Paint Job 2

1. Buy The Supra

2. When putting in the plate number follow the directions below.

For the Supras paint job the Japenese letter to pick is three steps right from the first one. Look for two stacked katakana "ta" symbols next to a complex form consisting of a "cliff" symbol surrounding two "trees" above the "hand" symbol. The Plate number is " dot 1-3-9 " and the car itself is type-JZA80.

How to get the Type-530(last car).
Go into the QR mode and win 100 races without leaving the QR mode. It takes about 2 hours. After you win 100 races, go into the quest mode, load up your game and buy the last car for $30,000.


Behind-Car Replay
At the post-race screen where the game gives you the choices of: main menu, replay, continue racing, or (with VMU)save replay, hold the L and R buttons, select "replay", and push A. The replay will now be from a behind view of your car, instead of from the normal replay cameras.


Never log a loss
If you challenge someone whos just way too fast for you, or get challenged by someone like that (one of the Devas showing up early springs to mind) and know youre going to lose, hit start and choose to go back to the main menu. Unlike retiring or getting a draw, the game doesnt register this as a loss. Next time you see that car, theyll still be a blue dot on the map. What does this do for you? Well, if you beat a car when its still a blue dot (not yet raced), you get 5x the car bonus when you win, as opposed to 4x for cars that youve lost to or drawn with before.


Tip to beat the game
Trying to beat 100 Races is hard, here is a great tip which will never fail. While you are racing your lifebar will go down if you are passed by a rival, whatever amount of life you have left, will remain until you complete 100 races OR run out of energy and lose. Here is a nice tip for Full Energy through all 100 races. If you get passed, just hit Start and Click RETIRE, then RETRY. You will begin where you left off, and you life will be restored. Do this until the end, and you will be unstopable.


Extra Parts
After beating Quest Mode, you will unlock extra parts under MUFFLERS and AERO. *Muffler #7 will now be selectable. *1 Extra Wing is also added.


How to make an easy pass
At the begining of a race your car and the rival car are in two different lanes. The lane you start in is yours. During the race if a rival gets in your lane shine your lights on him. This will cause him to break and you can speed by him.


Get all secret cars
Once you beat all of the 4 Devas and 4 Devils in quest mode, all of their cars will be available. You can purchase Midnight Cinderellas car (the one with the flames on the sides), Zeros car, the Porsche 911, Exhaust Eves car and the Type-JZABOD (It has racing stripes). Other cars are Raven Bloods car (It has his logo on the hood), Grim Reapers car, the Type R-34, and even a different Porsche. It looks cool, but it was driven by one of the groups masters, not one of the elite 8. If you wait until the end of the game, you can buy a car the exact same model as Ravens, but it is possible to change the color and the logo isnt there. Tip: once you get Raven Bloods car, buy it and build on it. It becomes the best car in the game.


Make a innocent vehicle hit your rival
As you are racing in Quest Mode flash your high beam lights at an innocent car and sort of hit it on its side. This will enable the innocent car to hit the rival you are racing.
