Rebound F 9.3
Rebound R 8.0
Bump F 3.3
Bump R 3.0

Brake 50/50 at 100%

Diff fully locked 100/100

Setup might not be for everyone, but I’m really really enjoying it so far and if anyone else can get any fun out of my tune then that’s just all the more bonus.

Without driving the car, just reading the build, I can tell it will drift just fine. It looks very similar to the way I tune as well.

2 things I would consider tinkering with, slightly lower front tire PSI and also dropping the Diff decel down to 0.

The tire pressure is just a personal preference for me. I don’t like the idea of 50psi in a tire. I know it’s only a video game, but if you put 50psi in a sport grade tire, it would explode after it heats up. So I tend to keep my PSI no higher than 35, but I do lower the rear down to about 27

The 0 decel on the Diff will make your adjustments through a turn more smooth. The car will tuck in less when you feather off the gas.

Actually drifters run high psi in real life, most missile drifters run around 45psi in the rear. But as for the front, since they aren’t rotating as much as the rear they don’t hear up as quickly so it’ll take multiple runs for the front tires to get to an optimal temp for proper grip, 45psi is actually perfect since it reaches that optimal grip temp quickly but doesn’t overdo it keeping the car consistant, try it out and look at your telemetry and you can see that they heat up and stay at that optimal temp more consistantly than lower psi in the front.

Quite interesting.
