Well here's my new 24" flat screen TV, while GT3 is playing. Yeah I know, I need to get GT4, I will soon. But this is my twin-turbo 300zx souped up at 932 HP!

i don't think gt4 was as good as gt3, grafics were better but you couldn't slide and drift around as much anymore, it's kind of like being on tracks.

oh and bad *** tv, and rod i think the 24" is in the car.

Go to the settings and disable or completely turn down every drivers aide there is. Those are what hold you back. Do this and the old Z's will actually handle like they're supposed to instead of with the state of the art traction control that the Polyphony Digital thought they should incorporate into every single car

Ah, but GT4 had the 280ZX! (ok, ok "280ZT"). If you go into the car's settings and dial down the traction control, you'll definitely slide around more!

Apollo was the first on here to do em, and he did the work himself (I paid a shop to do mine). In a nutshell, you just remove the taillights, weld up a metal plate over the holes where the taillights used to go, mold in the edges, and cut the holes for the new taillights. As far as reverse lights go, I just used some clear side marker lights, which make a subtle touch on either side of my license plate.
