Avoid spins with Mustang GT:
In career mode when you unlock The Mustang GT, be careful when you put in the top engine with the top ECU. When going fast, watch out for sharp turns. You might spin out in a race; try to work on your handling.

Being Successful:
When you get to choose your car, regardless of the acceleration,handling or top speed stats, I suggest you go with a Honda Civic, or a Nissan 240SX.After this, race constantly and constantly until you have 10,000 bank or more. Make sure to never in any way tune your starter car. After you have your 10,000 bank or more, either trade in your starter vehicle or get a complementary vehical from the car lot. Make sure to press down on the directional pad often when you unlock new areas to see how many hidden shops are left to look for by scrooling all the way down with the left thumbstick. Keep using your untuned starter car until a Honda Celica is unlocked. Then, burn every penny on performance tuning at a performance storeblue sphere on map. While at the performance shop, go to dyno tuninglocated all the way to the left of the main toolbar. Once there it will ask what mode you want to tune. Hit drag. Then, it will begin to test. When it is done telling the results go to tune, then pick nitrous. Move the slider all the way to the left. Then exit the performance shop. If you have extra bank left save it or spend it on looks and visual ratings optional. Remember, Performance comes before looks. This is because the performance will get your car looks later. Looks won't gain performance as fast as performance will gain looks to put it simplier- you'll need speed to get money-later, money from speed will get your car looking good-but if you chose looks and have no speed, you will never win with your fancy car. After your done spending all your bank, regardless of new performance upgrades you have to save up a ton of money, then when the next cars get unlocked, such as the Audi A3, you'll trade in the old tuned car for it or get it free from sponsors. Now, once again bust all your money on your new carremembering performance comes first. Repeat this method until you have the best cars such as 350Z or Nissan Skyline GTR.

Carbon fiber the entire car:
Carbon your body kit, then put a wide body kit on it. The entire wide body will be carbon fiber. This will also give you a wider wheel base and should result in a lighter car.

D3 GTO:
When "Press Start" appears at the title screen, press Up, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right2 to unlock the D3 GTO. If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound.

Drift mode:
In drift mode, set your car up using the following this basic structure. Tune the ECU to have as much torque as you can get in the early gears. Make all of the suspension settings as hard as possible to eliminate shock travel. This will help get the back end out. Turn the tire grip to weak. Also, make the cars acceleration as quick as possible. For the toe settings, lower it all the way. Make the aero settings as weak as possible. Set the brake bias towards rear. By doing this, you will greatly increase your score, especially on the downhill. On the straight-aways you can do Choku-Doris go from side to side to rack up big points. You can then link them to power over-steer drifts, which is when you will use the torque and acceleration to lose traction in the back tires, then use carefully timed throttle control to get around the corner as sideways as possible. This will help your drifts scores get as high as possible. Throttle control is very important -- do not get discouraged if you spin out a lot. Note: This has not been attempted on FF or AWD cars. FF and AWD cars will most likely have a softer suspension setting but everything else would probably remain the same. FF and AWD cars also need the hand brake to initiate drifts more than a FR car would.

Driving move:
Get on a highway of some kind at about 110 mph. When traffic is clear, hold R Left until your car is spun at a 90 degree angle. Then, release the buttons make sure your car is still spinning then hold X. You will be driving in reverse. When you are driving, do a J-Turn turn back around to the front when in reverse. Then, accelerate to finish the move.

Easier Turns In URL Races:
Notice that before sharp turns in the URL Races, there are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating until you reach "1", then slam on the breaks and turn. Once perfected, this can help you get through turns with more speed.

Easy drag race wins:
Instead of using nitrous by holding it down and wasting it all at once, just keep tapping NOS as fast as you can. You will gain 1 to 3 mph with every tap, which is actually increases your speed faster than if you were to hold it down. Also, you will run out of it about one third as fast. Try this on the hardest difficulty setting.

Easy NOS Recovery:
To get lots of NOS easily when your are standing still, hold the hand break R. Next, hold the gas button and LEFT or RIGHT. You should spin around and create smoke. This should give you 300 points instantly to recover turbo boost.

Easy Outrun Win:
Find an opponent to outrun with. Get directly behind him/her until your touching the back of his/her car. When the icon in the top left corner of the screen starts telling you to press UP on the D-pad to start the outrun. Quickly press UP on the D-pad and spin your opponent out. This fairly easy to accomplish.

Easy style points:
To do this, you will need at least level 1 hydraulics. Drive up against a wall and activate your hydraulics. Then, press the Gas and stay up against the wall. You may need to turn sometimes to keep it straight. You should start to get points on the right side of your screen. Additionally, driving in reverse will give you style points. The longer you drive in reverse, the more points you will receive.

Easy wins:
When racing for magazine covers, unique performance or visual parts, it helps if you have both NOS bottles filled. This can help you beat that tenth of a second that you have always missed. It also helps, especially in the more difficult and longer stages, with small time limits, to immediately activate the GPS as soon as you have accepted the challenge. Additionally, to get the best drag times, hold NOS even through shifts. Tapping it does not work. Also, to get best times you must have a perfect launch. Use the Right Analog-stick to hold it in green. Once you tear out, if you need to get your tach up, tap NOS, but once in 2 to 5, hold NOS until you cross the finish line.

Endo:
Get any car and put level 3 hydraulics on it. Put on level 3 brakes. You can also use all level 3 engine parts to make it go higher. First, put the rear end up. Then, bounce the back. Next, go about 17 mph or faster and hit the brake. If done correctly, you could have the entire back end of the car straight up.

Extra money:
When "Press Start" appears at the title screen, press Up3, Left, R3, Down. You will start career mode with an extra 200. If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound. Note: This code has no effect if you have already started a career.

Fast career car:
Use the following trick to create an extremely fast and high starred car quickly. When you start career mode, choose a Peugeot 106. Try not to get any upgrades unless you need them. Keep winning races and playing through the game until you unlock the Toyota Celica This can be made into the fastest car in the game. Get it immediately when it is unlocked. This should be sometime in level 2. Play through the game, making sure to take the opportunity to do of any outruns. This will unlock unique upgrades. When you unlock the unique part, you will have to go to a star on the map first. The game will tell you to go to a certain shop, depending on what the unique is. The first one is a unique hood. You must win four outruns for it. Then in stage 3, you need will need three outrun wins for a unique engine, transmission, or tire set. Choose the engine. For unique rims , get six wins in stage 3. The spoilers require four wins on stage 4. The vinyls require six wins on stage 4. The ECU, turbo or brakes require nine wins on stage 4. Select the ECU. The NOS, weight or suspension uniques require six wins on stage 5. Select NOS for an extra long boost. Finally, the wide body kits uniques require eleven wins on stage 5. Put all of these on your Celica, and it will be the fastest car in the game. Note: Do not forget to install the performance upgrades up to level 3.

Final race:
The final race is against Caleb the man that tells Nikki to win, then she loses and joins your team on a 4.5 mile track and 5 laps. However, he only gets up to about 130 mph.

Finding Hidden Shops:
Look at the road signs around the city. They often have colored shapes yellow triangles ect. to guide the way to the shops. Also, look for street-lights casting a colored glow. This indicates that there is a shop very close.

Finding more races:
If you cannot find any more races on your map, then you need to find all the hidden shops in the city. After you find all the shops, you will be asked to be on another DVD cover. Follow the star to get to the next level.

Get bank for races:
There are five stages, and as you complete each of them you can go back and repeat the races again. You may even find that there are some races you missed. These are the ones that you want to race. When you go to these, you are not supposed to get anything for them but you can change that. To access these races, go to your garage, then your world map, and select a race. When the race begins, pause game play and restart the race. Notice that there is an option to return to world map, however after you restart it will not be there. You can now race and get bank for it.

Get car on either side of the wheels:
This trick requires all of the level 2 upgrades, and hydraulics upgrade level 2. Get the hydraulics to either side of the car, and only that one side. Then, do a donut to the right if the left side of the car is lifted and vice versa. This only happens for a moment.

Get drift points easy:
Some of the downhill drift races have houses with looping drive ways that you can drive in. Drifting in these driveways gets a lot more points than on the street because you are so far off the road and are not hitting a wall.

Have three regular vinyls and a unique vinyl:
Fill all four vinyl slots with regular vinyls of your choice, then purchase this setup. Apply a unique vinyl on layer of your choice. Go to change not remove, add the unique then press Y to go back out. All vinyls and the unique will be applied.

Hydraulics:
After you buy level 1, 2, or 3 hydraulics, come to a complete stop and hold R. Use the Left-Analog stick to move up, down, left, or right. The longer you move back and forth, the more points you will get. To activate your hydraulics, hold the gas, the brake, and the hand brake. While holding those down, move the Analog-stick in the direction which you want the car to move.

Jump off a car:
To jump off a car's hood, you must first jump off an uphill road the other way that the car is traveling. Use your NOS, get some air, and when the car approaches, get on its hood, off its windshield, then into the air.

Jumping:
Install hydraulics level 2. Kiss the wall, then use your hydraulics move the Analog-stick Up and Down quickly. Sooner or later, the car will jump, even making flips and 360s.

Rear wheel drive wheelie:
This trick requires a real wheel drive car with level 3 hydraulics. Start with your car in neutral. Double tap then hold the R to engage the hydraulics. Hold Left Analog-stick Up to begin bouncing the front end of the car. In mid-bounce, release R, but keep holding the Left Analog-stick Up. The car will keep bouncing. Press the Right Analog-stick Forward to rev up the engine, then shift into first gear, while still holding Forward on both of the Analog-sticks. Your next hydraulic bounce will be delayed in the air while the car does a rolling burnout, causing your car to do a wheelie. This is great for showing off for the cover shoots of magazines.

This trick requires level 3 hydraulics. Tap A2, then hold A. Press Left Analog-stick Forward while still holding A. Release A while holding Left Analog-stick Forward. Release the Left Analog-stick and the car should still be bouncing on its front wheels. If so, hold the R to accelerate and the car should pop a wheelie for about 10 to 15 feet.

Recommended cars:
One of the best cars in the game is the Toyota Corolla. Once you obtain all level three performance upgrades, you can go online and sup it up. Add whatever desired, including all level three upgrades then go to tuning and set it to drag so that it can take off the line quicker. Then, lower the suspension to the lowest setting. You should now have a car that can beat Celicas and Skylines, and will take off the line faster.

After unlocking all level three performance parts, get a Nissan 240SX and put all of the performance parts on it. If you go online with this car with performance parts on the car and get mostly perfect shifts during a drag, you should be able to beat all other car excluding other 240SX's. If you want to go even faster, you will have to edit the settings of your car on the dyno run.

To get a fast Nissan Skyline that goes up to 227 to -228 on the airport freeway drag race, install all performance parts except for the six speed transmission. If you install the six speed transmission, you will get better acceleration but less top speed.

Refill NOS:
To fill your NOS gauge when you have hydraulics, flip any car or SUV and hold A for about two seconds. Then, press any button to activate the hydraulics. Immediatley, the word "Hydro" will appear on the right hand side of the screen with a number underneath. The number should continue to rise and not stop. To stop doing this, release A and press BACK to flip the car back over, starting with a NOS gauge filled to the overflow gauge.

Winning an outrun:
Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of the opponent and get in the lead. Get as far as possible until the distance meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to drop, it indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a handbrake skid and turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from. The opponent will follow you as you are the one in lead, but he will take time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.

Wrongly unique part name:
When you complete the required amount of wins in outrun in level 2 to unlock the unique hoods, it gives you a list of three parts and their carbon-fiber counterparts. When using a Honda Civic, you will get the Speedline, Factor X, and Trap hoods. For their carbon fiber counterparts, there will be Speedline, Factor X and another Factor X. The hoods are the correct counterparts but the name will be wrong.
