yeah i'd prob sell for about 200, duno was keen on just keeping it and one day make a propper simulator thingy (aka when i move out)

Yeah if I get one it'll be for a proper cockpit setup, I'll probably just pay for a decent ready made one though

yeah like its alright on the desk where i can play - but thing is the brake actually has some force behind it like a brake pedal should and pushes away on carpet, plus you cant really change gears hard with the manual mode while its only mounted to a slick desk just slides right off it.

Propper cockpit setup would be WAY better

I made one years ago, has a G25 wheels setup and a glass backed race seat. I loved it for rally games on the PS3, even got some stage records. You are correct, the pedal and wheel force can be higher than what you would expect from a car in similar situations.

Anyone looking for a nice setup on a strong frame with wheels, the G25 and seat, let me know, I want to sell it. No room in the house for it anymore. :/

So what are your plans for the rebuild leroy?

replace everything thats broken :P

the only significant changes are increased compression from new pistons, forged H rods, adjustable cam gears (2) so that it can be adjusted lol, and hopefully a little bit of porting and other little tasks (bigger openings on oil squirters, stronger springs, balanced engine) add up to a better engine. Im doing a bit of research now in lightened pulleys but over driving is an issue and theres too many version of the FWD SR20s to get confused.

ie. VE oil pump is apparently bigger and better than DE, but while bigger than GTiR it flows less. some VE lightened pulleys require small grinding to fit on DE, but require spacer on GTir and DE (or something, im getting confused with it all). Wish I had all the parts and just see what fits, whats lightest and whats strongest.

hooray for engine rebuild and mi-goreng diet time!

ah if you didn't know though, win sam @ glen waverley has the cheapest instanoodles i've found. its just next to rock kung if you're wondering

but mi goreng is disgusting. but at $10/box, really cant beat that for cost cutting.

dat Daytona feeling.

Mt Waverly instanoodles, eh? I thought living in Balaclava was bad, new restaurants all the time, wanting to try most places. Clayton and surrounding suburbs got so many places its hard to even try a small % of them.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
