More than likely, if your disks look as if there nothing wrong with them and you’re getting those nasty “Disk-Read-Errors” on more than one disk then it is probably one or two laser problems that is the culprit. Either your laser voltage needs to be adjusted or dust and dirt are obstructing your laser, or both. The way I see it, you have two options if you want to repair your PS2.

Hybrid in Gran Turismo 4 is something that always dreamed by many of it’s fans. Hybrid is a term usually used by Gran Turismo’s fans about modification to a car outside of what the original allowed to do.
