Cheats found in GRAN TURISMO 4 after almost 20 YEARS

[@MattJ155]

Cheats: Some cheat codes are available and usable only after 365 game days have passed. 10,000,000 Credits (GT Mode Screen): Select, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, L1, R1, Select Pass any license (License Selection Screen): Select, R1, Select, R1, Select, L2, L2, R2, R2, L1, Select, L1, Select Gold any specific license test (License Test Selection Screen): Select, Select, R1, R2, L2, L2, Select, L1, R1, Select, R2, L1, Select Gold any event (Event Course Selection Screen): Select, L1, Up, Up, Select, R1, Down, Down, Select, L2, Select, R2, Select There is an extra code usable in the Mission Hall, which also adds 10,000,000 Credits. It is presumably implemented incorrectly and should instead allow completing any mission. The code is Select, R2, Select, R2, L1, L2, L2, Select, L1, R1, Select, R1, Select. tcrf.net/Gran_Turismo_4#Cheat_Codes

the toyota rsc rally raid car can now be put to rest. it served us well as a car for grinding money for years. i remember grinding for multiple RSC's just to get a nissan r390 road going version. it felt like hours, but the payoff was worth it

[@Stoven_XO]

Ohhh maaan the good ol days I remember that 👍

[@gabrielcosta3301]

Man that is not the best way to grind money, I used it to grind just to buy a decent enough mercedes to get through the silver arrow event, then you turbo the Touring mercedes and go to the DTM championship, do it in spec B, I find that it's better if I just do the qualifying in the first race, as the AI has trouble passing on that track, on all others just go directly into b spec mode, let it pass and get it down to the 2nd or 3rd speed mode to make it safely to the finish line in 3 times speed, a few minutes of this award you a racing mercedes plus around 200k credits, sell the merc for 750k and you get 950k credits by driving a couple of qualifying laps and then waiting 10 minutes for the races.
