The game will then tell you about its auto save feature. Select "OK". It then tells you about the flashing save icon. Select "OK". The game then tells you about not removing the memory card when the flashing save icon is flashing. Select "OK". Follow the next steps very carefully. The game tells that you can utilize a game save from Gran Turismo 3. It then asks if you would like to see details. Select "OK". You are told that you can transfer credits (up to 100,000). Select "OK". The game then tells you about updating the status of your licenses (A and B licenses). Select "OK". The game now tells you how to load the Gran Turismo 3 data. Read this carefully, then select "OK". You will be asked if you want to start the game. Select "Start". The loading screen appears, then the game brings you back to the main menu. Select "Gran Turismo mode", which is the second option down on the list. An arrow will appear on the "home icon". Press X to enter your home. At the top right of the screen, you will see the word "Status". Move the arrow over to it and press X. Take out the memory card that has the newly created Gran Turismo 4 data and insert the memory card that has your Gran Turismo 3 data stored on it. At the bottom of the status screen you will see (Square) return and (Start) transfer game data. Press Start, first making sure that your Gran Turismo 3 data in now in slot one. You will be asked if you want to transfer game data. Select "OK" Be careful, as you can only do it once. If you make a mistake, you will have to start from the beginning.

Hint: New cars and tracks:

To unlock cars and tracks, compete in the GT Career mode. You can earn money there to upgrade your cars, and buy or sell new and used ones.

At the places where you can buy your cars (for example, BMW), you can find races that use a certain model of that dealer. This will unlock some of the bonus cars you cannot normally buy or win in a race. The cars that you get are very fast, and you can sell them for a decent price.

You can win different cars from series races that you have already completed. For some series, you are given the option if you would like to clear your current records. If you do this, you can race those courses over again to win another prize car.

Hint: Easy money:

After transferring your licensees and credits from Gran Turismo 3, buy the Dodge Viper GTS and soupe it up. Then, go to the Special Event races and compete in the Capri Rally Easy. After you win both races, you are awarded with a rally car worth 236,000 credits. Go back to the Capri Rally and compete in it again. You will be given the Same Rally Car. Sell one, and you will have 236,000 credits.

Buy a decent car like an Evolution (must be of Japanese make) and upgrade it as much as possible. Then, go to Japan and compete in the All Japan race. Each gold awards you 7,500 credits (five races), and all golds gives you 35,000 credits. You will win a 350Z race car at the end. get In the new 350Z and upgrade if desired. Then, compete in the All Japan race repeatedly. Each time you get all golds, you will get another 350Z that can be sold for over 318,000 credits.

After transferring your licenses and credits from Gran Turismo 3, buy a Civic Type R (EP or EK). Then. add mods to it to get over 230 hp. Go to the Honda dealer and join the Civic races in the One-Make Races. Finish first in all the race courses and you will be awarded the Mugen MOTUL Civic Si Race car '87. Sell it for 90,000 credits. Then, repeat the process again.

Once you win the Cadillac Cien from the two easy Citta di Aria races, and have acquired the IA License, go to the Normal Tsukuba Circuit Wet race. If you manage to win the race (which should not be too difficult in the Cien as long as you can handle driving on the wet road), you will earn 10,000 credits and a Mazda6 Touring Car worth over 93,000 credits (if sold).

Get any car that has about 400 hp and go to the Special Condition Event. Select the second race from the top. Defeat the CPU in both races and you will get a car that can be sold for 260,000 credits. You can also use that car to race in the same event. When prompted to clear the trophies, answer "OK". When you win, you will be awarded the same car.

After loading you Gran Turismo 3 game credits (100,000 credits) and A and B licenses into you Gran Turismo 4 game save, Go to Tuner Village in the lower left hand corner of the main menu. Select HPA Motorsports and buy the VW Golf look-alike, (2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32) for 31,870 credits. Exit from the Tuner Village and go to the Special Conditions Events icon. Enter the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32 into the Cost Di Amalfi race. Do both races forwards and backwards. This should only take about ten minutes with the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32. When you complete this event you will be rewarded with the 2002 Toyota Rsc Rally Raid Car, which has a selling price of 265,624 credits. Sell the 2002 Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car and enter the Cost Di Amalfi race again with the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32. You will be asked if you want to "Clear Records" from your previous races. Select "Clear" as your option. Enter the races again. Win both races and you will be rewarded with another 2002 Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car. Keep doing this repeatedly to get as much money as possible in the least amount of time. Within one hour you could have up to 1,650,000 credits. Keep returning here as your credits run out. Also, you will get an extra 10,000 credits for taking first place on both Costa Di Amalfi races. Also, the 2004 HPA Motorsports Stage II R32 can be entered into quite a few races very early in the game, so you do not have to waste your credits buying other cars.

Win a Chevy Chevelle SS 454 '70 from the American Muscle Car Championship (using a suped up Ford Mustang '05 recommended). Add a stage 2 or 3 engine setup then a supercharger to get 600 to 700 hp. Take it to the Classic Muscle Car championship and race using B-Spec. You can get a fast 10,000 credits because the race is only two laps (Laguna Seca recommended).

This trick requires some time. Once you can do it, this trick will give you over 890,000 credits in about ten minutes. You must have the IA license and the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car. To get this car, you must acquire or buy any Mercedes-Benz car that will be fast enough to win the Legend of the Silver Arrow competition (go to Germany, then Mercedes-Benz, then One-make races to find the Legend of the Silver Arrow event). Winning the Legend of the Silver Arrow competition will give you the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car. Once you have the Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car all the way fixed up to its maximum and the IA license, you are ready to start the trick. Enter the Deutsche Touring Car Meisterschaft Series race in the European Events. There are five races in this competition: Opera Paris, Mid-Field Raceway, High-Speed Ring Reverse, Nurburgring Nordschieife, and Fuji Speedway. You will not be doing any of the racing yourself, as you will instead use the B-spec Director's Mode on all five races. When you are ready to start the first race in the series, activate B-Spec Director's Mode. The race will now begin, and you will see the numbers one through five at the top of the screen. Press D-pad Right(2) so that it is highlighting the number "5", which signifies "Push" (the car will go as fast as it can). Once "5" is highlighted, press Triangle to put the car in overtake mode. Now that "5" and the little symbol next that number at the top of the screen are both highlighted, you are all set. Press R1 so that you are in Monitor Mode. While in Monitor Mode, hold L1 and press D-pad Right(2) so that the race will go by three times as fast. Do the same exact thing for all five races. It should take about ten minutes for all five races because you are in B-Spec mode. You should finish in first place always if done correctly. After all five races you will have 75,000 credits for being first place, plus an additional 75,000 credits for being the overall champion of the series event. On top of those 150,000 credits, you will also be rewarded the Mercedes CLK-GTR Race Car, which you can sell for about 743,000 credits.

Get a good rally car. It does not need any special tires. An Evo 8, MR is recommended. Then, go to the Special Conditions Events. Go to the second race in the event, known as the Capri Rally. It is fairly easy, but you need a A-Spec: National License. Once you win both races, you will get a Toyota RSC Rally Raid Car that can be sold for 265,624 crredits. You can then go back into the same race, clear all your records, and win the car again.

This trick requires two memory cards. Use the first memory card and buy good car for 10,000 credits or under. Trade the car to the other memory card and buy upgrades for it. Delete the block on the first memory card and restart so that you get 10,000 credits again. Trade it back to memory card one and repeat the process.

Start the game with 110,000 credits (from Gran Turismo 3), then buy a Viper or any other fast car. Win the first special race. You should obtain the Cadillac Cien. Use this car to win the second special race. You should be awarded with a rally car worth 236,000 credits. Sell this car and keep repeating this process for easy credits.

Hint: Extra horsepower:

Give your brand new car an oil change immediately when you get it (before driving it). It will usually gain between 5 to 30 hp.

Hint: Special rims:

The "Today's Special Rims" rotate every thirty game days. There are thirty different sets of rims. There are 439 total "Today's Special Rims". If you see a set you like, you will only see them every thirty game days -- buy them while you can.

Hint: A-Spec Points:

If you enter a race, and all the cars are very low end and you have a high end car, you will get very minimal A-Spec Points awarded and vice versa. For example, enter a 800 hp car into a race with the other five cars having between 200 hp to 300 hp. You will probably be awarded only 1 A-Spec Point if you win the race. Conversely, if you enter a 800 hp car in a race with five other cars that have between 750 hp to 900 hp, you will be awarded anywhere between 50 to 100 A-Spec Points.

To get the most A-Spec points out of a race and still have an advantage over the rest of the field you are up against, do the following to your car. Equip the following: nitrous bottle, any type of transmission, any clutch, any flywheel, any limited slip configuration, the carbon driveshaft, racing brakes, the brake controller, any suspension configuration, the VCD controller, the increase rigidity option, and the rigidity refresher plan. You can also configure the "Auto" setting on the "Transmission" option under "Setting" without losing A-Spec points. Note: Do not do any weight reductions. This will cost you A-Spec points for every race and is irreversible. For example, if you start a race that is worth 108 A-Spec points, doing a Stage 1 Weight Reduction will cost you about 17 to 20 A-Spec points, bringing the total down to 88 to 91, and so on for Stages 2 and 3. If you have already done a weight reduction to the car that you are in, you can lower the quality of the tires currently equipped to bring the total back up to the race's original amount and/or more. However, lowering the tire quality greatly reduces the chances for success. For example, if you have S2 Tires equipped with a Stage 1 Weight Reduction and only get 84 A-Spec points for the race, try to drop the tire quality down to maybe a S1 or N3 tire to get more A-Spec points for that race.

After earning some credits using the "Capri Rally" trick, buy a Dodge Ram pickup and equip it with every available modification, including the center differential controller set to about 30% torque to the front wheels. Select tires according to the race that you plan to enter, and lower the ride height as far as it will go. This will give you a 725 horsepower all-wheel-drive beast that handles fairly well and will earn you 125 to 200 A-Spec points in every race, even though the other cars in the race may be of much lower specification. This setup easily blew the doors off a Pagani Zonda C12 in the NA series under Professional Events as well as a few other cars that should, by simple laws of physics, be much faster.

You can change how many A-Spec points you can receive by entering a single race, then exiting it by using the "Exit" command in the lower right hand corner of the screen, then re-entering it again. You should notice a change in the cars you are going against, and the amount of the A-Spec points awarded. The amount of A-Spec points will change each time you exit and re-enter the race, You could get more or less. It is possible to receive as low as 1 and as high as 200 A-Spec points for the same race, but against different cars. Unfortunately what you end up with is completely random. Keep entering and re-entering until you get a good amount of A-Spec points. The CPU cycles through different amount ranges, depending on the equality between the cars in the race. Remember not to change the car's hp; leave it stock. Also, do not do any weight reductions, port and polish, or engine balancing; once they have been installed they cannot be uninstalled. The tires can be stock or ones of lesser quality. This is key to getting the most A-Spec points out of any race.

Hint: Speed up B-Spec races:

While in a B-Spec mode race, press R1 to switch to "Race Monitor". Hold L1 + D-pad Right and you can make the race go up to three times faster. The only downside is that you must stay on the Race Monitor screen in order to keep the race sped up. It will switch back to 1x speed when you go to "Broadcast View" mode.

Hint: Easy Nurburgring 24 Hour Endurance Race win:

Obtain the 2004 Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II (the white and black car in the opening sequence) from the Professional Events-GT World Champion race (ten races totaling 136 laps on ten different tracks). Buy everything available for the car, most importantly the Super Hard Racing Tires (R1s). Set the Auto Transmission feature to a value of 18. Equip the R1 tires and get ready for at least twelve hours (of sped up time) of hell. You must do this race in B-Spec mode with the 2004 Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II in order to guarantee a long hard fought win within thirteen hours real time instead of twenty four hours real time. In B-Spec mode, you have the option to speed up the race by entering the Race Monitor Screen by pressing R1. Then, hold L1 and use the D-pad Left or D-pad Right to go from real time up to three times normal speed. At the beginning of the race, set the auto pilot to a value of 5 (Push) and turn the overtake feature on by pressing Triangle. Once you get ahead of the pack and have a decent lead, turn off overtake and set the autopilot to 2 (Cruise). You should only have to pit every three to four laps. Get everything every time that you pit (tires and fuel). Set the autopilot back to 2 (Cruise) once you leave the pit. Continue this strategy until the end of the race. This will net you a Formula One car.

Hint: Shorter 5 and 10 race championships win:

These are the races where you are forced to race five or ten races in a consecutive order. For each first place finish you obtain, you will get 10 championship points. For second place, 6 points are awarded. In a five race championship, you can get a total of 50 points. In a ten race championship you can get 100 points. The reason for the points is to determine an overall winner for the championship. If you have more points than everyone else, you win. For example, assume at the eighth race you have 80 points (first place x eight races = 80 points), and second place has 48 points (second place x eight races = 48 points). There are only two races remaining, and a total of 20 points to still be awarded. If second place has 48 points + the 20 points remaining to get, this only gives second place a total of 68 points for the entire championship if he were to win the last two races. You have 80 points, which is more than the second place's 68 points. If you were to quit out of races nine and ten and give the points to second place, you will still win the championship. Once the championship is complete, you can always go back and "clean up" to get gold on the two races that you did not do at anytime, thus shortening the championships length. This also works on five race championships. Just make sure you have enough points to win if you quit the last two races. You will still be rewarded the championship money and car. You can also do this in the middle of the championship. For example, if you did the first four races and the fifth is Nurburgring, you can quit out of it and move onto race six. As long as you have more points than second place, you can quit out of as many races as desired, thus shortening the length of the overall championship.

Hint: Random cars:

Watch out for random cars that can acquire parts from Tuner Village other than the cars you can buy there. A VW Golf that you bought from the VW dealership in Germany can get parts from Germany/VW and Tuner Village. A Nissan Skyline that you bought from the Nissan dealership can get parts from Japan/Nissan and Tuner Village, etc. There are too many cars to list. The same applies to Used and Historic cars.

Hint: Practice:

On any race that you enter with an option to "Practice"; this is a hidden qualifying round. It is actually a qualifying round for the race that you are entering. Do the practice until you see first place at the top of the screen. Once you see this, quit practice and start the race in either A or B-Spec modes. Your car will start in first place.

Hint: View ending sequence:

Win The Gran Turismo World Championship in Professional Events.

Hint: Mercedes SLR McLaren 2003: Retractable spoiler:

Put any replay camera on the normal replay mode and look at the trunk area of the car. A wing comes out of the trunk to help slow the car down.

Glitch: King Dome in Seattle Circuit:

Just before Safeco Field (The Mariner's Stadium), the Kingdome stands on the right. The Kingdome was the Mariner's old stadium and was destroyed in a giant implosion on March 26, 2000, and thus should not currently appear in the game.
