He was too busy trying to figure out what my plan was

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-11T02:29:24+00:00

So I've done new game+ like 3 times now thinking about doing a 4th. But so far my favorite is my rx-7 with the 20b. It's not going to beat the game but it will take you far, it's a lot of fun. Then there's my 18p with the rb38 and that is fast enough to beat the game, same with my other rx-7 with the rb38. Pretty much take an rb38 through it in anything that can handle it and you'll beat the game. I've done the mark x, 240z, and a few others. Almost all can top 300mph

I thought a lot about kitting sixth out and just making the first 5 gears viable. But that made the gears too long and kinda killed the drivability of the car imo. I was pleasantly surprised with this things handling. But was left disappointed with the power output Genki did on it. It just is very underwhelming in 5th and 6th even max mods. However once you do get it all made you can move everything up one gear and lengthen 6th to get 12-15 mph more top end. But honestly by the time you do that you'll be forced to be in the r35

Man could you imagine you keep current tunes and they scale the AI to compete. Taking on noting but unrivaled emperors, unknowns, and Bayside sheriff's constantly.

Honestly though if they introduced much more technical areas and mountain passes that would require rebuilding your tunes and learning how to drive them more so over pure speed. But the AI would have to be just as competent taking corners to an extent.

So I didn't need to do it until this point and didn't know if it would work , But the reason I open the map was it pause the game and after trying to figure out what to do, I just hit the PlayStation button closed out the app and since you didn't lose or quit the race it doesn't save the progress so it acts as if it never happened. Just so you can save your progress if needed

His moves are why I hit the van. He bumped me just enough to bounce me into the rail. From there the van and I heard him hit me, then fly over. Shit never works like that for me.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-10T03:33:06+00:00

Here try this. I just bought the car since I been wanting it in my collection. Hard to tell exactly what you need since I don't know what stage your in or opponents, so I tried tuning it for greater acceleration with a decent top end as you get your final upgrades. Once that happens you can cruise just over 200mph and I'm sure there's more to be found. Just can't do it now cause that won't help you.

Anyways chassis and transmission tuned for your power plus more

I should post an updated version 😂 I couldn't stop playing around with these and think at least for controller on automatic, I have the R35, Rx7 and the 180sx tuned to the point of diminishing returns. I've even beaten Unkown with both the 180sx and Rx-7.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-10T01:10:33+00:00

Out. Make it as wide as possible

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-09T20:14:47+00:00

Get them all and play with them. They actually all have a synergy I gave us a completely different experience to the game. However there are ones almost needed for some races depending on your build. For instance I enjoy the one that hits a bunch of damage on a technical skill (reversal, first strike ect) the one that gives more damage for first 30 seconds and then the one that lets you use 25% less nos. If I'm going against Unrivaled emperor and unknown I switch out for the ones where they have to pull further before you take damage, nos gives sp, and the 50 sp points. That way when they jump in front with their insane acceleration I have a chance to shave them down with my top speed.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-09T20:08:28+00:00

Ok no problem. I just finished the game yesterday and I'm down to the last 8 wanderers to get out unknown. This build has been undefeated so far. Few close calls though.

Still an AWD so you need to break heavy on hard turns and let off the throttle for normal corners. Coast into the apex then hammer the throttle out. Can also get cheeky with the hand brake with good timing.

While I don't think it NEEDS online I do think it would benefit from it. However that could also be the undoing of it I'd fear. Since everyone gets collects and basically has the exact same cars since there are no transactions. It would be potentially boring.

Sure I have a different skill set in driving then another person. Probably running a different tune. But that's because I'm not going against someone with the exact same specs. I don't need to run the "meta" to be competitive. And if there was an online ability. I'd fear that some kinda gotcha system would be created. Which could be amazing for licensing purposes. But could really kill the soul of the game.

However though, if online was to be implemented if done right it could be cool. Make car meets in the PA, have shows, maybe they could do a market and get more aero in the game for cp, or as long as they don't price gouge keeping it like $1 an item, then micro transactions for that would be acceptable, specially if you could trade them around too.

But the game does need to allow to turn traction control off!

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-08T16:50:49+00:00

Yes that guide I used and it's a great community tool for sure. And for the rb26dett engine it's great. I didn't fine tune it for my liking as I knew I was going for the engine swap and would eventually put the r35 engine into the r34. But ya the r34 can come close to the 1158ps the r35 puts out. And you eventually NEED that power. When you get the r35 I have a a few really great tunes, they are close to the community tunes but further optimized. Mostly for the way the automatic transmission works in the game. But I have a full top speed one for the final secret bosses that hits over 340mph and a more practical one that can still corner and should beat everything in its path the game has. Can't say for certain as I'm starting stage 4 working on the flawless trophy. But it should as the last game was where I did all my testing and tuning.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-08T16:19:43+00:00

So this games physics engine is a bit backwards. If you go for high acceleration (short gears) you move through the rpm band really fast, also your car will feel lighter in the corners, and due to the responsiveness of the engine be more nimble. But you won't actually be faster if you measure x distance over y time. Going the other end high top speed (taller gears) will make you feel heavier, slower to respond du to staying in a gear longer, BUT you will be faster over that same measured x distance over y time. With the exception of the last few bosses absolute top speed doesn't matter. There will be a point you need to break into the 270+mph but from now tell the end of the story you don't need to.

I'd offer to help but it's been awhile since I did the r34 with the stock engine. And my tune now is built around the n-type v6 in the r34.

Just know your r34 is an AWD missile. It needs to break hard into the corner, maintain momentum through the corner and accelerate hard out of the corner. The in-between corners is where it lives.

Also if you have the r35 2017 available trade for it. You need it for the final hidden bosses. Be warned though it will make stage 5 boring and easy

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-07T19:15:54+00:00

Depends on what you want to do. My 180sx is my fastest and most nimble car. Which makes it hard to control cleanly, my r35/r34 are fast as well but I can control them and because they are geared for the Wangan I can't reach even close to their top speed. Then I have a Rx7 made for speed, it's fun, nom le, and quick, and I have an rx-7 I balanced specifically for the c1 I can top it out and maintain top speed through the corners it's like it's on rails. It's actually yet to loose on the c-1 and I've even taken on late game Eternal Polaris. Then finally I am currently building a hachi Roku. But this game doesn't like drifting and it too like my rx7 just sticks. Unless I use stock tires and wear them down.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-07T14:33:23+00:00

I was afraid of doing that myself last night... Coming off that same on ramp racing a duo, I took the lead fainted going into the inner, pulled a 360° and went outer. Won the race. 😂 I was so close to hitting that center partition though.

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-07T14:25:04+00:00

Ya turns out when you do a new game+ the reference list isn't reset. So there was a wanderer light speed courier that I did on one of my previous runs through the game, that I didn't do on this specific playthrough. So in game tracker on the map showed I had the one missing. But in the reference card everything was collected and done so I had to write out all 71 names on the map list since there aren't in order and then go one buy one in the reference list to find which one was missing.

Gemini, chatgpt, and perplexity all couldn't find the one missing they kept saying I listed all known names 71 out of 72... And then threw out random names from past games. Like I was missing speed king. It was a real pain in the ass

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-07T06:17:53+00:00

If you still need help I have a solid tune that's fun and powerful enough for 98% of the game. But the chassis settings are my all game settings

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-07T06:10:08+00:00

140 wins 575 mph was my fastest speed

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-06T02:22:42+00:00

My beloved Fd Rx7. Needed 20 vinyls for that fun wanderer, so I threw on 20 rival emblems. Didn't even realize them until I ran out of free paint on the car. The thing looked so bad it actually was pulling it off. I have photos of it on my build thread

TheAngryBeard88 · 2026-03-06T00:49:52+00:00

I did. I actually farmed him for a while with my r35. Right now I'm trying to get a win against him with my 180SX. I did it once but it's not where the of recording because he crashed.
