I also use a force feed back seat (yep, I'm a nerd) with 2 aura interactor drivers mounted. One behind the small of the backk and one under the seat. Really enhances the experience. I also intend to get the TrackIR to allow mw to use my head to pan the view.

That sounds like a sweet setup indeed. Man that TrackIR would be handy for this game so you could look out each window to see where cars are when you a passing them. Nerds have the coolest toys :)

Archie you can set the resolution quite well so it should be fine.

Logitech MOMO racing is my choice though. 270 wheel much like an actual race car. PC only as there are no console stuff in my house.

I'm not sure about the 900deg support but what I do know is I rarely use any more than about 20deg in either direction, maybe 45deg max on hairpin turns. Too much lock in this game = you facing the other direction or understeering straight off the track.

This game also comes with Motec Interpreter software and its the real deal from Motec.(however Motec say they don't support GTR but it works really well) If you have experience with this software, then you will love it for GTR and the amount of data it logs in aiding you to set your car up. About the only thing you can't look at is the ECU mixture map LOL because this is not changeable in the game.

haha yeah he goes on to say "...great if you're a gaming revhead, but the sheer pace - and subsequent difficulty tto drive - can put off non-racing enthusiasts. Worth a try, but go easy on the accelerator". heh this last comment is something I learnt the hard way :P

Out of interest, have any of you lot played Grand Prix Legends? (older game 60s F1 cars). If so, which is the harder of the two? I found GPL to be a little too much of a challenge considering I dont have any real racing background, they did say GPL would be the hardest game ever made because they didnt have a good FF system in those days. But I found Sports Car GT a tad easy at times.

Comments would be appreciated, as NFS is losing its appeal. Porshce and hot pursuit 2 that is, neither of the ricey ones.

Dave I was a big GPLer and played online heaps. I even used the FF mod and all the updated graphics. It was, and still is one of the best.

With the FF it is no longer as hard, but still the toughest.

Porsche was interesting but they are just too contrived compared to GPL and GTR.

      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.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
