Updated Handling System & Electronic Refinement
This update applies to all Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 GT500 ’99 variants, running Super Soft tyres.

This is not a default tune and not a casual setup.
It is a refined configuration designed for competitive racing conditions in GT2 A-Spec Mod
.
Driving Style Focus — Smooth / Flow / Aero-Dependent

This setup is built for Smooth-style drivers, who prioritize:
Clean steering inputs,
Progressive braking,
Stable corner arcs,
Minimal mid-corner correction.

This philosophy is especially effective for front-engine (FR) GT500 cars, where front weight management is critical.

Track Conditions Requiring Adjustment (FR-Specific)

If you race the R33 GT500 on technical, bumpy, high-elevation, or banked circuits, such as:

Trial Mountain Circuit
Midfield Raceway
Deep Forest Raceway
Grand Valley Speedway
Laguna Seca Raceway
Special Stage Route 5 (SSR5)
then the following adjustment is required.

Suspension Adjustment — FR Critical Note
👉 Reduce BOTH Bound and Rebound Dampers by 2 clicks
👉 Front AND Rear

Why this matters on the R33 (FR):
Heavy front mass loads the tyres aggressively under braking,
Super Soft tyres amplify damper stiffness, Excessive causes front push and delayed rotation, Softer damping allows better weight transfer and tyre compliance

This adjustment:
✔ stabilizes braking zones
✔ improves front-end gr ip on turn-in
✔ reduces understeer in mid-corner
✔ keeps aero platform consistent over bumps

Final Clarification (Hardcore Context)
This is not an aggressive, tail-happy Skyline setup.
This is a controlled, aero-stable, race-consistent R33 configuration.

If this setup feels:
“Too calm” → you are overdriving the front tyres
“Stable but fast over race distance” → it is correct
“Not exciting but effective” → that is exactly the point
The R33 GT500 rewards discipline, not force.
Drive it like an FR endurance car — and it will deliver.
