After upgrading and tuning a Datsun 510, I tried test driving it and noticed that if I flick the joystick left or right, the car would still turn a little bit after I moved the joystick. I previously upgraded it to C Class and did not have this problem, but for this B Class tune it is. Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Sounds like the springs are to soft.
.
In addition to what Johnson mentions above, check your ride height, this car does tend to wonder on it’s own at times.
.
Make the car stiffer but don’t lower it all the way otherwise it bottoms out even with stiff suspension I think from memory my ride height was about 1 quarter of the bar raised.
and from memory I had the 3.7 in it with 4.8 handling and I made the spring almost at stiff as it can go.
I’m happy to put a build up you can try just let me know what build you want I can sort one out for you however I will need some time to get it right if you do.
You can shoot me a friends request and I’ll let you know once i’m done.
Definitely the springs. You should put them more towards the stiff side, with the rear being slightly stiffer than the front. Springs actually play a noticeable role in car rolling, especially with cars that have a high ride height.
If you’re getting oversteer along with rolling, play around with the camber and rebound until you get a good feel.
I’d say reduce camber, more specifically front camber, until it stops.
Of course could be a combination of multiple things which is hard to guess when we don’t know all the other settings. But camber would be the first thing I would try.
Thanks for all your suggestions guys, I will try them out and see how it goes.
It seems that I don’t have the problem when I raised the ride height from 4.7 to 5.1 (both front and rear). Would this have any other adverse effects? I didn’t notice any but may not be aware of some.
Edit: raising the car to 5.5 seems much better.

Go on feel and what works for you cause that’s what will work best you will find all the top racers in the game will tune very different remember tuning for simulation steering is way different to tuning with normal steering.As an example my tunes must be very balanced and things like the wight transfer must be tuned much better then somebody who uses normal steering as the margin for error is much higher on simulation steering you have much less grip and the car is far more responsive with imputs.I’m getting good feedback from my tunes even with guys using normal steering so I must be doing something right.My suggestion is hit up a good team my good mates at ERS and FV have good tunes for normal steering if that’s what you use My Team RS has some guys who use normal steering that have great tunes too.If you use simulation steering I’m probably the best out there since I’m pretty obsessed with getting my cars right.If you need any help my advise is too get in with a good group of people I’m happy to introduce you to my group we race all the time and my network is large I’m sure we can get you were you need to be in no time anyway it’s up to you.
Thanks for the advice and offer, as for the racing team, I will just stick to myself for now.
I don’t think he was inviting you to join his team. I think he was asking if you wanted to join up in parties and learn what they do while they tune. I do the same thing as much as I can to those that want it. Knowing what others do to their cars can dramatically improve how your car drives and feels. I always suggest seeing what others do even if you don’t implement that on all your cars. Reason being you may remember a trick somebody did on a car to make it drive better which may help you on a car that doesn’t want to cooperate.
Thanks for the clarification ERS JOHNSON. I’ll still pass on the tuning though.
