R33 Custom tuning in FH6
Tires
- Front Tire Pressure: 2.1 BAR
- Rear Tire Pressure: 2.0 BAR
A slightly higher front pressure helps speed up steering response in tight corners, while the rear pressure is set for stable grip.
Gearing
- Final Drive: 4.05
Adjusted to 4.05 to provide quick acceleration out of mountain hairpins without sacrificing a comfortable cruising engine speed on flat roads.
Alignment
- Camber (Front): -1.8°
- Camber (Rear): -1.2°
- Toe (Front): 0.0°
- Toe (Rear): 0.0°
- Front Caster: 6.0°
Extra negative camber in the front helps the heavy front-end grip during turns, while neutral toe keeps the car driving straight and stable when cruising.
Antiroll Bars
- Front: 16.00
- Rear: 32.00
A softer front and stiffer rear setup reduces the understeer common in heavy AWD cars, allowing the car to rotate more easily.
Springs
- Front Springs: 110.5 kgf/mm
- Rear Springs: 90.5 kgf/mm
- Ride Height (Front): 17.0 cm
- Ride Height (Rear): 18.5 cm
Moderate stiffness and ride height settings keep the suspension soft enough to absorb bumpy public roads (touge) while remaining stiff enough for track stability.
Damping
- Rebound Stiffness (Front): 8.5
- Rebound Stiffness (Rear): 7.2
- Bump Stiffness (Front): 5.1
- Bump Stiffness (Rear): 4.3
Designed to keep the tires in contact with uneven road surfaces, preventing the car from feeling too stiff or floaty.
Aero
- Front Downforce: 120 kgf
- Rear Downforce: 25 kgf
Moderate front downforce improves turn-in precision, while low rear downforce prevents the car from losing too much top speed during casual driving.
Brakes
- Balance: 50%
- Pressure: 100%
Personal preference.
Differential
- Front Acceleration: 25%
- Front Deceleration: 5%
- Rear Acceleration: 60%
- Rear Deceleration: 15%
- Center Balance (Torque split): 65% (Rear biased)
A 65% rear power bias gives the car an agile, rear-wheel-drive feel when accelerating, while low front settings prevent the front wheels from pulling the car wide.
Overall, when using this tune you will notice the R33 more snappy during turn and you can gas early when exiting turn without breaking traction. Here are the car stats that we’ve change:
- Car Weight: 1540kg > 1455 Kg.
- Peak Power: 206 KW > 232 KW.
- PWR: 0.13 KW/kg > 0.16 KW/kg.
- Lateral Gs 1.3 > 1.4
- Performance Class: B555 > B600.
