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.

SO DOIT!!!

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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
