There are new ones on ebay for under $200 shipped just in case anyone is interested

link, found a few with many bids still rolling, and cheapest i found shipped was 245.

i would assume a new one would be a while off yet, they tend to make them last for a while.

Both the flatmate & I purchased one each for $195.

The main reason we bought them is due to our addiction to online drifting with GT5, however, we''ve found the G27 isn't very user friendly when it comes to the drifting aspect of the game but instead more towards the racing aspect. It may be due to the configuration/setup we're using but so far I'm regreting I ever made the purchase as I'm not a huge ps3 gamer & probably won't use the G27 once my GT5 phase wears out.

so if anyone knows a good drifting config/setup for GT5 with the G27... please post it!!!

Yeah I thought it sucked at first when drifting but you do get the hang of it, although the drift mode makes it too easy to slide, drifting in race mode is more fun :D

I paid $400+ for mine ages ago, these are crazy cheap!! The force feedback etc makes them great for gaming....

it just takes practice to drift with the G25/27 on GT5. and alot of throttle control.

the easiest way to learn how to drift in the game using the wheel is just running a normal race with whatever car you want to drift. or run practice mode if you dont want other cars around.

run the car you want to run, no traction control, ABS is up to you. and start to use a bit more power on the exit of the turns, i'm not talking about stabbing it to 100% throttle straight away. but a bit more than what you usually would. then once your comfortable with it, start putting more power on at half way through the turn, then at the start and finally before the turn even starts.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
