LOL that little Nissan that you start out with is awesome!!! I'm pumping out 300+ kw on it :thumbsup: Stroke it out to 2.1Litres, throw in some cams, get it breathing, do a turbo conversion on it (I've only gone with the sports turbo thus far), throw in a roll cage, buddy club P1's wrapped in some decent compound, and most importantly AWD DRIVETRAIN CONVERSION! Once I discovered the Drivetrain conversion that was it! Makes for an awesome car! Still understeers a bit but nowhere near as bad as FWD! You can still get it sideways though with the AWD despite its tendency to understeer, in fact I got the drifter achievement in it :P But yes, the thing friggin LAUNCHES!! I've got the level 1 brakes at the moment, needs more stopping power though... LSD was a must, just went with a 1.5 way. But yes, with it stroked out, blown, bigger cams, upgraded pistons.. that little Nissan is soooo damn quick! Oh and transmission! Didn't go as far as a racing transmission, just the sports one and it smashes through the gears quick enough.

Anyhow, I think 4 hours is enough Forza 3 for the night haha Definitely worth buying!! Night all :(

Oh and by launches, I mean it does 0-97km/hr in little of 3 seconds :P It has been gutted though... BUT there's still a decent amount of power left to unlock in it..just need to do more races to get cash :thumbsup:

lol, I farked that little piece of shit off quick smart! Bought myself an oldschool Fairlady Z, dropped in an RB26, AWD, lightened it, did brakes, gear box, suspension, 255s all around etc, still have most of the power to unlock.

That thing RIPS (lol) past supras, skylines etc, raped the b class turbo races. Needs a little bit more power to keep an AWD slide going through a corner, at the moment, I'm having to smash 2nd, then down it to 1st in the last bit of the corner.

smashed 370Zs etc too in the fairlady tournament!

That car was my baby in the last game and I'm SO GLAD they included it! :P

I also love how every car is automatically unlocked at the start of the race, you just need the money!

also, that rewind feature is awesome, even though I keep forgetting about it, I only use it if some bugger brakes infront of me and I 'orange' my engine :thumbsup:

The only thing I don't like is the artificial slow down on the tracks with the speed bumps instead of sand traps. How am I supposed to be all awesome and flip my car and shit if they go and do that?

I lul'd at myself being in the top 1% for F and E class, what does that even mean?

I rarely buy cars in Forza because generally I buy one then win the same one on the next race/level so I have used the Fiesta, 500, Brera and Focus RS so far.

How sweet is the Collectors Ed. though? I've picked up a few special addition type games over time but F3 I think, simple but impressive not just a map and some plastic crap.

How big is the memory stick that came with it? I just got a free 8Gb one yesterday so it was a bit unnecesary, and I don't think I'll be using the keyring :thumbsup:

Nice though, and the box is top notch n shit.

I HAD to buy that car (it was only like 5000cr) cause I know how awesome it can be! I was sick of all the little square boxes I was winning.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
