DFGT Mods

[Slash]

I'm looking into a few simple mods that I would like to do to my DFGT. I plan on doing the pedal one with some bungee cords, unless I can take it apart and tighten the springs. A few others is painting the faceplate and changing the color of the GT logo's LED light inside the horn. If anyone has any guides on how to do these it would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Taking the pedals apart is quite easy, even I was able to do it.

Gotta get some pliers out for that later. Seems easy enough. What about painting the plastic and changing the bulb's color? For the buld I might be able to get away with just putting colored see through tape on the back of the button.

Changed the color to a red on the light. Can easily be done by prying off the horn cover, but watch the little springs don't fall inside. You can either:

1. Color the back with a sharpie of your choice
2. Stick a few peices of clear tape and color that with a marker of your choice.
3. Cut a piece of cellophane and tape it on.

Do note that the color is going to be significantly dim because the LED's inside are very weak.

http://granturgismo.com/ has some decent mods for the DFGT, from carbon fiber trim, to add-on paddle shifters.

Already been there. I might get the paddle shifters. Not sure though.

get the paddle shifters.
they are an excellent upgrade

I think derek spears makes a wheel adapter for it, but you lose all the buttons on the wheel.

But with a little bit of wiring and electronics know how you can simply relocate those bottons.

Seconded. The paddle shifters are well worth the money. And spend the extra $2 for the adjustable ones.

Now that I've colored the DFGT's GT logo, anyone know how to change the emblem alltogether? I kind of want a Ford one.

I posted a thread about mods for the shift lever, got no response. If anyone knows of one...

I simply painted the GT-logo with a red and blue marker... A job of less than 10 minutes to do:

That's actually pretty cool. 👍

Did you take the white plastic off to get to the logo?

 

[YukinoSuzuka]

No, I didn't, but it's possible ! I think the result would be the same...

When I remove the horncap, this is what it look likes:

I tryed searching for this and found nothing.

I was wondering if anybody has mounted a DFGT by drilling holes through a table and using bolts like the G27.

You shouldn't need to. It has great mounts of it's own.



What kind of markers did you use? I'm assuming sharpie?

 

[harvysmoon]

I was inspired by the Schulze Nissan GTR and purchased an OMP horn badge also self adhesive tape for the wheel centre stripe.👍

 

[Coxis]

I've always wanted to know what kind of tape is used for center stripes.

Any chance any of you could link me to an online retailer website for the article?

 

[harvysmoon]

Regarding wheel centre stripes, I find your best bet is to use a car pin stripe detailing tape which can be purchased from car auto styling sites or you could try ebay go for a wide tape. Hope this helps 👍

Yes, me Its easy. Take of the holding clamps and use bolts through the holes, to mount your DFGT to a table. I drilled in addition one more hole in the front side of the wheel for more stability.
Unfortunately I don't own the wheel any more so I could do for you some pictures. Look here at the last photo in the post, maybe it will help you understand how to do it.

this guys got some great mods done to his wheel but i was wondering if any one knows how he got his so fast and smooth

some one in the comments said grease but i think that would only make it less loud

Suzuki, your links don't work. I've so far seen two of your links messed up.

Anyways, here's the video you were trying to post.



This looks amazing but it definitely is a very complex mod. He plugs in an USB cable in the back of the DFGT case. He wrapped the wheel in leather and most probably changed the wheel motor, probably switched it with one from a G25/27.

You've got too many "http://" in there.

Edit: Coxis, I just used white electrical tape for the center stripe.

Inicialmente meus planos eram apenas de personalizar o GT central nas cores azul e vermelho, e no fim pensei :
- Porque não ?
Então comprei spray cromado e pintei centro do volante e esse foi o meu resultado !
