Sega Rally 3 rebuild and conversion

[Bods]

You can set TP for both joined and separate pedals

I tried with full axis on both unchecked and it wouldn't work. had to pump the gas pedal for it to do anything which wasn't ideal lol
now it's perfect with 3 separate axis

Does the SR3 steering mech have a centering mechanism? Or is that done through the FFB rather than using something like springs?

Just happs wheel setup with belt to motor so no springs, it seems to center itself with the FFB, need to get than connected up after the buttons done but its been tested and working

Great progress !
heart in mouth I dared to rate the thread it seems like anything can happen when you go near those buttons !! t but luckily outcome I wanted .

been able to desolder the connector on the switch panel and reverse it, luckily i can solder back this way, then reverse wires in connector so now it fits in the cab



You can see from them back to back how bent the pcb on original is because it doesn't fit in with connector in place but that can't happen when you have 5 switches so it wont fit



Does now though



Next I need to add 4 more wires to the connector and wire the grounds separate for this switch matrix setup

Was trying to find a 2 pin socket to go on the rear fan but hadn't got this type, got 3 pin and bigger



Then I had a thought when I saw this connection further down, chop that one out and join it up and use socket for fan, bit of time but saves money




Job Done

I can see why others have used an Ipac for the buttons as it is a bit of a pain having to add all the extra earth wires, some have separate ones like handbrake but many are common ground like the shifter which has a 4 pin socket in connects too but not all the way
So I chopped the linked common



Already have spade connector and wire is just right length to go to 4 pin connector, pin from spare connector soldered on and done




Just a shame it then goes to a 3 pin connector not far after this one, nothing made easy, time to copy the fan resolver and remove it from the equation

 

[Bods]

Connector erased and pin and black wire from another spare connector to get it further down to cab base




Managed to feed the single wire through the cable ties which saves cutting them all and using new ones but then we get to the main connector in the base which has no spare connections, so I used spade connector so this can be unplugged with the main one so shifter wires sorted, handbrake and start button ready to connect to the board

made some brackets for the VTS board to go in spare Coin Tower i have in the way, hmm maybe I should have done them a bit longer but not sure how far coin mech would go back so this will do

I think were okay cheers anyway matey, not much more to do wiring wise, got all the buttons connected apart from Credit. the Shifter and handbrake done so when SR3 running now it's like playing it an original well will be when the FFB is powered up, that's next job and coin tower if I can find some metal to fix it on with

Cool ..
Good progress ..
For coin box
Is it not normally bolted on ?

There a different type tower for these, wider as the cabs are further apart than the older CRT ones, I need a metal plate to bolt on the control panel support and then bolt the tower to that
