Have been doing a bit lately.

Mainly Project CARS as the AI is very ordinary and drives too dirty to have a clean challenging race.

Would like to get into RaceRoom Race Experience but haven't bought any content for it yet, AI seems good enough for a challenge as well.

Reminds me a lot of GTR and GTR2, I guess that's to be expected seeing as Simbin have had a hand in it's development.

Have rFactor 2, not finding it as exciting to get into as the original was though so haven't really been able to get into it. Maybe I just need to find some good cars to run in game

Waiting for Assetto Corsa to come on sale on steam and I'll grab it as well.

Keen to get back into iRacing again as they have recently updated tyre models so apparently it's a little easier to recover from moments. I'm yet to get as much feedback from the track through the wheel from another game yet.

Safety rating system went a fair way to stopping people from acting out when they have a spin or from driving Gran Turismo style, although private servers do that as well I guess once you find a good bunch to race with.

use iRacing with SAU and thats about it.

Project Cars would be good to into online, but im having fun with the career (even if the AI is disruptful. you just have to get in front of them!)

Assetto Corsa is on-sale now, but i wont be jumping on it. car list is pretty average, though UI and track/car quality is good.

Wreckfest is Destruction Derby reborn. havent had a server with decent ping yet, but its awesome fun. and has single player.

Just bought Assetto and the DLC pack for under $50AUD on the steam sale.

Had played it before in the release state (prior to the big patches) and wasn't overly impressed but I turned a few laps at Mugello today in some GT cars and wow!

I like the feeling you get through the wheel a lot more than Project Cars! It's obviously not as pretty in some regards as pCARS. I think both have their strengths and weaknesses.

iRacing IMHO is one of the most over-rated simulations

Yeah we know, you keep telling everyone.

There's an SAU iRacing championship. You can always get a short-term trial and jump in. If you don't like it, try something else.

Assetto Corsa has mods you can add to the game for extra tracks and vehicles.

The community has made some import cars such as s13 silvia, 180sx type x, r32 skyline, honda nsx, nissan s15, mazda fc3s rx7, and a nissan 240sx.

There is also a few australian tracks now such as eastern creek, surfers paradise street circuit, adelaide street circuit & barbagallo raceway.

In answer to your question Anon AC, rF1, GSC, all with many Aussie and NZ tracks and Aussie V8's too. PC once I get some glitches out of my custom pedals, Previously have owned and played (still Do some of them) Pole Position, F1 '98, GTR2, GTR Evo, DiRT 1,2,3. Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2 and many other offerings from GT & Endurance cars, to Rally and Hill Climbs, some good, some bad and some that should never have been sold as a "Simulation" .

I don't see GPL in that lot, Mozz.

Say it ain't so...

RFactor (the original one) has an R34 GTR patch.

Also lots of Aussie tracks including Lakeside, Amaroo, Bathurst (the 3 I've driven IRL) plus Eastern Ck, Surfers (old one and the street track), morgan pk, warwick farm, wakefield, Symmons plains, Darwin, Camberra, Melb GP, Townsville, Winton, Longford, Calder, Oran Pk, Phillip Island, Sandown, QR as well as a host of NZ tracks. Best thing is they're all free - no stupid monthly fees just to keep playing.

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
