This might sound a but basic, but I'm a level 23 a-spec and never played online before. Having trawled this forum now a lot I've learned a huge amount but I'm still lacking basic knowledge of certain features...like how all the swap shop online works or online dealerships. Where do I get basic info on that?

Is your PS3 connected to the internet?

Have you registered with Playstation Network?
 
I am on ps3 network but not for this game as I heard wi-fi connection is no good and I can't hardwire it up.

There's an in-game manual in GT5 that describes the game's features, I think.

You can send a car to anyone on your friend list as long as the car is worth less than $1mil. ($1mil car cannot be sent, only less.)

If you want to trade then you need to offer/negotiate a deal with someone and hope that they live up to their end of the bargain.

The Online Dealer is only visible when you are logged into PSN.

Wi-Fi no good? Why?

People complain about lag. But not when I'm on. (I have wifi.)
 
So it's a warning to the weak connections. Thanks for the heads up. I'd no idea.
 
The phats were terrible over wifi with anything less that a solid 100% connection strength and they need to be quite close to get that 100%, but when I changed to a slim the wifi range was much better and it's a lot easier to get a solid 100% connection. I play everything online over wifi and have no issues.
 
If I'm hosting for a few hours, I plug a 20m lead I made up into my router. But if I'm on for 2 hours then I don't have an issue using wifi.

Try to go into rooms with a good signal strength. It's the 5 bar volume meter to the right of the room's banner.

Today I hosted my brother for 2 hours on wifi. He lives 800km's away and uses a USB stick/mobile Internet for his.

The lead is just a precaution. I never like 'I told you so'. But try it and see how you go. You can always send a FR to me and I'll help run through/test your connection out. You might find that people in your part of the world give a better connection.
