Gran Turismo 4 Hints

To get a Blue (acceleration) and Red (brakes) Licence Test Guide simply push R3 during 3,2,1,Start. It shows you the best route to go and where to start braking. This only works on the B and A license tests and tests where there is no pace car.

You can get all the Autobot's ('part from optimus Prime and Rachet) on GT 4.
Bumblebee=Chevrolet Camero '96 or '95
Jazz=Pontiac Solstice or Sunfire (only the Sunfire has Jazz's colour)
Ironhide=Nissan Nivara (IT GETS RESPECT)
Man I love saying that!

On days 694-700 in the used car lots you can buy special black versions of:
1.Toyota GT One Race Car
2.Mazda 787B
3.Nissan R390 Race Car
4.Nissan R92CP Race Car

To Buy them all it comes to roughly 9,000,000 credits

When using the automatic transmission option, hold R2 to make your car remain in the same gear. This is great for remaining at a given speed through a corner, or stretching the top end of a gear for a little extra speed/performance.

A second-hand Honda Beat. 8000 rpm, 4000 credits!
I'm not joking.
Seriosly.
I swear to god.
I tried it.

U go on german touring car comp(european events)with the mercedes SILVER CLK touring car tune it up to the max and win 4 of 5 races so ur guarantied a win (u get 15,000 per race) u get more for winnin the championship and sell the car u get for 750,000 credits EASY MONEY!!!!!

You buy a Skiline or RX 7 osv. And you go to Tuned cars and you see turbo stage 5.

On Apricot Hill, go reverse. It's on the 2nd turn before you start going down
hill. Look way over on the mountain side, look striaght. On the side of the
mountain there is grayish, what appears to be smoke coming up and blowing
towards the right.

On Trail Mountain normal, get to the end of the big straight, the one with the tunnel. Before you get to the big banked sharp turn you can look out over the valley or whatever. There is a lone tree staning there, bare, just standing there. That's one big big tree.

Start out with any vehicle you like. When you make enough money to make your vehicle faster using the beginner hall, move over the the special conditions Hall. Defeat the first race (Rally d'Umbria) and you will receive a Cadillac CIEN '02. Get more money and put more power into your Cadillac CIEN '02 (you won't have to if you don't want to). The CIEN will gain almost 1000+ HP. Go to the second race with the CEIN in the Special Conditions Hall called Rally d'Capri. After you win that race you will get a Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car '02
which you can sell for more than $230,000+. Keep racing that race and keep making the money.

To obtain over 260,000 credits easily just take your best car and take it into
the Rally d'Capri easy in the Special Conditions hall. Once you obtain the car
sell it and you get over 260,000 credits. You can repeat this over and over and soon enough you should be able to afford anything you want.



Enter the European Hall event 1000 Miles! I recommend either the Ginetta G4 '64 (won from Beginner Lightweight K Cup) or the Chevelle SS 454 '70 (won from American Muscle Car Championship). Enter the Cote d'Azur race (I think the last one works just the same). Make sure your car's HP is near or above 200. Put it on B-spec, 5-Push, overtake, 3x speed. Come back after a couple hours (this works best if you leave it overnight). You should have won the race, along with 150,000 credits! This can also be done with the championship race, which is 4 races. 4 races times 150,000 credits plus 300,000 credit prize equals 900,000 credits. The prize car is crappy, but who cares, you have 900,000 credits from doing nothing

There are a number of "hidden" controls in Gran Turismo 4 that will make navigating the game a bit easier.
On the main Gran Turismo Mode screen, press L1 to jump the cursor to Home, and press R1 to jump the cursor to the country of your vehicle's manufacturer.
When looking at your garage in Home, press START to bring up the vehicle settings screen.
When changing your vehicle's settings, press START to enlarge the Engine Power/Torque curve.
At the end of a series race, press START to skip the finish times and championship points screens.
During a replay, press L3 to fast-forward.
During a pit stop, press X to to stop refueling, letting you get out of the stop faster.
With the Driving Force Pro wheel, press any combination of the LEFT, RIGHT, and DOWN buttons on the D-pad to look in that direction while driving.

When you buy or receive a new car, before driving it change the oil. This will increase the Horse Power of the car, which sometimes can be a pretty significant increase.

If you have a save file from GT3 you can import money and licenses into GT4.
You can transfer license qualifications but you do not receive the unlockable items that come with the license when you get them without importing. You can transfer money up to 100,000 dollars. This can only be done once.

If you install a NOS system on your car, you can tap into it by pressing the R1 button. The Nitro guage is located to the right of the dash. Once it is empty,
you will need to take a pit stop to refuel it or wait for it to slowly recharge.

If you look really close on the side of the Nike One, you can see a small area near the front of the car of morse code. If you go into photo mode, this will become clearer. The morse code is written backwards as to be seen correctly from inside the car. Spelled out, it is " www.Phil-Frank.com " the website of the Phil Frank Automotive and Product Design Company. Phil Frank was paid to design the futuristic Nike car specifically for Gran Turismo 4.

To speed up your replays simply press down L3 and to turn off the background music simply press O.

Trnsfer money from gt 3 to gt 4 (100,000 credits) and then go to america. go to buick and buy the buick special, then tuning, then try to max it out. go to special events, (the best event's the tsekuba circuit wet cause u get u get a touring car), do any road races there and you get a lot of money and sell the prize cars ( if u want 2) and that gives u easy money. done by thestig

When on National B or A license, press R3 (Press the right analog stick) and a line should appear. Blue stands for accelerate and red stands for break. The darker the color the harder you press down.

Note: This doesn't work for lap guides

Before u race choose settings in the part that says a spec b spec..... and put asm/ tcs the highest it can go (this is good at that long as track (i think its called Nurburing))

THIS IS A ADDITION TO EASY HANDING: go to car settings and go to transmission there will be a bar saying close ------------------- wide make it wide then go race ;)

The 2 best kars that i suggest are the Mercades Benz SLR maclairen which goes at least 220 mph when its all suped up, dan the 03 dodge viper srt10 which goes at lest 230 or 235 when its all suped up. i beat the game already and those are the cars that i used. they have pretty good handeling, but AWESOME speed!!

Da best staring cars I think are...

Mitsubishi Evo III
Mazda rx-7[ any are good]
Subaru Impreza wrx

Note[ u miht ned 2 do da first mayde 2nd lisence, sell da cars if u wan't 2. Just 2 bmp up ya money] :)

Go to Special Conditions and enter 2nd race with a race car(just to be safe)and win both races...get the car and sell it and do that alot(I DID THAT AND GOT THE WHITE PESCAROLO RACE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!)
