It seems that the GT6 updating errors are being caused by players not updating for longer periods of time. Those who keep up with updates seem to have less problems. The following instructions are being recommended to deal with updating errors.

PDI is looking to see if these instructions can be further simplified.

Update note:
Apparently, in PDI's experience, there are hardware differences that can affect this updating problem.

Old fatty and new slide-tops were not affected.
Older "slim" models were.

It seems the root cause of this was that players would let significant time lapse between updating GT6. When finally updating, the patches will download/install properly, however there is a file extraction that occurs while on the main menu warning screen. If this file extraction gets too big, the install will fail (after waiting for a very long time).

Steps to address the “Installation Failed” issue:
1.Backup any save data file to PS Plus or on a USB drive and delete existing save data file from the PS3 prior to update process (If you don't have any progress, then you can skip this step.)
2.Within the Games tab of the XMB select Game Data Utility
3.Highlight GT6 Game Data and press the “Triangle" button and select DELETE (if there is no data, then go to the next step)
4.While connected to PSN, highlight the GT6 game disc/game file from the XMB
5.Press the “Triangle” button and select “Check for Updates”
6.Accept the update prompts and begin patch process via the XMB
7.Allow the first 6 patches to download and install.
8.Once the 6th patch has finished installing, press the “Circle” button to cancel the download process
9.Scroll left while on the XMB, and highlight the Settings Tab
10.Scroll down to the Network Settings tab>Internet Connection and select DISABLE (this step will prevent the title from trying to complete the remaining TPPS patch process)
11.Boot GT6 and follow the in-game prompts until the main menu appears. (this step will create new save data which will later be deleted)
12.Once the initial in-game installation process is complete, press the “PS” button and Quit the game to return to the XMB
13.Return to the Settings>Network Settings>Internet Connection screen and select ENABLE
14.Highlight the GT6 game disc/game file and press the “Triangle” button and “Check for Updates”
15.Once the first patch has completed it’s download/install process press the “Circle” button to Cancel
16.Repeat steps 10-15 until all TPPS patches have been installed.
17.Copy save data from step 1 back to the PS3 system (overwriting any existing save data that may have been created during the update process)
Although fairly complex, this worked every time.

READ : If you have had trouble deleting GT6 completely or if you think you have a corrupted file on your hard drive that is interfering with re-installing GT6, then follow these instructions to clear the drive of troubles first.
