After watching your videos, and after over 200 hours in the game, finally decided it was time to remove system assists and go for some real laps. Its feel so great. After your video on tuning the natural frequency, my road cars feel 10x better than before and I can actually do laps without crashing out. Tweaking the transmission on my cars is my next step and this video has helped so much. You have yourself a new subscriber!
After watching your video for tuning rwd cars for beginners, I was finally able to properly set up my 370z and set its best lap time at Tsukuba Circuit. Then I followed your tuning guide for transmissions and beat my personal best lap time at Tsukuba! My 370z feels like its finally awake. Great tutorials! Definitely subscribed for future content. Keep up the good work!
I also would like too ad for the escudo gto swap, depending on track set up. You can lower the torque accordingly to some what alter the turbo lag thus improving all around acceleration and track times. Glad to have found your channel old chum you explain the tuning aspect far better then I would even attempt, that said I look foward to more content. Cheers 🥂
Thank you for this and all the other videos you've posted so far! I'm finding them helpful! I still have to watch this video multiple times to fully grasp it.. but thank you!
Really appreciate these videos. Minimising the usual jargon and technical speech really helps me grasp the concept. Look forward to putting it into practice and any future guides 👍🏼
I feel like with a lot of the cars I've tried to fine-tune, I've noticed the speed listed on both individual gears and the general "top speed" slider aren't quite the peaks that they will reach. They may have fixed that with a patch, but I remember a lot of cars I tinkered with on the Daytona oval would hit the rev limiter in their final gear before the MPH listed on the last gear. I've checked out a few videos so far and it's a really well-done series! Nicely done.
To add on to this: For an optimal gear shift, the power at the RPM you shift at and power at the RPM where you 'land' at in the next gear should be the same. If you have more power at the 'landing' RPM of the next gear than the at the RPM of the starting gear, that means you should've shifted sooner at a lower RPM. If power is lower at the 'landing' RPM, then you should stay in the original gear for longer; if you're hitting redline in the original gear, the gear spread is too wide. Obviously some engine/trans combos will be non-optimal compromises, like the Escudo V6 & 5 speed mentioned in the video. This advice is also suited for middle gears and acceleration, as 1st gear has different priorities and gearing for top speed runs may have a slightly different philosophy.
and here i thought i had tuning kinda figured out😅 i always use custom manual, usually just auto set the gearing depending on hp, and track style. for technical, twisty courses, i lower the setting, and vice versa for tracks with long straights. ive played around with ind. gears, and noticed some differences, but, tbh, i dont need to be an engineer, i just drive and customize.
Amazing and helpful video, as per always. THANK YOU! One bonus note… I *think* (… and I really think I need to double check this) that another difference between customizable manual transmission and customizable racing transmission, is that customizable manual transmission allows for the use of a clutch if you have one in your simulation rig/pedal setup… Cheers! \m/, 😊 ,\m/
@@m1sz It's fairly low on the list at the moment - my lineup for the next few videos is; Escudo GTO Rotary Cappuccino Chiron Corvette C6 I'll add the civic into the next community vote which will probably be in a week or two. If it wins the vote, it'll be covered after the 1800hp Corvette
Quick question what’s the difference between torque and power? I’m sorry if it’s a dumb question, I understand that torque sorta means its ability to pull something well but do I need to worry about where I’m making peak torque
To oversimplify, torque has more of an effect on wheelspin and acceleration, and power has more of an effect on top speed and general pace. Usually a car with high power and low torque is easier to control, but slightly harder to set up gear ratios for (older VTEC Hondas for example). A car with high torque is more likely to wheelspin and lose control, but the gearing doesn't affect it as much. In the real world, we usually like cars with more torque (big diesels, muscle cars, high-power teslas etc), but in GT7, when we upgrade cars, the torque figures can go too far, so you usually find cars with low torque nicer to drive. With gearing I'd just prioritise power, because usually torque is peaking just as power is starting.
@@fossilfueled27 I have watched videos on the difference between these two, and yet I still find this comment has been more helpful to my understanding. Very helpful explanation! I look forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series, I love learning all the intricacies that enable me to turn an undriveable mess of a setup into a well balanced, stable car!
@@fossilfueled27 thank you for responding, you always seem to answer questions quickly and I really appreciate that, me and my dad have been trying to learn more about the game since we’ve been playing a ton together
1:36 another difference between manual and racing transmission...if you're playing with wheel and shifter, the manual trans will make you have to use your clutch and h pattern shifter while the racing trans takes away clutch and shifter, using paddle shifter only.
Yo can u help me tune some cars for the nurburgring. I always make my cars slower than everyone else when i try to tune each individual gears top speed. I use shifter so i always use the manual transmission
I'm assuming everyone else is using the race transmission, which will make them faster. It's not possible to be as fast with the manual transmission, even in PP-limited races you're at a disadvantage.
Do you set the top speed to 280 on all of the cars you tune or you just basically subtracted 30 from the initial top speed of the car which was 310. Thanks!
It's different for every car. 280 isn't the top speed for the transmission. You need to go into individual gear adjustments and look at the number for top gear. That's the real top speed.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if you are racing in most cases BOP will be applied and everything goes back to stock. Also when you swap engines, the car can’t be used in races where BOP is applied also.
BOP is only applied on daily races where you aren't allowed to make any tweaks to suspension, transmission etc. This is pretty rare since there's a large portion of the playerbase that play single player races which don't have BOP, or play in online lobbies without tuning restrictions.
Trying to copy the tuning from a youtube video and i cant get the 2nd number where they have it. For instance if 1st is 3.179/82 i cant figure out how to get the 82 to the number they have
You have to set the top speed before you go into individual gear adjustments. It's also worth mentioning that these values will all be different if your car doesn't have the same upgrades as mine did. Any engine parts that increase the rev limit will change the gear ratios.
Because it sounds cooler, and reduces the PP rating. If your build is all about top speed, a manual allows you to run more BHP. Plus, it's more realistic on older cars that never had sequential gearboxes, if you care about that sort of thing.
@@fossilfueled27 it still exists in 7, at least something similar to it. Set the transmission to the stock one, then fully customizable again. Set your final drive all the way to the right (maximum), set top speed all the way to the left (minimum), and then use the Final Gear to set your top speed. I don’t know if it’s as effective as the older games but it does do a good job of quickly setting up a transmission from my experience using it.
Got my coffee and I’m ready to learn!
Same bro💪🏾❤
I used this guide to help me in the new Tokyo Extreme Racer. This explained thing better than other guides out there for that game.

Hello! How to find your profile on GT7? Your car styles are really cool! Tks!
Lovely!
No love for the clutch, peak lad
The GTO/EVOX Escudo swaps are - much like the Escudo itself - a lot better suited to Gravel and Snow driving than tarmac
I find them pretty damn awesome on tarmac - a monster taming video on the GTO will be coming in the next week or so.
Nice! It's one of my favourite cars. Any plans for the garage civic? Swapped it's a FF monster

I noticed your still running gears under 1.0 . Ive always ran my highest gear at 1.0:1 so there is no over driven gears .
Now I am a complete noob to tuning and dont really understand what 1st gear is like when its bogging down, could you elaborate?

How fast do you think I can get my bmw gr4 it’s set at 280 but I know I can get the car a lot faster than that
Why would anyone use the Fully customizable Manuel if it makes Changing gears slower by having that wait time between shifts?
Because it sounds cooler, and reduces the PP rating. If your build is all about top speed, a manual allows you to run more BHP. Plus, it's more realistic on older cars that never had sequential gearboxes, if you care about that sort of thing.
Gotcha. Thank you for letting me know bc I’ve been curious about this for a while. Love your videos bro. 🙏🏻
Wait, is TRANNY FLIP no longer relevant? It used to be the most important factor, if it's no longer - colud you please just clarify that 🙏

@@MLGProSwag69Thank you! Worked like a charm.👍
Someone please tell me where to go to buy the transmission no one on RUclips cares to help new players and the game doesn’t either
In the tuning shop. You have to progress through some of the cafe menu books to unlock it.
You would think spending 20k on a transmission, that you would be able to add a 6th gear on a Nissan or mistubushi
That's always annoyed me. GT4,5 and 6 allowed you fit 6 speed 'boxes to a lot of 5 speed cars. Hell, why not a 7 speed gearbox now?
" First" how do you get into this menu...
