Step 1: Acquire the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R
To begin the Weekly Challenge in Forza Horizon 5, you need to be behind the wheel of the 1990 Nissan Pulsar GTI-R. Known as the “Baby Godzilla,” this JDM classic is available in the Autoshow or can often be found as a reward in the Festival Playlist. Its lightweight chassis and ATTESA AWD system make it a versatile platform for the multi-surface challenges ahead.

Step 2: Best Tune for Street and Dirt Racing
The “On The Run” challenge requires you to compete in different disciplines. For the street racing phase, focus on stiffening the suspension and maximizing the turbo spool. When transitioning to dirt, ensure you are using Rally Tires and increased ride height to soak up the bumps. This JDM gem excels when you keep the RPMs high through the corners.

Step 3: Mastering the Speed Trap Challenge
One of the trickier chapters involves hitting high speeds in a car not naturally aerodynamic. By adjusting the final drive ratio in the tuning menu, you can push the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R toward the 200 mph mark. Find a long straight, such as the main highway in Forza Horizon 5, to clear this objective with ease before heading back to the technical trials.
