There are new ones on ebay for under $200 shipped just in case anyone is interested

link, found a few with many bids still rolling, and cheapest i found shipped was 245.

i would assume a new one would be a while off yet, they tend to make them last for a while.

Both the flatmate & I purchased one each for $195.

The main reason we bought them is due to our addiction to online drifting with GT5, however, we''ve found the G27 isn't very user friendly when it comes to the drifting aspect of the game but instead more towards the racing aspect. It may be due to the configuration/setup we're using but so far I'm regreting I ever made the purchase as I'm not a huge ps3 gamer & probably won't use the G27 once my GT5 phase wears out.

so if anyone knows a good drifting config/setup for GT5 with the G27... please post it!!!

Yeah I thought it sucked at first when drifting but you do get the hang of it, although the drift mode makes it too easy to slide, drifting in race mode is more fun :D

I paid $400+ for mine ages ago, these are crazy cheap!! The force feedback etc makes them great for gaming....

it just takes practice to drift with the G25/27 on GT5. and alot of throttle control.

the easiest way to learn how to drift in the game using the wheel is just running a normal race with whatever car you want to drift. or run practice mode if you dont want other cars around.

run the car you want to run, no traction control, ABS is up to you. and start to use a bit more power on the exit of the turns, i'm not talking about stabbing it to 100% throttle straight away. but a bit more than what you usually would. then once your comfortable with it, start putting more power on at half way through the turn, then at the start and finally before the turn even starts.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
