Hi all,

I bought EA's Need For Speed SHIFT for PC a few weeks back and I have to say its AWESOME. I used to think of NFS Underground 2 as the best one in the whole NFS series but this one is even better in my opinion.

The only negative reviews I've seen are from people expecting a hardcore sim, but if you treat it like any other game in the series, and if you like racing games, then you'll probably find it pretty fun (as I have).

You absolutely must have some sort of analog controller (ie. steering wheel or gamepad) - I'm using a xbox 360 controller for windows (any USB one should work with your pc - just download the drivers from microsoft).

Anyway, one thing that I found amusing is that there's like 6 or so Nissans in the game and the most from any other manufacturer is only 2 or 3. Then I thought, well Nissan's slogan is "SHIFT" as well, so maybe Nissan really got involved from a sponsorship / advertising point of view. Interesting :)

Only things I dont really like about the game is the price ($90?!) and the fact that it constantly tries to connect to EA Nation, sometimes during a race (although that problem seems to have been fixed by the couple of official patches that are now available).

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
