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.

Set-up specs for the '67 Mustang Fastback:

Nitro	None
Intake/Exhaust	Level 5
Fuel/Ignition	Level 5
Supercharger	None (leave stock)
Intercooler	None
Suspension	Level 5
Brakes	Level 5
Transmission	Level 5
Clutch/Flywheel	Level 5
Weight Reduction	Level 5
Tires	Stage 2 Drift
Differential	None
Namebrand Rims	Wedsport Kranze Cerberus II
Front Rims/Tires	Smallest Rim Size/Smallest Tire Width
Back Rims/Tires	Largest Rim Size/Largest Tire Width
Spoiler	None

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.

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.

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.

The Fast And The Furious hints (PS2)
# Easy money

Purchase the $35,000 '02 350Z Fairlady Nismo S-tune, then immediately turn around and sell it back to the dealership for $37,300. It is a good car, but is fully tuned as it comes, so its potential is limited. You can purchase it, drive it, and sell it back for a profit.

# Easy Drift Battles

Note: This does not include the grip/drift battles. Do power overs (donuts) in one location to get lots of points. Make sure you have enough room to do the donuts or you will keep hitting rails.

# Recommended car

Start with the Integra and keep using it. It is by far the fastest beginner car. Make sure to put in the piggyback ECU module first. Transmission stage 3 is mandatory. With that you can reach 199 mph on nitrous or 182 without it.

The fastest car is the Toyota Supra. Put all Level 5 parts on it and it can reach 250 mph. The Corvette Z06 is one of the fastest cars in the game. 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). Note: This car is fast but has too much hp for drifting. To get a good drift car, it is best if it is between 400 and 500 hp and with Drift Tires Level 4. Gearbox for drift cars should always go 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.

The '99 Silvia S15 Spec-R Aero drives over 195 mph. You can win it from a Boss. It prevents you from buying another car for Toshi's hot spot. Use this car to win easily.

# Defeating D.K.

When you race against D.K. in the final drift battle on Suicide Mountain, use the Brake Drift on the entire track. This is the easiest way to complete the track.

# Racer and car references

Look for famous names and cars throughout the game, such as cars and actors from the three The Fast And The Furious movies, cars from D1GP and Formula D, and drivers from D1GP. There are places such as Torreto's Muscle shop, which refers to Dominic Torreto from The Fast And The Furious, Hans Tuning shop from Tokyo Drift, and many others.

Good car for suicide mountain
I used the following setup to beat a few drifters at suicide mountain, and i'm sure it will work on other tracks too

99 Silvia S15 Spec-R Aero

upgrade it to get a total of 413 bhp. from suspension thru differential upgrade to highest, tires level 4 DRIFT. the reason I put drift in caps is cuz when I went to race the last opponent, d'stars boss at suicide mountain, I did all of the above, but I accidentally put level 4 GRIP and when I went to race him it didn't drift right. after I put lvl4 drift on I beat him on my second try, and I am not the best drifter, trust me. this setup will smoke'em and all the rest of 'em. good luck.

Good 1st car and strategy!!
A very good 1st car is the cheapest one this car is EASY to drift so you can skip the aqualine and go strait to the drift mountain. it leaves you cash to tune it, so make it about 300hp(if you have the money. if not, 200-250hpor anything between 250 and 300hp.) and put grip tyres on it. leave the looks alone for now. then beat guys in the first crew not including boss(buy nos to beat him) at aqualine. when you're done with the first crew, go to the tune shop and put drift tyres on your car. then go to thefirst drifting mountain and race the one that'll give you the most $$$ until you have about $30,000 then go to the us dealer and buy the rx-7 and sell the cheapest car. since I first bought it all my drifts are PERFECT! tune it to have around 350hp. but don't go over. then buy lv. 3 tyres and do only drift racing with it. race until you have enough for the zo6 then buy that car and do grip races in it. ps. the rx-7 might take some getting used to, so practice. don't buy the 350z it's hard to drift in that car and don't buy the silvia s15 it requires a veeeeeeeeeeery low amount of hp. and even then it runs into the wall too much. go on from there and at the atami touge beat han and when you beat him keep beating him until you have as much $$$ as you want. trust me, this works. I done this and now have around 1.5million.

Free nos
L1 l2 r1 r2 up down square triangle up down l1

2nd best car!!! ! (280mph)
To get started get 96k and go to the US Dealership and buy the Corvette. The one that costs 75,850 (Z60). Then go to a Tune Shop and buy everything level 4, if you have level 5 then buy it for that item, except on the transmission, buy level 3. That one is for racing. And for the Visual upgrade, do what ever you want. Leave the place and go on the AquaLine and hit the gas and use the nitro and you will go 280mph! That will get the babes if that was in real life.

Sprinter trueno
The sprinter trueno is awesome on drift battles.
i think its the best drift car on this game
it practically owns the competition!

Best begginig
When you first start buy the 2somthinsx put only performance upgrades put nos on first.then go to the auqa line and get about 25,000.then go to the us dealer ship and buy the mazda rx-7 r1.its fast stock so you can put veilside bodykits on once you get enough money

Undercar light
First delete one car then go to Yabitsu then press : L1,L2,O,X,R2 then you can pick your own color then battle any car then you will get it

Fastest Car!!!
1986 Sprinter Trueno,

this car fully tuned kills the z06 and the LF-A

Best starting car
I reckon the best car to start with would be the nissan silvia s14 ks aero (if you can afford it)if not then by the same but Qs aero.They are brilliant cos I started off with one of them (forgotten which one)and I completed the game within 5 days.I didnt use any cheats.

Speed car
First race all around until you unlok gto twin turbo buy it put all on lv5 (except transmission put on lv3) and grip tires lv4 if you have lv5 use it I reached 232 mph with nos and 210 without it

Earn the title king of the streets
If you have really loved the game, then do as the following,
first. forget about roll-up races, you wont stand a chance without a super luxury fast cars.
second, the easiest races are top speed races, after you get a FR or MR car, Use nitros to get a head start,
third-cars won after boss battles are useless. do not buy the cars thatlly are already fully tuned.(eg250,000 US dealership car)

save money and buy-
either Toyota Supra
or Corvett 206-top speed and acceleration is all that matters

Money!!!!
