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!!!

just thought id share some pics of my g27 setup, just done it cheap with my brothers old setup from the ps2 and attached a new wheel. works pretty good except my knees sometimes hit the bottom of the wheel clamps. gear box and the front was a little wobbly so ive got it held down with weights now. note room is messy because i cant stop playing games on it long enough to clean up :)

hyperdrive frame $200

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

    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
