The HistorX mod on Rfactor is pretty good. The 60's and 70's v8's are a handful around bathurst.  You have to be careful with the throttle - even to the point of having to lift on crests to avoid ridiculous wheelspin spitting you off the track with the more powerful ones  (eg 73 corvette). Nothing at all like the poor gt6 effort at realism. 

You can also download the 1972 car set (gtho, e49 and xu1) or touring cars of the 80's and 90's. Nothing's as good as the real thing but these are pretty good.

I play with a g29 which is a huge step up from the g25.

OH i'd also just double check project cars cars list if that makes sense... It has a "limited" selection of cars compared to the others. But in terms of a sim its fantastic.

Great info Anfanee, thanks. Makes it a tough choice between Cars and Forza for my purposes.

I just downloaded assetto corsa, and the bathurst track..   Don't do it. I'm getting a refund.

Sounds good warps but the idea is to set up the system in the spare room complete with seat etc so I can jump on it any time without involving the home office PC. So a console makes sense, another PC would cost quite a bit more.

I don't think you've played gt6 enough warps. It will do the same thing with all aids turned off... for You will also have less steering effect when going down an inclined corner , and it will dig in going up...

I turned my storage room into one very cheaply. 

Use a saw horse as your steering wheel platform.

Set the seat and pedals into a position that matches your car by packing the chair up with wood.

Cut the saw horse legs down to match your cars steering wheel position.

I use a projector behind my head, which projects onto the whole wall.

 

I rarely play games anymore, but when i want to, everything is perfect and setup ready to go.

I have played it plenty. Never felt the immersion that proper games bring. I always drive with all aids off  - it still feels artificial. Now I have my gaming PC (4 yr old laptop) working again  I haven't bothered with gt6 for many months.

No Project Cars players? Unless something changes this is what I'll be getting, with a PS4 Pro and a two pedal driving setup. My track car is a manually shifted auto.

I play project cars. I just don't know how "realistic" it is. Its feels quite different to forza 6. Just to let you know project cars 2 will probably be released this year. So depending on when you need or get it gt sport and pc2 might be he way to go

Project Cars 2 is said to be released "Septemberish" this year which probably means near the year's end. Just looking at Cars videos gives the impression that their dynamics are better than the other two, no unrealistic wobbling around although the graphics are not as good which is something that apparently will be much improved in Cars 2.

Projects cars is heaps more realistic than GT or Forza. For console sims, Project Cars is the way to go.

I've only played it on PC, but I don't there is much difference other than some graphical tweaks. I'd say theres no point waiting for the sequel if you can get the original fairly cheap.

look just go all out, PC, Fanatec wheel, PC2 and a Vive... done... oh and make a seat setup :D

but seriously, i guess a budget setup would either be ps4, xbo and PCars then the logi... but if you need realism, then by the sounds of it a higher end wheel will be important... then if you were doing that id just build a pc

Project Cars, PS4 Pro, Logitech G29, a projector and my home made driving setup with a proper race seat should do the trick. Read the other day that the G29 has specific Cars software so that decides that. Thanks chaps.

Is the Thrustmaster T300RS significantly more realistic than the G29? Don't mind spending a bit more if the value and performance is there.

I've found Project cars to be one of the better, if not the best thus far. I have driven a v8 around bathurst for COUNTLESS laps on project cars. 
Forza has been up there for a while, not sure if the new one has bathurst? as the old ones didn't.

^^ Like i said, the only thing against project cars is it has a relatively small car list that you can drive. They don't have a GTR for example. HOWEVER

Forza 6 will have more options...

Looking at Forza 6....

you can get: 

  • 1969 Nissan Fairlady Z 432

And i can confirm you can put this v8 in it:

  • 325 hp / 350 torque 5.7L V8 (Chevy Camaro '02)

From there you can mod it further. That might be as close to your car as you will get.

I bought asseto corsa for my PS4 a couple months ago as I wanted to use my g29 on something before gt sport eventually comes out.
I think I played it for 10 minutes max n was bored with it and havnt touched it since.

      Does anyone know whats happening with harness on drivers door?

      The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.

      Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!

      So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
