i cant say i liked any of the nfs games too much. i have pro street, was ok, but didnt really juice my lemon. Same as all the previous NFS games.

i would like the new one if:

it had the realism of gt5

had an unbelievable amount of mods both mechanically and aesthetically

courses included the wangan, mt fuji mountain roads, mt akina from initial D, tsukuba circuit, bathurst and the piece de resistance - winton motor raceway

Removed ALL american influence and replace design team with the guys from tokyo xtreme racer or wangan midnight

and youve got yourself the best game in the world

all the nerds on nfs forums are calling it an epic fail.

but from what ive seen them ask for. their asking for the impossible!

What are they asking for? Realistic physics? :P

Might check it out on a later date...

  • 3 weeks later...

Just realised this thread.

Here is what I said in the "Currently Playing" Thread.

Finished it on PS2 in about a week, but could have finished it quicker.

Graphics a terrible, the default controller layout is annoying cuz Im use to Carbons settings.

Tuning wise its is a lot better than Pro Street as you do not have to spend as much time mucking around with settings.

Had about the same amount of cars than Carbon but still Pro Street had the most.

The game was quite easy to win.

What I hate about Pro Street and Undercover is that, there is no FREE CUSTOMISE like in the previous NFS. No Highway Battles in Quick Race which is sucks.

The cut scenes are OK and Maggie Q was the only thing worth watching.

So far I have completed Career Mode of 87% (just a few lose end to tie up) with a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec, Nissan 180SX, 911 Turbo GT2, Lamborghini Galardo and Ford Mustang cop cars in my garage.

They pretty much took parts from Carbon and Pro Street put it together and changed a few race events around.

Overall its a Good game.

BTW Is the R35 GTR avaliable to unlock in the PS2 version? Maybe I gota race the Challenge Series...

ive got the R34 in millenium jade, on bronze TE37's.. the rest is stock. sooo sexy

R35 in gunmetal grey, stock rims. sexy. does 390km/h

the theres the GT2

and some other cars i dont remember

Played it the other day, wasn' that impressed. Exactly the same as NFS Most Wanted with a bit of an upgrade on little things here and there. I think they should just stop making them for a while until they make a decent "new" game that is miles ahead of the old ones. Kind of like GT5 is to GT4, huge difference.

However the Veyron is cool :down:

what cars you got bakes?

all my cars dont have any nitrous

i flew through the game.

my R35 maxs out at 389 km/h :banana:

i dont like how every corner theres a fkn cop

i cant even do a top speed run on my R34

Need for speed underground = realistic driving engine imo, when you accelerate, u accelerate, when u brake u brake, when you take your foot off the gas you here compressor surge ( in some cars), only faults in that game was when you fully mod sumthin like a Supra or a Skyline the growl of the 2jz/ rb26 instantly turns into that annoying 4cylinder sound. So I just never do up the engine part to get around this.

Need for speed most wanted = alright game but the modifications were limited compared to NFSU2 , when u accelearte u dont accelerate, u do a pycho ass burnout thus forcing u to go stop to go in 2nd ( my own experience)

Need for speed carbon = even less modification potential due to teh fact if u done have an aftermarket rear bumper u cant have an aftermarked exhaust WTF? , and I absoloutely hate Autoscult, every kit looks the same, drivign engine is the same as in Most wanted im pretty sure same retarded acceleration

Need for speed pro street= I played for 1 day and epic quit, I HATED IT!

Need for speed undercover = driving engine seems to be better then the normal most wanted onwards style, but the game is still hindered by the modification restrictions. most performance mods and visual mods are restrictive and not in depth however cruising around the highway system I must say is pretty fun and the fact cops never seem to go a shit about me speeding past is good. I did find 1 retard thing tho, when I 1st got the game I did a bit of career and bought the G35 skyline which im pretty sure (99.9999%) is a Non turbo 3.5l VQ35DE V6, however for sum reason it is turbocharged and has a BoV lol.

To make the ultimate driving game i reckon it should have a map the size of GTA San andreas to drive around, the driving engine of Underground 2 and extremely indepth performance modification such as boost pressure, turbo sizing, specific internals specs, gearboxes, exhaust composition, wastegate options (screamer pips in a game would rule), BoV options (im sick of HKS lol) , etc etc

thats my rant

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
