Ok this is for all the simulation and car game enthusiasts out there. I've started up a BulkBuy thread for the new Logitech G-25 steering wheel. It's the first of its kind in having a true Clutch and 6 speed gated shifter, in addition to paddle shift and the usual force feedback etc.

The more interest we get, the more likely a bulkbuy can occur, and the cheaper the wheel will become...and current retail is as high as $500 so this quality wheel aint cheap.

You can't always drive your skyline 24 hours a day so this is one of the most realistic alternatives available.

Tell all your friends and family! You can voice your interest in this thread:

which games actually support a game with a clutch, and how realistic is the clutch in gameplay? as in, is it an i/o clutch or is it analogue? this would be an awesome wheel even if only a few games support it. i drive an auto stagea, so this would be fantastic.

Yep any of those simulation games generally have true clutch support ie. Live For Speed, GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, rFactor etc. You always have the option of semi-auto or paddle shift for the usual games like Need For Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted, Test Drive Unlimited etc etc.

Show your interest on the BulkBuy thread guys!

Try rFactor with the V8Factor mod. I use paddle shift for gear changes (auto clutch) however the clutch works well to get out of sand bunkers. The auto clutch boggs down and you rev stall a lot to get out.

Both can be set up at once.

Have you tried using it on the xbox?

I'm pretty sure that it's not compatible, but hey please prove me wrong.

Would be more of an incentive to buy one.

I think most of them in aus are sold out anyway.

How is the bulk buy coming along??

so how is the feel compared to the GT pro? is the clutch any good? does it have an e-brake? im wrapped with my gt pro though its a real pain when you need to pop the clutch and use e-brake when your in the middle of cornering cause the buttons are on the wheel itself.

It doesnt have a E-brake, tryed it on the Ps2 with GT4 it works fine but has to be in Sequenal mode real shame, yet to try it on the xbox its lying around somewhere havnt used it in a while, i go looking for that box it might be under the bed or in the shed get it out give it ago.

The pedals are firm not soft and springy too.

Now where's that xbox

I just picked up the G25 and have been using with GTR2 and all i can say is it is far better than any other wheel i have ever used. The cluth and brake both feel quite good and the clucth works well in GTR2. Shops are competing for sales now and i got mine for $375. I saw them for $500 6 weeks ago.

Owww noes... the pedals look like a left hand drive setup. gas / brake / / clutch

Is there an Aust. Right hand drive clutch / / brake / gas set up? Need to heal & toe right!

are you on crack?

Doesn't matter if the car is a lhd or rhd the pedals are the same...

maybe you're the one on crack

See.... the gas & brake pedals are the same, then you have a little extra space between the brake & clutch pedal. & this img above is in lhd.

If you heal & toe you'd know that here in Aust. we control both gas & brake pedal with our right foot, & then have a little extra space between the brake & clutch.

So with the lhd img above I'd have to twist my right foot much more than a typical comfortable level to heal & toe. Doop :happy:

See how the pedal on the right is thinner and longer? now go to your car and check how your pedal looks like and come here and post :) Thats the accelerator :)

so it is Clutch |||| Brake |||| Accelerator

The positioning may be weird but the pedals are in the right order lol

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay

      An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).

      Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks

      have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
