Hey there. I have my own bit of information on Gran Turismo's final version, most of which I've popped up onto the page. One of the things I didn't put up was something I found in VRAM that was loaded during races. A turbo gauge & a fuel gauge! Both had indicators drawn on to their graphics, though the final never used fuel gauges or turbo boosts.

I'd love to see if they existed in the early demos of Gran Turismo you've shown, as well as gather other general data for a more visually detailed page. Most of what I've found appears in the Garage, manufacturer selection menu in Arcade, and in the middle of a race. Again, things that are loaded in VRAM that aren't seen in gameplay. -- Fuzn 14:19, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Is it possible to dig inside the hex file for Marvel Super Heroes' (1995 Capcom Arcade) debug menu to see some location test leftovers for Anita and the rest of the characters? Jiterdomer (talk) 01:31, 1 November 2014 (EDT)


Yes, I do have the Tanner's GT2 mod. Where can i send you that? SuperFrizzio (talk) 24:38, 30 Jenuary 2017 (EDT)

Gran Turismo 4 car prices

Good morning, are "unused car pricing" things worth to add? I saw a similar thing for GT1 Test Drive Disc Sal_89 (talk) 16:41, 5 April 2021 (GMT)

Not sure what you really mean - the price list on the GT1 Test Drive page is intended to track car price changes between GT1 builds. FMecha (talk) 14:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

In game data there are brand new prices for used cars. As the Fiat 500L costs around 18k Credits Didn't checked for prize cars, but I'm almost sure some have prices Sal_89 (talk) 19:05, 5 April 2021 (UCT)

From what I see it, I initially assumed it might've used for selling price calculation, although the 500L in the save I have doesn't seem to answer that (the 500L in my save is valued at Cr. 3,948 to sell, Cr. 15,792 to trade). FMecha (talk) 17:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Mmm... Maybe with a 10km used 500L the price can be the one I saw. I think that sell price is still a quarter of the brand new price --Sal 89 (talk) 17:43, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Gran Turismo 4 Used car prices explanation

In the last days I messed around to know how exactly the selling cars thing works. As soon as possible you buy any new car (I still need to test used cars), it will lose 15% of its value together the usual 3/4 of the value. In the case of the AC Cars 427 S/C '66 will be:

  • 423200*15÷100=63480. This is the 15% value loss
  • 423200-63480=359720. Car's price without that 15%
  • 359720÷4=89929. Base sell value


There are 10 selling values basing on mileage. I will explain the process always with the AC Cars 427 S/C '66. The selling values are as follow:

  • 0km -> 999.999km New car value
  • 1000km -> 2999.999km Price reduction 1
  • 3000km -> 4999.999km Price reduction 2
  • 5000km -> 9999.999km Price reduction 3
  • 10000km -> 14999.999km Price reduction 4
  • 15000km -> 24999.999km Price reduction 5
  • 25000km -> 39999.999km Price reduction 6
  • 40000km -> 59999.999km Price reduction 7
  • 60000km -> 99999.999km Price reduction 8
  • 100000km+ Price reduction 9


Then the selling values are:

  • 89929 Cr.
  • 84639 Cr.
  • 82523 Cr.
  • 81465 Cr.
  • 80407 Cr.
  • 79350 Cr.
  • 68769 Cr.
  • 52900 Cr.
  • 37029 Cr.
  • 10579 Cr.


Lastly, you can calculate the "new car value" of a car just reverting the calculation. Be careful. Also if you revert (multiplying by 4 and add an another 15%) the operation, some loss still occours. In this case will be 413678 Cr.

Kamen Rider Kuuga discussion

Hello, and thanks for your corrections on the Kamen Rider Kuuga page (which I obviously based on yours, haha). Anyway, I've opened a discussion page on the Kuuga entry to reach some sort of agreement and polish some details... Feel free to edit it as you wish! --Asran Ryuto (talk) 10:23, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Re: Filenames and Tags

All right, I will keep in mind that. For the tags, need I to add them while adding a caption on the image that need I to upload, correct?

Japanese/Chinese/Korean text

I figured on how to rip Japanese/Chinese/Korean text form Gran Turismo 4. For adding these on the GT4 page, what format should I follow? Native language then a translation of it? But I don't know nothing about these languages, then I should use Google Translator. Also, I found that between Japanese and Korean car descriptions there are small differences, at least in the case of the SILEIGHTY '98, where the Korean texts mentions drift on hills, that which in turn is an Initial D reference --Sal 89 (talk) 10:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

  1. The tags I mentioned on your talk page are to be added in the Summary field, i.e. where you put in your captions. Also, the game name in the filename is added on the Destination Filename field.
  2. TCRF's rules does not allow for machine translations like Google Translate, that's all I know. For now, leave it in the original language and put in {{needstranslation|lang=ja}} (ja for Japanese, kr for Korean, etc) tag before it. FMecha (talk) 08:17, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Gran Turismo 4 Unused Car Logos

Is worth to make a proper page for these? There are many unused logos for GT4, and I would upload all of these (also if a fair portion are duplicates) --Sal 89 (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Identical/Stock Caws?

Why are forcing us to make identical/stock caws? It isn't required by the rules for that.--LeoKids (talk) 21:03, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Not so much as being required as basically a suggestion - this is to ensure it also covers the differences in quality of CAWs. I'll ask a staff over the Discord. FMecha (talk) 21:05, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Al Unser

Hey FMecha, do you know a lot about F1 racers? I'm trying to identify who are the drivers shown in the Japanese version of Al Unser Jr Turbo Racer: https://twitter.com/VGMuseum1/status/1524724892020707329

I know #1 is Alain Prost, #2 is Nigel Mansell, #4 is Nelson Piquet and #6 is Ayrton Senna, but no one seems to know who #3 and #5 are. Based on the names, they have to be very famous. Do you have any idea? ReyVGM (talk) 02:10, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

About GT Research Server

Just wanted to ask if you still run that GT research discord server that you mentioned in FailBob2000's (by his YT username) talk page. - Farmer Cars (talk) 09:08, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
