Beginner Setup & Driving Tips – Nissan GTP ZX-T

Tips for mastering the turbocharged Nissan ZX-T.

The Nissan GTP ZX-T is a powerful and demanding machine in iRacing, but with the right approach, drivers can unlock its incredible pace. It rewards discipline, patience, and smooth driving techniques.

Setup Tips

  • Start with baseline setups to get a feel for the car’s turbo behavior.
  • Soften rear suspension slightly to improve traction on corner exits.
  • Adjust gearing to balance acceleration and top-end speed for each track.
  • Manage turbo boost carefully; over-aggressive setups can shorten engine life in endurance races.

Driving Advice

  • Braking: Brake early and firmly; the car is heavy and requires long stopping distances.
  • Cornering: Focus on smooth entries and controlled throttle on exits.
  • Throttle: Roll on gradually – turbo spool can cause sudden oversteer if you’re not ready.

Racecraft

Patience is key. The ZX-T is incredibly fast on straights, so line up passes there rather than forcing moves mid-corner. Respect the car’s limits and play to its strengths: raw power and straight-line speed.

Final Thoughts

The ZX-T is a challenge for beginners but a dream for experienced sim racers. Learn its turbo characteristics and you’ll discover why it dominated IMSA in its prime.
