Ok this is for all the simulation and car game enthusiasts out there. I've started up a BulkBuy thread for the new Logitech G-25 steering wheel. It's the first of its kind in having a true Clutch and 6 speed gated shifter, in addition to paddle shift and the usual force feedback etc.

The more interest we get, the more likely a bulkbuy can occur, and the cheaper the wheel will become...and current retail is as high as $500 so this quality wheel aint cheap.

You can't always drive your skyline 24 hours a day so this is one of the most realistic alternatives available.

Tell all your friends and family! You can voice your interest in this thread:

which games actually support a game with a clutch, and how realistic is the clutch in gameplay? as in, is it an i/o clutch or is it analogue? this would be an awesome wheel even if only a few games support it. i drive an auto stagea, so this would be fantastic.

Yep any of those simulation games generally have true clutch support ie. Live For Speed, GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, rFactor etc. You always have the option of semi-auto or paddle shift for the usual games like Need For Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted, Test Drive Unlimited etc etc.

Show your interest on the BulkBuy thread guys!

Try rFactor with the V8Factor mod. I use paddle shift for gear changes (auto clutch) however the clutch works well to get out of sand bunkers. The auto clutch boggs down and you rev stall a lot to get out.

Both can be set up at once.

Have you tried using it on the xbox?

I'm pretty sure that it's not compatible, but hey please prove me wrong.

Would be more of an incentive to buy one.

I think most of them in aus are sold out anyway.

How is the bulk buy coming along??

so how is the feel compared to the GT pro? is the clutch any good? does it have an e-brake? im wrapped with my gt pro though its a real pain when you need to pop the clutch and use e-brake when your in the middle of cornering cause the buttons are on the wheel itself.

It doesnt have a E-brake, tryed it on the Ps2 with GT4 it works fine but has to be in Sequenal mode real shame, yet to try it on the xbox its lying around somewhere havnt used it in a while, i go looking for that box it might be under the bed or in the shed get it out give it ago.

The pedals are firm not soft and springy too.

Now where's that xbox

I just picked up the G25 and have been using with GTR2 and all i can say is it is far better than any other wheel i have ever used. The cluth and brake both feel quite good and the clucth works well in GTR2. Shops are competing for sales now and i got mine for $375. I saw them for $500 6 weeks ago.

Owww noes... the pedals look like a left hand drive setup. gas / brake / / clutch

Is there an Aust. Right hand drive clutch / / brake / gas set up? Need to heal & toe right!

are you on crack?

Doesn't matter if the car is a lhd or rhd the pedals are the same...

Logitech_G25_RacingWheel_5.jpg

See.... the gas & brake pedals are the same, then you have a little extra space between the brake & clutch pedal. & this img above is in lhd.

If you heal & toe you'd know that here in Aust. we control both gas & brake pedal with our right foot, & then have a little extra space between the brake & clutch.

So with the lhd img above I'd have to twist my right foot much more than a typical comfortable level to heal & toe. Doop :happy:

See how the pedal on the right is thinner and longer? now go to your car and check how your pedal looks like and come here and post :) Thats the accelerator :)

so it is Clutch |||| Brake |||| Accelerator

The positioning may be weird but the pedals are in the right order lol

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
