If this has already been posted, please close this topic.
I searched for a few keywords but didn't find any existing topic.
Anyway, we are all familiar with how to dupe a car by sending it to another account then restoring your save file.
I have also done this with paints, as you can send 5 paints per day, in addition to 1 car.
What I just released the other day is that the same thing can be done with parts.
1.) Go to your garage and pick any car that doesn't have the part(s) you want installed already.
2.) Go to the Tuning Shop and purchase the part, but when it asks if you want to "Install Now", say "No".
3.) Note: You can continue to buy the same part multiple times without leaving the shop as long as you don't install one.
4.) Once you have the parts you want, exit the Tuning Shop.
5.) Go to the "Items" sub section on the far left menu.
6.) Inside there you will see your parts, in addition to horns and paints.
7.) Gift the parts just like you would anything to you duper account.
8.) Standard duping actions from here: Exit the game, restore the backup you made beforehand, go to duper account, receive gifts, then resend them back to main account, log in to it and accept gifts.

Once you have a stock pile of parts, you just need to go to the "Items" section instead of the "Tuning" section for your upgrades.

You can send 5 parts per day.
Horns fall into the parts daily limit, so you can send 5 parts and/or horns per day.
It is separate tracking from paints. You can send 5 of those in addition to horns and parts.
It is of course separate from cars.

Yesterday I did this with 5 ECU tunes and today I did it with 5 sets of Racing-Soft tires.
I am losing no money and within a week or two I will have a stock pile of all tuning parts.

If this is already well known, maybe one person besides me is behind the times and will benefit from this!

Happy Duping GTP! :cheers:
 
Christ, is this what this game has really turned into? Duping and cheating wherever possible?
 
Epic, although, what i do is, buy the car, full upgrade, send to alt acct, delete data, re upload it, send it back full upgraded so i have to buy nothing. But your way seems like it could save a bit of time.
 
Parts are so cheap, why even bother?

Yup, when the only way to make decent money is to run the american indy over and over and over just holding left and accelerate, dam right im not gonna spend all my money on one car leaving me to run that dam race for fifty billion hours to make.some decent cash.

Exactly, max tuning a car comes to about 200k or so. And with seasonal events dishing out 300k for the lowest rewarding race, why bother?
 
Money is not an issue, especially with a 2+ million you get every 1-2 weeks from the dead easy seasonal events. I'm finding I have to keep spending money now to keep off the 20 million cap....
 
Parts are not a big deal whatsoever, imo. The only cars I dupe are ones that are one million or over, and I don't really have much use for many cars like that anyway, so I hardly ever dupe as it is. Duping for parts (lol) is a hassle that I just wouldn't put myself through.

I do that too, but of course you can only do that once per day.
The other thing I like about this method is that I don't always want all my cars tuned to the max.
I usually leave them all stock, until I actually need one, and then I will upgrade it appropriately based on what I will be doing with it.

As others have said, seasonal events are now an easy way to get 3 million credits or thereabouts every week. Also that is not the only decent way to make money otherwise, there are plenty of other races you can re-run, people just choose to do that one because it's the easiest and quickest.

Because some of us have 1,000 cars!

And also, I am not telling people they have to do this!
I'm just providing the information.
If you don't want to use it because you have plenty of money, or feel it is cheating, then that is fine, you don't have to use it.
But it is already evident by the replies here that some people do find it useful.

I'm having this problem too. I bought a Murcielago SV, then a normal Murcielago just for the Verde Ithaca bright green colour. :lol: Next time I'll have to buy a pink LFA.
 
Which you also glitched/duped. *sigh*.

Zzzzzzzing!

Also, I concur this may be useful if you like to max tune five cars a day, but for 95% of the players, dishing out 200k or whatever is not worth the hassle of booting up, powering down, setting up alternative accounts, etc.

I am well aware that you are the morality police around here, and some day you will learn that people don't actually care what you think and simply want to play the game the way that makes them happy.
And FYI, I have duped about 15-20 of the 985 cars I have. And I don't feel remotely bad about that.
:dunce:
 
You might as well do this while duping cars since you're duping anyway. A lot of my cars were bought before duping, and this is how I get the parts that I need for them. RSS is especially expensive because it's 36,000 per set, and 95% of rooms use them.

It also saves time because I almost never need to go into the tuning shop.

Even if some modifications are cheap, this beats going to the shop (time) paying for them (cost, for many cars).
 
I just can't believe what this game and community has turned into. Sure I expect people to do this sort of stuff but it's basically the norm around here now, and nobody seems to give a damn. If it can be glitched/duped, that's the way for most people.

Lol they make you 2-3 million, what happens when your collecting the cars worth 5 million? 3 million a week isnt that great of a reward when most of the cars you need are 4 million +

Next they'll be duping museum cards.

This shouldn't be surprising. Earning credits and XP isn't fun. It wouldn't be fun even if A-Spec was done right IMO.

I've said this 20,000,000 times, but I'll say it again. I bought GT5 to race. I hate trophies, driving with the AI isn't racing, earning cars doesn't mean anything, and game completion is meaningless. Further, duping isn't cheating and it helps make more cars/stuff accessable online. It's all for the better I say. And if you don't like, it shouldn't bother you at all.
 
I bought this game so when I get home from a hard day at work I could release some stress.
I think a few of you take this to serious!
It's a freaking game!!

Its faster to run indy 2-3 times for the money

Exactly, so why don't you just play the game you're given and have fun with it rather than messing about doing stuff like this, wasting the time you could be using having fun with it.

put me down as not giving a damn, can we start a poll of who else doesn't?

Why do you care how other people choose to play their game?

I dupe expensive cars so that I don't have to grind for credits. Grinding for credits is not my idea of fun.

I own over 100 cars and only 8 of them are duped. If that makes me a cheater in your eyes... So be it.

I don't give a damn, frankly Charlot.
And it is more akin to stealing than cheating as cheating involves winning and loosing and there is no loss to you or anyone else for that matter. So you can call me a Duper or a thiefer but don't you dare call me a cheater.

We take it too serious because we dont wanna race for hours to save up for one car? Ok,lol. Havefun rackin up 20 hours of play time to buy one of the more ecpensive cars in the game, while you do that, ill buy it in 5 minutes then go continue to live my life lol.

Not even close. With the X1, Indy times 3 is 8 minutes. I could have a fully tuned car and five tuning parts in that same time span from duping.

He is having fun, he's duping so he has more time to drive more things. If his goal is to have fun, why would he go about earning credits?
 
I assumed part duping was common knowledge. Anything that can be sent can and will be duped.
By the way why do so many threads spiral in to the dupe vs anti-dupe debate? Seems as pointless as arguing about religion.
