Drift Battles
*** This does not include the grip/drift battles.
Description: Do power overs (aka donuts) in one
location to get many points. Have enough room
to do the donuts or you will hit rails. Use your
Clutch (L1) + Gas (X), and when in the donut
keep them both held with your direction held to
either the left or the right. Try using the '67
Mustang Fastback. To be able to buy the car you
must complete and win a few roll up races.

Use transmission Level 3 while drifting. It helps
keep drifts going longer without stooping.
Grip Battles
When doing Grip Battles in the mountains it is
easier to win if you treat it like a drift match. You
will take corners faster and finish quicker.
D.K.
Use the Brake Drift on the entire track. This is
the easiest way to complete the track.
Racer & Car references
Location: Find famous names and cars
throughout the game, such as cars and actors
from the 3 The Fast And The Furious movies, cars
from D1GP and Formula D, and drivers from
D1GP. Torreto's Muscle shop: Dominic Torreto
from The Fast And The Furious
Hans Tuning shop : Tokyo Drift
Recommended car
Toyota Supra: Put all Level 5 parts on it and it
can reach 250 mph.
Corvette Z06 : Tune it as follows and it will be
able to reach over 270 mph. Set everything to
Level 5 except Gearbox (Level 3) and Differential
(Level 4).
*** Corvette Z06 is fast but has too much hp for
drifting. A good drift car is best if it is between
400 and 500 hp and with Drift Tires Level 4,
Gearbox to Level 3, and Turbo/Supercharger to
Level 2 or 3.
It is recommended that you only use FR/MR/AWD
cars in this game. All the FF cars are slow even
when fully tuned.
Tuning Limitations
Cars that are won from defeating Bosses cannot
be tuned.
Special versions of cars cannot be tuned, such as
the Nismo Skyline, or any other car that was a
specially tuned version from the manufacturer.
Boss's Car
When you have defeated all the members of a
crew, you are left with the crew's Boss. After
defeating the Boss you will be awarded with their
car and a new performance upgrade. Right on!
Money $$$ Money
How to: Purchase the $35,000 '02 350Z Fairlady
Nismo S-tune, then turn right around and sell it
back for $37,300. It is fully tuned as it comes, so
its potential is limited.
