Hey guys,

Digging up an old thread here..... but are any of you guys still on iRacing?

last year we did a championship, which was moderately successful. http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452253-2015-sau-vic-iracing-championship/

Tony is busy with other club things, so someone would need to step up to organise.

Personally ive developed a strong dislike for iRacing and how it operates, so I dont plan to renew in a few months. Project Cars is a lot cheaper, enjoyable and huge variety of tracks and cars. While it may not focus on as-hardcore elements as iRacing, i think it makes up for it in hundreds of other ways.

Fair enough.

I've switched over to iRacing because the online element in other games i've played like Forza, Project Cars, F12015 etc

is terrible! becuase the other guys have nothing to lose by taking you out it's a very regular occurence. Yeah you still get

some dicks in iRacing but i have found them to be fewer and far between. Sometimes I go back to the other games and

put the AI on the highest difficulty but it's just not the same. iRacing is quite expensive though.

I have signed up to the SAU league on iRacing. Hopefully it starts up again.

Project cars online is like forza online.... absolute mayhem! lol

I suppose if you set up a group of guys that actually wanna race cleanly but still hard it would be good.

I've seen the V8SCOPS series. looks good. i think i might give it a go next season. The V8 seems

to be pretty hard to drive from i've been told.

I'm currently running in a GT3 series and running a few other of the "official" races just to get some more practice.

Yeah I stopped my iracing subscription, dont feel like paying over and over for things.. then you just get rammed or taken out online anyway causing license to go down.. the v8's seem like they're on ice.. been playing other games that seem more 'fun' hell even forza drift mode is awesome fun, f1 2015 career etc

I’ve been thinkin bout gettin iracing now that I have a computer to run it on. Let’s revive this thread and I’ll b more motivated. If ur thinkin rn bout project cars rn then let me ask u this. Did u know project cars 3 is out? If no it’s cause it’s complete trash but if yes I have another. Does anyone else in the world really know it’s out? The answer is no. Everyone that knows bout it is hiding this arcade game from everyone else cause they went so backwards in development. Ig u have to go back to iracing. Unless u guys know of something else that’s better? Might also get forza. Also I need wheel suggestions and I don’t want to spend to much on it but I don’t want to go to cheap on it at all.

Assetto corsa is good as can mod it, jump on Racedepartment and have a look there. Depends if you want to get serious or just a bit of fun. Wheel depends on budget really. I've had g25/27 then went to a fanatec porsche gt2 wheel and basic pedals to now Fanatec v2.5 base, mclaren wheel, v3 pedals & shifter. I found the porsche wheel good bang for buck but upgraded a few years ago when it was on sale.

I had a lot of issues with my Logitech G27 with Assetto Corsa, but I friend got me onto LUTGenerator to fix the issues. Haven't tried it yet.
Its hard to find a decent racer (with decent UI) that supports VR. Project Cars2 runs like absolute garbage in VR.

I had assetto corsa on PlayStation and that game was so garbage. I hate it so much. I felt like I had no control of the car. 
@robbo_rb180 do u think I should go with the mclaren wheel then? Is there a newer better one? How do I even use the wheel like do I have to get the whole setup with the chassis and the seat and the shifter and pay how much for it? Is $1000 a good budget?

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
