set EllipseGrip_SetStrength to 1 for best experience
(the mod description should provide instruction)

this thing is basically the car™. I set out to make this thing fun and low-part, which I think I achieved. the main attraction of this build is the driving model. after seeing hpgbproductions' elliptical grip model mod I wanted to make a simple little car with the best driving model possible in this game with it.

this thing, like hpgbproductions' MRC FLEX-V EGS, it really pushes the limit of car physics in sp, as it features my own custom torque curve, an actual 5-speed transmission with adjustable* gear ratios & final drive, a completely new braking system which does away with the brakeTorque value and gives possibility for brake balance and brake fade, carefully tuned tire grip, and intuitive controls.

I'm pretty happy with this build and I hope you can see why when you drive it.

Overview

The R31 GTS-R was part of the 7th-generation iteration of the Nissan Skyline, this variant, the GTS-R, was built for Group A homologation. It featured the RB20DET-R inline-6 turbocharged engine which made around 210 hp (157kW)

Features

• simulated engine torque and power
• simulated 5-speed transmission
• new braking system which does not use the in-game brakeTorque value
• HICAS, Nissan's 4 wheel steering system which provides better steering at high speeds*
• simple, yet effective UI in bumper and driver view
• two steering input modes (for keyboard & controller, or wheel driving)
• carefully modeled suspension though not necessarily mechanically accurate
• it has a spoiler in the back that generates a spoonful of downforce
• no fuel consumption lol

Updates

• 5/25/2024 1: added e-brake function
• 5/25/2024 2: removed 64 drag points. (they weren't supposed to be there)
• 5/29/2024 1: a lot of powertrain adjustment, redline is now 7000 (was 7100), drag reduced
• 6/22/2024 1: big change to tire grip, they now better resemble old street tires (less grip but over the limit grip of the tires are more controllable). suspension has also been softened overall.
