I haven't tried it yet, but I heard the gifting once per day resets at 2am GMT. I live in the Eastern Time Zone so does that mean I can gift a car once today and then again after 9pm tonight? Of course my gift after 9pm tonight would count as my gift for tomorrow. Does this make sense?
 
I can send cars at 11.59 PM and then again at 12.00 AM , GMT

This is correct, it resets at 12:00pm GMT, so whatever that time is for your region is when the daily allowance resets.

The 24 reset cycle is at 7PM EST. I myself don't like to think of as different days just individual 24 hours cycles.

If you haven't gifted in past 24 hours you could send one car up to 6:59pm EST and then send another at or after 7:01pm EST because that starts the next 24 hours cycle. Then the next day you couldn't send another car until after 7:01pm.
 
I'm in New York, (EST) and my 24 hrs resets at 12:01AM, not 7PM.
I'd much prefer 7PM but nah ah...
 
I'm in the UK and it's Midnight for me. I tried setting the PS3 clock wrong, but GT5 gets the time from it's own server :(
 
Only one explanation...your PS3 logs in to a preferred server and locks in. so whatever time zone that server is on is what you're on.:)
 
I can tell you at the moment the gift reset and museum cards/bonus paints only happen at 1am GMT, seems the GT servers dont observe daylight saving yet

We are now BST (British Summer Time) in the UK ie GMT+1. I think it's the Sony servers that haven't updated the time which I am guessing only changes in the uk. Once they update the time I reckon the UK reset will be 1am

So, I think it should still be 00:00 GMT for everyone (even the UK)

Last night (this morning) I couldnt send paints till 1.03am, anytime I tried before then after 12.01am I told me I had sent my limit for that day plus it didnt give me my 10 paints till after 1 am too not at midnight......Strannnnnge lol

Hey, you got yourself confused with GMT. In the UK we are now GMT+1. You wont be able to trade until 1am. Even after they fix the time (ie still showing 1hr behind) the reset will remain 00:00GMT.

Until the clocks go back in Oct we will have to get used to the reset being at 1am in the UK.

Newsflash:::: the clocks went forward.
this means we are GMT+1 in the UK, therefore the reset is GMT+1, ie 1am.
 
So if it's 6:16 p.m CST here in Texas, that means it's 12:16 a.m in GMT? Correct? Trying to get my clocks straight for trading purposes.
