How to unlock the ??? achievement in IMPORT TUNER CHALLENGE - Definitive Guide

This rival can only be raced after defeating EVERY other rival in the game, including Team members AND Wanderers.

He drives a vintage Datsun that has extraordinary power and speed, so follow this guide carefully and don't get frustrated.

Upon defeating every rival in the game, select the Dawn racing time (Dawn only seemed to work for me, but others have said time does not matter) and go race. As soon as your Autopilot goes off, he will challenge you.

He drives fast and likes to cut you off at every chance, but has one weakness that is easily exploited. He will brake HARD if there is traffic coming up. Take this time to pass him, or bump him behind a car. With this you will take alot of his SP bar down in no time. This may need to be repeated several times in the race, but stay focused and use traffic to block him.

After beating him you will earn 100,000,000 CR and unlock his car in the shop for purchase.

I got him to race me at midnight as well. After I defeated the last wanderer, I got challenged by him.

6-8 hours on average. 2-5 hours extra completing the wanderers various (and at times ludicrous) requirements.

I would just like to point out that it doesn't have to be dawn. He first challenged me during midnight, and since then I have challenged him in both dawn and midnight. I'd hazard a guess that night works too.

For me he would only race at dawn, but I could be wrong; it has been a while since I played. Thanks for the comment. :)

You can race him any time, not just Dawn and for winning him you get 100 million, not 1 million!

As Death Driver said, you must defeat EVERY other racer in the game to race ???. All racers and team members. All of them.

Here's a link to FinalSomnia's excellent guide to finding and defeating all the Wanderers: http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/934694-import-tuner-challeng....

EDIT 18/08/11: The link to the guide had changed so updated it. As Xx CornDawg xX has said, the best car to use is a fully tuned R34 Skyline. It shouldn't be too difficult to win if you block him at every opportunity. Truthfully, the hardest part is beating all the Wanderers.

Great guide. For more info on Death Driver, I found rumor about him on MIDNIGHT, KYOBASHI PA, by speaking with TAKAYUKI NAITOU. He said something like "Do you believe in ghosts?"
A side note, I did not collect rumors before, so I had to go to that location several times, so that I collected previous rumors.

None of the others really mention what car works the best. I tried many different cars tuned all the way and the best seems to be the nissan skyline r34. With it tuned fully you can beat him...but it will not be easy by any means. It will be luck. He breaks for traffic and curves hard but he catches up very fast. Just keep trying and return to garage to refill your boost.

Few additional tips to above solutions which no one haven't mentioned ealier.

1. You can't meet and beat all rivals at once - you can race only with the ones with blue X in 'Rivals' menu in your garage. If for example you wan't to beat driver #368 but he's not on list

2. Next rivals will appear when you beat some of the bosses, final boss after beating which all rivals will become avaiable is Snake Eyes.

To earn this achievement, you will have to defeat every other rival in the game, including all Wanderers for each time zone. After you defeat every other rival, if you are already racing during daybreak, he will challenge you as soon as you finish your last race, so make sure you have your best car out. If you are not racing during daybreak, go grab your best car, make sure it is tuned as well as possible, and enter into the C1 loop at daybreak. Beware, he is EXTREMELY fast and can take turns fairly well compared to the rest of the rivals in the game. The only real chance you have is to trap him behind two other cars and squeeze through the traffic yourself. After doing so, he will eventually get through the cars and be behind you in no time. Do what you can to block him and keep him behind you. Block his vision and make him rear end another car, and just keep going as well as you can. You have to be sure to not mess up at all while ahead of him, or he will pass you in the blink of an eye.

Edit: I used the Toyota Supra fully tuned to beat him, and did it on the first try. You just have to keep him behind you
