I use the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel. I was $138 when GT5 came out, I bought it from Dick Smith. I couldn't justify the G27's cost, to my wallet & my wife :laugh:

This ^^

And i love it.

One of my mates bought a g27, its super nice, but the forceGT does what i need :P

Hopefully the new update fixes the random freeze ups I've been having. Keep getting stuck on the grey "GT" loading screen.

How big is the update Tom? The ps3's wireless is so slow. Takes forever to download big updates.

thanks for the car btw, i did that race and got 2,000,000 straight up and went from level 12 a-spec to 18 :D

my biggest mistake was i ignored bspec until i got up to about professional in aspec. i had to go back and buy alot of cars i sold just to compete in those races.

I've made the same mistake... Currently running at level7 in B-spec, and around level 15 in A-spec.

Most of my time playing until this week was with friends over playing Arcade mode in split screen.

I had a massive freeze-up then the PS3 glitched out while I was online with Cam (iamhe) last night. Had to force the PS3 to shut down, then when it rebooted it had to do a restore before it would work again.

Also, the battery in my BT headphones were dead, so now that they're charged I'll have to see if they actually work.

add me if you want psn:nickverms

I dont have any friends :(

sooo...add me

Jeez, how hard is it to charge a battery before you play? :P

Nice to see your GT350 out there though

(btw, I usually do a 10min practice prior to the race so everyone can pick their cars, set 'em up and get familiar with the track - was thinking about setting up a 30 lap race at De Sarthe with varying conditions next time, could make things interesting... Maybe Sunday evening? Oh, and karts in the rain are certainly interesting and frustratingly funny)

Anyone running a wheel? I have been looking at the Logitech G27...

I've got a G25 and it's a nice bit of kit, looking at ways to firm up the H shifter and brake pedal though. There is a REALLY flash brake pedal available for the G25/27 with a hydraulic piston but it's $250 :(

Yeah, definitely need to get about 10 on at the same time.

Competition? I believe you only "won" 2 races last night mate

Hoping that Chris can get his internet connection sorted for the next go-around :)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
