I start to tune a Z31 today, this car was slow but fun, not bad in IR (except in wangan line), not suitable for beginner if you want unshaded, and of course you can't tune the Z like Harada, that's imposible. Don't make mistake this car is good.

Z31 / 180SX
what's better

its good in cornering ...

um xeo has c1 crown on his z31, seen it on ir

got a guy say Z31 need to pull pedal more to corner, so more slow, bt I don't need to, for now.....(haven finish basic tuning)

i heard that Z31 is one of the heaviest cars in WMMT3

180 > z31. imo

anyway care to share their s15 setup if they use a s15...?
me = aero - c + cyclone rims + gtwing + hooded vent (non carbon fibre) + aero mirrors.

I feel it light though.

I have intention to make it a "devil z"

Here's my S15 currently: Aero kit A, Texan Shotgun rims, hood with vent, aero mirrors.

It's slippery, so I'll probably change it soon. I'm trying to find a setup to improve acceleration.

Z31 is not a weak car.

It's powerful, but nobody chooses it because it looks so old.

The Japanese have been able to hit 2'51 on C1 IB with this car ~

Not many cars have broken the 2'51 barrier for C1 IB...

Question : Is there any BIG differences between the three Rs? (TA wise of course, because battles are mostly boost on so it doesn't really matter) Thanks in Advance.

R32 - Both ways C1, CCW, Both ways Yoko, Osaka, Both ways Hakone
R33 - Both ways Wangan
R34 - CW, Both Metro

Haven't seen too much people driving a S15, but been told its an ok car to drive, on C1 and osaka.

Is it true? opinion from S15 driver leh? Thanks for the help

Hmm... My teammate drove a S15. I think i better tell him to post something in this thread...

S15 is good ... actually all the car is quite good ..

tis the driver ... not the car

Z31 is not bad car, quite fun, I enjoy my ride and start to like this car.

bearz got it right,all cars almost same n the driver needs a good skills...

Oh, sure, that's totally right. An R33 or Z33 could totally take the #1 IR for Hakone Outbound if they had any skill. /sarcasm

Not all cars are equal. Noobs need to stop saying that the car doesn't matter. It does.

I was thinking on starting a z33 tmrw. Anyone have any suggestions on a T.A. setup? What would be a good battle setup as well?

s15 is quite slippery without a gt wing.
@ R-Z have you read the shift-point thread? that's a better way to improve your acceleration as opposed to changing your setup and im pretty sure your set-up is acceleration based too. AERO A is the speediest out of all 3 for the s15. i say if you use aero A use the wing by type of car, it gives you a little bit better handling and also you won't loose too much speed to downforce. also change your rims, texas shotguns are heavy and = grippy, so if you want better accel change to a lighter one. theres a thread somewhere where people explain which rims to use for what.

-shadow says yokohama 3 spoke the lightest and fastest.

s15 is good. not the best, but solid.

i took the c1 and osaka crown for awhile =) so it's good on those maps. on hakone i just feel slow. maybe cause i don't really play that map. and i dont really play yoko/wangan/nbl. cause i suck at them.

Thanks for the info..

seriously thinking of starting a R32 or S15, but since i don't like most 6 gear cars.. i will probably end up starting a 32..

Depends. I have a Z33 and gone through almost all 46 stages of tuning. Firstly, the Z33 is horrible at cornering. It slides like crazy in most corners but it makes it up in the insane top speed and acceleration.

If you want best top speed at the cost of less cornering, you need:
No aero kit, completely stock
Any lightweight rims, but I do suggest the Enkeis to get a feel for it.
Carbon Hood
Aero mirrors

If you want more cornering at the cost of some top speed, you need:
Aero Kit C
Any lightweight rims
Carbon hood with duct
Aero mirrors

The Z33 is a pretty okay car for battling since the sliding can work in your favour. But I'd suggested Aero Kit B if you want ramming...

whats the best part for r32?

s-15 is good... but feel like acceleration is not too good, I think that s-15 is best at osaka, at other tracks like wangan or hakone... errr... I prefer didn't play those tracks... ^^

alright, thx for the info roxas XD.
