Proud Owner
Take and share a photo
Photograph anything anywhere in Photomode/Photo Travel. Save the photo and exit to GT Life. Go to your album, find any saved photo, press Triangle to bring up the menu, press X on "Share with friends" and press X on "On" to share the photo. The trophy will spring when the upload completes.

Create any track in Course Maker. Save the track and exit to GT Life. Go to your tracks, find any saved track, press Triangle to bring up the menu, press X on "Share with friends" and press X on "On" to share the track. The trophy will spring when the upload completes.
Loony Tune
Spend an insane amount of money on tuning a car
Spend 500,000cr in total tuning your cars.
Race Ready
Perform Racing Modifications on one of your cars
Go to GT Auto with any non-race car eligible for a race modification, select race modification and apply it.
Dream Drifter
Get 10,000 points or more in a Sector Mode Drift Trial
In Arcade Mode, select Drift Trial and sector mode. Simply slide your way to 10,000 points. Remember that the longer the track, the more sectors there are - and drifts are awarded more highly for a high angle (90 degrees - nose-in - to the corner will get highest points) and duration (the longer you can keep it there, the better).
Data Analyst
Analyze your performance using the Data Logger
Simply view any replay of a completed lap and use the Data Logger functions.
Driving Music
Use the Personal BGM function, and go for a drive while listening to your favorite songs
Outside the game, place any audio file (mp3 works best) onto your PS3 and add it to a playlist. Then, in the game, go to options, Audio Options, Select User BGM (you'll be asked to pick a playlist at this point) then Enable User BGM. The trophy will spring here - you don't need to "go for a drive".
Beyond the Autobahn
Drive 12,718km total - the length of all Germany's Autobahns combined
Just drive. A lot. This should pop up in the course of your game progress naturally.
Car Collector
Fill your Garage with 1,000 cars
Just buy cars. A lot. This probably won't pop up in the course of your game progress - you'll need a lot of money and a lot of cars. I'd recommend saving up for the below trophy instead of buying cars when you can.
Multi-Millionaire
Possess an insane amount of money
Insane means 10,000,000cr.
Old-Timer
Acquire a car manufactured in 1959 or earlier
There's only seven of these in the game. The most accessible are the 2CV (used cars) and the Subaru 360 (prize from World Classic Cars)
Half a Century of Cars
Own at least one car from the '60s, '70s, 80's, '90s, and '00s.
This will come through gameplay - you'll be awarded cars from all over the century, so don't worry about it. If you're desperate, keep an eye on the used cars.
Maximum Mileage
Buy a used car with 300,000km or more travel distance.
These pop up in used cars very rarely, so keep a close eye. Remember, every time you see the loading bar on the screen (except Photo Travel) a game day goes by and 6 cars are added to the used car list.
High Roller
Bought a seriously expensive car
Simply buy a car for more than 100,000cr. Best done after multi-millionaire.
Sky-High Roller
Buy an insanely expensive car
Simply buy a car for more than 1,000,000cr. Best done after multi-millionaire.
Speed Demon
Achieve a speed of 300km/h
This will come in the NASCAR School Special Event, very early on.
111 Meters a Second
Achieve a speed of 400 km/h
Much harder, but possible with the Veyron (won from Professional/Gran Turismo World Championship) - or a lunatic LMP1 car - on a run down the 2009 Sarthe (no chicane) straight or on SSR7.
Within One Hundredth
Win a race by a margin of 0.01 seconds or less
Difficult to do on purpose, but it should crop up during gameplay accidentally. If you want to engineer it, anything with closely-matched, fast cars on simple tracks - the first NASCAR special event, notably - will do it.
Arch Rivals
Achieve a one-two finish in a Mistubishi Lancer Evolution X and a Subaru IMPREZA WRX STi
Simply start a two-player split screen race with these cars selected - any track. Once the race finishes, the trophy will spring up.
Dream Race
Win the ultimate three-way showdown between a Ford Mark IV Race Car, a Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car and a Jaguar XJ13 Race Car
Win a race at the Historic Racing Car Cup in Expert Series while driving one of these three cars - the others will probably be present.
GT-R Official Record
Achieve a time of 7'29.03 on the Nurburgring Nordschleife in a Nissan GT-R '07. The record must be achieved in a Time Trial in the Arcade mode version of the car with tires of Sports Hard grade or lower equipped
That. Note that you need to unlock the Nordschleife in Arcade mode first, which means passing the Intermediate events of the AMG Driving Challenge - which requires level 12. Just beat the record using Sport Hard tyres or worse.
Human Stopwatch
Complete three consecutive laps with time within 0.2 seconds of the Best Lap Time
Sounds relatively simple and will probably pop up for consistent players at some point. If you want to engineer it, the best way is to get a simple track with few corners (Daytona, Indy or Motegi Super Speedways) and a slow car - people recommend using the PDI Racing Kart 100, since it's given free at Level 1 - and just run it in Arcade time trial.
A Star is Born
Train a B-Spec driver up to Class 30 or above
Just keep training a single B-Spec driver. He'll hit level 30 through natural progression.
The Air of Experience
Raise a B-Spec driver to the peak of his career
Train a single B-Spec driver until his "career" bar is filled - this takes 500 races, give or take.
Colorful
Collect 256 paint colors
Simply collect 256 different paint colours. You get a paint colour every time you get a car and they can be gifted too. The key is that you need 256 different ones.
Penniless
Spend every last Credit you have
Extremely easy if done at the start. Various methods exist - I bought a Premium Eunos Roadster (19,000) and bought an ECU upgrade for it (1,000), but there are more circuitous ways of doing it.
Hidden Trophy
Watch Out for Falling Objects
Make a part of your car fall off while driving
You'll probably accidentally manage this in the game, but to force it, go to Arcade Mode, Single Race, pick a Premium car and just smash it into anything, repeatedly. Doors are good to try, because they flap about before they start to detach.
Hidden Trophy
Rollover
Total a car by flipping it over
Another one you'll accidentally do during the game, but can be forced by being reckless. The inside of the final chicane at Trial Mountain is a good spot because of the awesome bump there. The car will need to be upside-down/on its side and at rest to force the game to reset the car and this will get your trophy.
Hidden Trophy
Take Your Honda Home
Take a photo of a Honda passing in front of the Honda head office on the Tokyo R246 track
Simple in description - drive a Honda down the Tokyo R246 straight, save the replay, go to Photomode and photograph it in that location. The location is on the left side of the straight and is a tall, white building with a rounded glass corner. Large Castrol signs are just trackside of it.
Hidden Trophy
Picture Exclusive
Take a picture of a special someone as he stands in Kyoto's Gion district
Go to Photo Travel and pick Kyoto Gion as the location. Pick location #1 for the camera and location C for the car. As you switch to free roam, you'll see a guy leaning on the bridge to the left. Move the camera to a position where you can see his face (he'll look left and right), zoom in, autofocus and snap him. If done right the trophy will spring within a couple of seconds - saving the photo is not necessary.
Hidden Trophy
Portraitist
Take a portrait of a solitary lady who appears on the Marktgasse in Bern
Go to Photo Travel and pick Bern Marketgasse as the location. Pick location #1 for the camera and location A for the car. As you switch to free roam, you'll see a woman sitting at the base of the statue ahead, busy with a mobile phone (cellphone). Move the camera to a position where you can see her face, zoom in, autofocus and snap her. If done right the trophy will spring within a couple of seconds - saving the photo is not necessary.
