i picked up this game in ‘07 with the ol reliable slim ps1 when i was 6 years old boy, and the core memory i had were how much i love the viper gts, how excited am i when i got the viper gts-r, and how my grandma passed away on the bed behind me while i was playing this game. 17 years later when i just finished my degree thesis and knowing i have nothing to do, i decided to download duckstation and gran turismo for the sake of my nostalgia. my english and logical thinking have been improved since then and i could tune the cars comfortably, despite still can’t reach every car’s maximum potential; but hey at least i finally able to beat the SS11 2 endurance when i can’t do that back then. i’ve been diving into forums to learn how people tune their cars and just now i found your video through r/granturismo subreddit. thank you for your prolonged research and creating this video, now im invested in redoing all the event again with a more proper car settings.

I'm playing this right now. Bought a ps2 slim with a copy of the game!

10 months later for me and gt4 has become too easy sadly. I must have played like 600 hours of this game, it was awesome! Do you have any recomendations of where to go from here?

wow didn't know that GT2 modeled slip streaming.

Great Win

I know this video is over a year old by now, but can someone please tell me how can i setup my duckstation to have quick loading times on GT1?

the thumbnail reminds me of a story my friend told me about how he beat a bunch of Lancer Evos with an NSX on an online GT6 lobby. love your vids, Tea.

Who ever made this. Thank you!

I just gave up playing Korean version because I couldn't find any patch files for analog triggers... Now I have to start again on USA version😂😂 Gonna have to beat driving mission 11 again....ha

I think a lot of the "understeer simulator" criticism would have been avoided if ASM was off by default.

For Nissan Skyline GT-R M-spec Nür (R34) ‘02, I don't see an option for original turbo, but I see stage 1 through 4.

I done this last week funny enough

Increible

can you win acura rsx again after selling it

Na engines have a tendency of more hp.

Although I still don't understand all of it, but I feel that this guide is the best! I have to follow it slowly though.

I just learned that this trick exists, and this is probably the best explanation to perform it that exists. Thanks a lot mate.

An extra note: you can get a tiny boost in acceleration if you apply the gear trick in a different manner, however it's much more involved and requires a lot of trial and error. The acceleration boost is most noticeable in GT2. In GT4, the boost is so insignificant from my testing that it's not worth going for IMO. The gear trick example shown in this video stores an "internal" final drive of 5.500 (the ratio when auto is set to 1), then an "external" final drive of 3.800 (the ratio after you've applied the trick and stretched out the gears). Optimally, you want the external final to be as low as possible (2.500 in this example), which means you need to figure out what the internal final needs to be, so the car's gears will be long enough after you set the external final to 2.500. In my GT2 Ultimate Guide, I outlined a method for this: go into a machine test, apply the gear trick with internal final 5.500, move 1st gear all the way to the left, lower the final drive, then test the car's launch in the machine test so it launches smoothly without stalling or excess wheelspin. Take note of the external final (let's say it's 3.500), subtract the lowest possible final from the external final to get the difference (in a car with a final range of 2.500 - 5.500, this would be 2.500, so 3.500 - 2.500 = 1.000), add a 'magic number' of 0.450 (1.000 + 0.450 = 1.450), then subtract this number from the highest possible final (5.500 - 1.450 = 4.050). Re-do the gear trick again, but set final to 4.050 instead of 5.500, then move the final slider to 2.500 and arrange the individual gears as normal. You can see an example of this here: czcams.com/video/V0FYoi88srw/video.html There is one more gear trick specific to vanilla versions of GT4 (it won't work on GT4 Online builds) that completely breaks the ratio ranges and allows you to create free-form gear ratios. When you apply the gear trick, the game stores the internal final drive used, even if you exit the gear setup screen without saving your changes. If you first apply the gear trick with final 5.500, move 1st gear all the way left and 2nd gear all the way right, save, re-enter, apply it again with final 3.600, press Cancel, then re-enter, the individual sliders for 3rd and 4th gear will be extremely misaligned and you can create ridiculously small RPM drops. You can then save, re-enter, and do it again with final 2.800 to adjust 5th and 6th in the same manner. This trick doesn't have a proper name yet, but I have some example setups in my GT4 Tune List if you Ctrl+F for "hyper-close gear setup".

If I remember correctly, I bought cars in this order: - Toyota Supra Turbo (3^ gen) - Viper GTS (❤) - Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo (MR ? Most powerful version) ..and other for fun. 24 years ago 😂 Great video When I toke GT2, I bought again Supra 3^ gen at start, not best choose in GT2 but good enough 😅

Thank you so much for this. I've just got into the game and was struggling a lot to win events, in great part because I'm a horrible driver. Putting the rear wing, which I previously assumed to be completely cosmetic, on my little Honda Beat and maxing the downforce suddenly turned it into the fastest cornering car on the track, skyrocketing my progress.

Good Play.

Fantastic guide thank you so much. Enjoying GT7 with a wheel lately has made me play again GT3 on steam deck oled and that career mode is fantastic. Your guide is exactly what I needed. Just a question: do you think default controller layout without pressure sensitive button is bad? Or good enough (not sure if I should force myself to get used to stick for throttle)

I've been finding the Mitsubishi 3000GT series of cars to be very hard to tune especially for universal use like a jack of all trades tune so no matter what tarmac track I'm on it does fine sort of thing.

Upon buying, there is no car worse than the Lancia Stratos. Car won't behave testing it's time on Test Course. I don't know how to tune it, this stuff is confusing to me.

This is awesome!!! And btw I have your old tuning guide downloaded and realised that your lotus Elise 111r is really slow and unfun to drive. Maybe I'll come to edit this comment later with my tuning that is very much the opposite of what you did to that car. Also the stabilisers need to be on 1, since with or without them the car will wobble like a gelatin at high speeds, so at least let the body roll to keep the wheels in contact with the ground.

I thought this was a 1 hour shitpost of a game that ill never play so i would watch and now i am well informed if i ever get to play it i will cook fo sho

replaying these in 2024 this guide very helpful thx :)

I come from the future to say that i accidentally put on the rigidity thing my black GT one toyota without realizing it screw up the car :(

Could you also do the same but without GT3? I wonder what the GT4 only fastest time can be.

i love your guides. I wish you could remake this guide but with your voice it so I can listen to it like a podcast. keep up the great work!

Gran Turismo 4 - The San Andreas of Gran Turismo

please never take this video down m. I will refer to anyone interested in this game onto this video

Thanks for making this video 👌 I do appreciate it it.

Also, how you make the graphics look so good? I have a ps1 emulator in my phone and it looks different.

Wow, very impressive, how you tune the car, how you drive it and win 😳😳👌.

since this is an hour and half long slideshow presentation withouth voice over - do you have it somewhere as an article so I can read it few minutes?

help plz. when i set l2 r2 to brake and gas by mapping them as right stick up and down on duckstation, they act delayed or sometimes they dont work at all. for example when i press l2 to brake, car starts breaking a few seconds later. brake lights blinks a few seconds later and idk why. sometimes they dont work at all

Hi @TeaKanji I am playing the Randomizer mod and I am trying to complete 100% of the game. The problem is that I don't have the Formula GT, so do you see feasible to win the championship with some LMP or Group C car? If so, which one would you recommend? Thank you very much!

Gt4 Speedrun: Step one: speed run the beginning of Gran Turismo 3

Where is the "trick"? This is just gear ratios.

I'm a pretty inexperienced player and trying to start using your tuning specifications but I'm struggling a lot more with the car spinning out compared to using more stock tuned cars, do you have any advice for preventing this? I find it hard to tell what I did wrong when my car goes haywire and it makes it pretty frustrating to try to improve. right now I'm using the Renault clio sport v6 phase 2 if it helps
