Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

Is the G25 no longer made? I picked one of these up for $250 from Hardly Normal 3 years ago. It's connected to my Microsim Race Base (showing my age here).

The shifter quality is still pretty plastic, but better than playing on a keyboard.

G25 isnt sold anymore, the second hand ones ive seen on Ebay have ended up sellin g for the same money as a G27....

380 on ebay seems the cheapest, but also has the biggest postage $80 from what i recall. it seem the cheaper the product. the more the postage is.

i bought my G27 from Umart in brissy. cost me $405. picked it up the next day. no waiting, and no overpriced postage.

some of those driving rigs are pretty nice. but far too expensive for a few bits of thin metal tubing. and a friend has the VR one......very flimsey, not good for 650 bucks. and 2000 forget about it. mine cost me $250 for the bucket seat about 8 yrs ago ;) all the rest was free!! (except the G27 obviously)

there are other driving games other than GT5 you can use your steering wheel with. no need for it to collect dust :D

The Racebase plans and hardware cost me something like$80 back in 2004, and probably $50 worth of MDF.

I see they're back in business, and you can get the plans for $9, and hardware for $50-ish. If you're handy with woodworking, they are pi$$ easy to make.

too much of a pain to get in and out of though. if i was going to do it i''d leave 1 side off so you can slip into it easier, or make it have a scissor door, lol

What? Seriously?

Are you an arthritic 80 year old or something? Have you actually tried these things?

I can think of plenty of reasons one might not want one of these, but ease of access? Come on - surely you can do better.

Besides, the steering wheel tilts up out of the way if you want it to (although I've never had to do that)

Each to their own though.

you are pretty much sitting on the floor. i'd rather have it at seat height. i don't have the money or space for a sim anyway, so i'll just be sticking with the controller. never bothered me in the past. i might get one eventually (when i'm in a house with more space), but that won't be for a while yet.

i'd really like to get a car and mount one in the car so the steering wheel, etc is all in the exact location it would be in real life.

looks good, and cheap, and real easy to make. would save alot of stuffing around with measurements like i did. ill stick with my alloy one tho. Sure its pretty well on the ground, and doesnt look as artsy. but its sturdy enough to use it to drag yourself out if need be. Easier to get out of than a bean bag :dry:

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
