Nissan 180SX Special Event - first tips and tricks

There were considerable number of whines after the last event (BNR34) and the new one seems just about the same - so here are a few tricks for those that thought the event was unbeatable without gold...

Dino, one of Speedhunters tuning experts, has chosen you to be his driver to take down the competition in a special JDM tournament.

• Compete in the Speedhunters Special Event to win the NISSAN Skyline BNR34 GTR
• Complete the 2 new Fastlane Special Events to win the 1997 Nissan 180SX Type X and the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T
• Look out for new limited-time rewards on replay events to earn Blueprints for rare cars
• Take advantage of limited-time bonus Fuel and Rep events

So any idea when 1969 Dodge Charger R/T is coming. The 1st Fastlane event (Nissan 180SX) came a bit closer to the Speedhunters event (NISSAN Skyline BNR34 GTR) considering earlier Special Event intervals. Bit of difficulty to accumulate gold for SE BPs 😉

Worry about 1997 Nissan 180SX Type X right now and 1969 Dodge Charger R/T after the current Fastlane special event. 😉

How much Gold do you have by the way?

The conversion kits are cheaper for this event as well...12,000 or 12,500 per kit! It was 20,000 per kit for the Skyline.

That does seem right as the Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34 is a Classic Sports car while the Nissan 180SX Type X will most likely be a Street car due to its low performance stats.

I have 2800 now. Should be able to buy the 40 BPs (325*8 = 2600). 🤔

Well, it seems we won't get enough to reach even 5* without gold. And if the last level would be 40 bps as with BNR34, this may not be enough. As for me, I might buy 5-10 blueprints to upgrade to 5*, if there would be enough materials to upgrade blue parts to 5th level, otherwise I do not plan any buying.

  I collected all the blueprints for the BNR34 in the crates over the course of the 14 days...id say we'll be able to do the same thing for the 180SX! BTW, I managed to collect 33 blueprints for the Huracan the past 2 days...took a load of cash though!!!

Then you'll have to worry about the next Fastlane Special Event featuring 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. lol

I have to worry too as I have 3,575 Gold. I still haven't recovered 2,600 Gold spent on buying 40 Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34 blueprints. 😬

I may be able to have 6 star Nissan 180SX Type X, but I may not be able to have a max stars 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. If that happens, then oh well. I can deal with it.

Good luck to all of us attempting to use our Golds! (y)

    @JimTudeski I just completed the first hunter race of chapter 4 with a PR of 426.
    
    Here's how I did it;
    
    1) Activate Nitrous as soon as possible and as often as possible.
    
    2) Drift your turns as tightly as possible accept for the one right after the jump.
    
    3) Avoid hitting anything- it kills your acceleration.
    
    This is my car:
    
    Unfortunately, I didn't screenshot my car immediately after winning- I was so happy I passed that I kept racing until my tickets ran out.
    
    P.S. I did not use gold to skip the race- I have precious little gold as it is. I also took it as a challenge to me and skipping the race would kill my inflated ego.
    
    It IS possible to win the race as you are.
