After the Prince Motor Company/Nissan merger, the Prince name was used for a network of Nissan dealerships in Japan that sold and maintained Skylines (among other models), until in 1999 Nissan reorganized the entire dealership network into "Red Stage" and "Blue Stage".

The problem is that it isn't really a glitch, it's just an unfortunate mathematical result of how the PI system works with its mystical test track. I think the best way to solve this would be to have three PI tracks (short, med, long), then average the PI result. I don't see that happening in a title update.

The Nissan Leaf also benefits from this, but it isn't even an engine swap that does it, just the regular upgrades. It pretty much kills on short/medium tracks in D class because it can accelerate so quickly out of turns.

Ok kemosabe you drive your leaf and I'll take a 600hp D350 superbee we'll see who prevails.

I've got one that I've upgraded to A class and it's competitive.

Well, there we go. S650 will be the limit for the three races I'm planning (Old Le Mans, Nords and Sebring)

This will be a bit of a run up to the GoonPrix series (Prix, in this case, is pronounced "pricks")

It's a list of all the wheels and their weight in Forza 4.

I just want to use this opportunity to say that Rota wheels suck major balls and shouldn't even be included in this game. They don't even know how to make their own style wheels and just steal designs from other manufacturers, and are known for low quality casting process.

Whenever I see Rotas on a track car an angel dies.

Forza 4 is really great! :stare: So much better than GT5, and the career mode is really fun. This feels like a sandbox racing sim, because you can do basically whatever. The game gives you an overwhelming amount of freedom to play it however you want. It's really awesome.

The only thing i'm trying to figure out now, is how to save screen shots to a USB drive or upload them to my Forza Profile on the FM.net website. Uploading them doesn't seem to work right now.

I put TSW rims on all my cars, it's my favorite looking of the ultra lights.

In previous Forza games, I always used Volk because they have a pretty nice five spoke rim.

Sometimes, Hole Shot for american muscle styling.

You can't save them directly to a USB drive, which blows, but uploading a photo to the storefront should allow you to find the photo on your FM.net profile. Servers have been getting hammered since launch, I guess just give it a bit of time and let it catch up.

I also read once upon a time there's a bug where you have to upload a standard rez shot before uploading a big res shot.. the website won't recognize you have anything uploaded without at least one standard available.

No idea if it's true or not, haven't done any big shots yet.

My new favourite S class car. It's so drat stable, it's a touch slower than the F40 I use for hotlapping but the ease of driving this thing makes it better for actual racing. I just wish Forza had the proper wheels to go with the livery. :(

I just liked to pretend that they were the actual nismo lm gt4 wheels in the game, until fm4 comes along with its fancy graphics and you can see the rota centercap clear as day :negative:

RS6's for me, but since they're on my first car there's nothing about it that I don't love, even with a busted transmisson, missing side mirror, and non-working sunroof.

You have to head to the marketplace on the in-game main menu. It should register as free in there.

I'm so stupid. So I first sign up for the pre-order incentive but didn't own Forza 3. That's cool, I was willing to sacrifice the one unicorn for the bonuses in this game.

Only presuming I'd been rewarded, I've been biding my time until the first reward. Of course, since then, I've changed by Gamertag but big deal, right? Yep, forgot to send the new one in an e-mail to Turn10. Now it's too late.

drat.

On the bright side, I'm past level 50 and having a blast with the game. FYI, if you've not followed my ramblings before, I still have not started career mode.

This game . . . it's marvelous.

By the way, I said come in!, in case you haven't tried this yet, the method mentioned by xzzy does work. Well, it did for me back on launch day. If you've tried that and still have problems, maybe the error is server-related. Enjoy your new game (and console).
