Gran Turismo

I'm afraid there are NO cheats for Gran Turismo, the only cheats that I have seen are bogus ones that do not work (like the extra 300,000 credits one), but there is a bug in GT that lets you fit free parts. However I can give you some helpful tips on how to play through the game.

Starting Out

When you start the Gran Turismo mode, the first thing you have to do is buy a 2nd hand car. The best car to buy is the Mazda RX-7 GT-X.

Once you have got your car, you need to get a licence in order to be able to race it (see below). When you have obtained the B-Licence go to the race menu and choose the Sunday Cup. When you have won enough credits, go back to the Mazda garage and purchase some Racing Soft/Soft tyres, this will make your car handle better, and you should now be able to win the tournament every time.

Your next aim is to buy a new car. My personal preference is the Dodge Viper GTS. Just keep on doing the Sunday Cup until you have enough Credits.

Parts For Free

It seems there is a bug in GT which means you can make free duplicate copies of any parts you buy for a particular type of car. Try this:

• Buy two identical cars. Give them a different colour scheme if you like.
• Buy loads of parts for the first one - fully spec it up if you like.
• Check out its list of fitted parts from the garage (you should see a list of what you just bought).
• Switch to the other car and get in it (the one which you haven't fitted any parts on yet) and check its fitted parts list (should be empty).
• Still in the second car, go race (Spot Race will do).
• When you get options to qualify, go to Machine Setting, then Change Parts. You'll now find you can select all the parts from the other car, tyres, turbos, suspension, intercooler etc, in effect fully spec'ing up the second car.
• Exit the race, and go back to the garage. Check out the list of fitted parts for both cars. The parts are now installed for both of them!

NOTE:
This won't work for the Weight Reduction or Racing Mod options and a few other things (like port polishing), as these are not available from the Change Parts menu - they're not really "parts" as such anyway.
Also, it doesn't seem to work with cars that have been won.

Of course the best thing you can do with this is sell the extra cars. As it cost you nothing to increase its specs, you make a profit when you sell it!

Extra Credits

The easiest way to gain extra credits is to race and win each Cup or Challenge more than once, and then sell the extra Bonus Cars you receive.

Passing the Licence Tests the Easy Way

If you are really stuck on a particular stage leave GT Mode and return to the front menu. Choose "Replay Theatre" and then choose Demonstration, you can now choose the particular stage you are stuck on and you will see a demo run of it.
