ok, this is what i got in the end..Hyperdrive for 30 bucks on ebay... so i am well under by budget on this one. sort of happy with it for now, just added some homemade padding to the seat and its good to go endurance racing :P , seriously the normal seat is only good for like 10 minutes racing without serious ASS damage.

WOuld love to see pic of your simulator mate, looks like the real deal..

PS - Have to say compared to GT5 (which is great too) GTR2 with Bathurst Mod / MMMV8 Supercar mod is preety good too.... but i find force feedback excellent on the GT5

That looks great about all you need anyway unless your going pro lol.

Is that you in the pic? if so I would get it off the floor more level with the TV some how but that's me.

Good job glade you like it you can work your way up from there if you think you need to.

Hi there, I found this forum via a websearch of racing simulators.

I have attached a photo of my own racing sim frame.One pic before adding the monitor frame, the other complete. It is made from scrap aluminium that I found, but could be built from mild steel box.

On it is a driving force GT wheel. The seat I found on the side of the road.

It has Logitech 5.1 surround speakers with the sub screwed underneath the monitor stand at the front. I calculated that steel cost for the frame less the monitor stand would cost about $50 (6m overall length of steel used). The monitor frame uses about another 4 m materials plus MDF sheet.

I will do a sketch of measurements if people would like.

It serves me well for my PC racing games.

Cheers, David.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
