I bought my G27 for $400 a while back, and built an adjustable stand to suit near any seat... tho mostly i'm on the couch.

Dont think i've dragged this thing out in near 6 months tho... another great investment :whistling:

Interesting. Gives me something to think about, would just be a question of whether or not my couch puts me at the right height for the wheel

You could quite easily just cut the legs to modify the height. Or even add height pretty easily.

If you built "feet" for it due to needing height, it would also provide support/stability.

Been reading over this thread and a few more reviews.

Looks like I'll be needing a decent wheel stand. Cbf making one and the ionrax looks good. Can fold away too; which is good coz I've got minimal space where the ps3 is set up.

And the deal is still on as of this moment.

I currently have a G27 for sale. $400, Comes with a F-1 converter to make it work on xbox. Used once, felt it wasn't for me. Will ship if necessary. PM if keen. Its brand new.. Open to offers guys, need some cash.

If it's the one that just came up on JB's website for $369, I would not waste $370 on that thing....Spend a $100 extra and you can get a full cockpit setup with a seat

Can't wait for the wheel to arrive now.

It is the one on the JB website, but they sell for $270 delivered on eBay; from hong kong and half of that price is the actual delivery…

No room for a cockpit so may have to bite the bullet and fork out the odd $300 for one of these or similar.

^^^ nice setup. The ol' coffee table; those were unbreakable and fairly sturdy.

I don't have one, or any room for a cockpit so ended up having to buy one of these from pagnian,

G27 Stand

Not much about them on the net but the little info I can find is all positive. It costs a little bit more than the ionrax, so took a punt. I also needed something that would fold away easy. This thing seems to do it fine. The position of the gear control is also optimal.

Will post up whether it's a win or a total waste of money. Stay tuned…

yeah all very make shift the folks though i was mad an old man (me) with 10 yr old daughter and turning their living room into my sim center ;)

on the upside mum was using my good pc for her shitty pop cap games while i was using their media center as a sim racer but i told the old man the pc needed a 4850 1gb in it ;) it also has a Q6600 running it hahahah

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
