SimJack Pro - unboxing and short review 

For this price it’s very good choice. After installing HE elastomer kit and preload clone spring from the Ultimates they are perfect for me 😉

1. Of course it can be fixed as everything but I don’t think about it too much now. I probably will tweak it in future but it is small thing. 2. Maybe I missed something but this came without software. I used DiView, same which is used with HE pedals and other stuff like this. Do I like it? Yes I think is quite good and easy, but this minus values of LC sometimes gives users a bit of problems. But it is also small thing. SimRacing Corner share cool video how to fix some problems if you have it. 3. I just dont like heel plate, I already removed it but not sure if I will back to it with lower distances. 4. It is not neccessary but I like it very much and with this price I belive its good deal. 5. I mean that I feel pressure rising at The very end. It should start easy (short spring), more pressure (longest elastomer) and fast pressure increase (all elastomers together). 6. Yeah I will share follow up because I have cool results. But not So fast. I need to get HE Ultimate brake spring replica to finish my video. Also I need to tell about few critical points for people who also want to use HE elastomer kit. 7. Too fast to talk about spring quality. Now it looks good but spring from brake is just too long. Anyway buying this pedals is good deal but allways you need to check what you get. I saw that SimRacing Corner get this pedals without one mouting hole in cluth bottom. For sure SJ supply spare parts for free (they have quite nice support). As far I know to build similar setup without friends with cnc machines and „free material”, price with all stuff, shipping costs, electronics etc could be similar to complete SimJack product. I decided to save my DIY time and just make few small tweaks if I notice something that I dont like 🙃

I saw few mods like that but they are quite expensive and not necessary for me. I’m happy how it works now but SimJack Pro + Ultimate + kit is still good deal.

@@MR.EVERLOST they are great. i have them and i just ordered the ultimate plus kit. i did it bc not only do you get the great brake elastomer setup but you get the control box and can now use heusinkveld smartcontrol software which is more stable and better than simjacks.if you buy husk elastomers only you are around 30ish and they dont fit well and then you want a different spring another 10 or so, a rod to make the elastomers fit . after a few mods you are close to the 100ish the ultimate+ kit costs. and you have inferior control box and software. just letting you know you have options to make your pedals basically identical to the 1000 dollar ultimates

Yes this play is on each pedal. You can’t remove it with stock bushings / brass sliders. Tightening screw not help you because play is between bushings and brass sliders. Probably bushings make this play because hole in brass sliders is 10mm and bushing diameter is 9.9mm (I need to measure it again but I remember something like this). In datasheet bushings has 10mm diameter So data is wrong or they have tolerancje (0.1mm) or someone grind them too much to fit into sliders 😀 who knows..

@@MR.EVERLOST thanks for your reply !

45 🙃

I had T3PA electronic before and only know that this is much better. I dont know how many Hz it has but feeling is really good. I belive that some people could have different problems with each part of pedals, even electronic because of low or lack of quality control. Price is so low that I dont belive if someone there use control list and check each small steps of building this pedals before shipping. I bought them because 1) I can fix a lot by myself 2) I have warranty 3) price is low 4) construction of pedals is really good. Pedals like Fanatec, Moza or Thrustmaster is good but they also had different problems in time of usage and you never know if something happen with your hardware. About dampers… I put on brake Heusinkveld elastomers and now it is much better. But I recomend not buying this elastomers yet. It is not plug and play and I want to share what is required if someone wants to use it and how it feels. Need to order last component to finish video 😅 I hope it would be soon.

​@@MR.EVERLOST Thx for the deets! 🙌 I'll probably order these pedals for myself too

Where are you seeing them for $180?

I had the SR-P's with the upgrade kit. I swapped to the Sim Jack Pro's. In regards to the throttle and clutch, I feel the SJP's dominate. In fairness, I was very happy with the SR-P brake. But I still prefer my SJP's over the upgraded SR-P brake.

@@adamsteff7856 I already installed here HE elastomers and SJ P works amazing now. Soon I will share follow up of this video. I dont know how they made this elastomers but they are mindblowing. Totally different than all elastomers I knew… But it was super difficult to fit them to SJ P. More about in The video 😀 Im actually working on it 🤫

Yeah I am happy with this product. Great felling and really good price now. This one thing about elastomers is nothing because many people change it anyway 😀

Which pedals did you had before the sim jack pro?

Or is it a HE baseplate

Wondering the same thing

I got it from my friend in Poland. But here you have a link. It is not HE baseplate 😅 a.aliexpress.com/_EQeJNIP

@@MR.EVERLOST yeah I found it finally, idk why I couldn’t find it on the mobile site, it’s kinda pricey. I wonder if they could fit on the HE Sprints baseplate

@@nont3arful823 I dont check it but it should fit. Anyway if you want it from Poland write to me on IG or FB or try this link m.facebook.com/groups/541676326493639/permalink/1225225138138751/

Yes, you need to get m10 to m8 adapter, 8mm shaft and 8mm shaft plastic guide.

It was m6 for sure but don’t remember the length. I guess it something like 8-10mm

I recommend 3rod set

I ordered it in Poland so don’t know if this product from AliExpress have it also but I’m pretty sure it is included. Check product description or ask supplier 🙂

​@@MR.EVERLOSTPoland? Really? Can you link it to me? It would be easier for me as I'm from Italy

If you asking for this 3 extra rods - yes. Finally I don’t know if they are hydraulic rods or not but I use it and really like it. If you wonder if it’s good for throttle I think it’s great for throttle, especially when you cut the travel range (full range is too much - I use half of it and it’s more realistic, more proper and better for stock spring). Previously I had diy pedals without this and for sure now it works better for me. Also this can avoid a bit of „wobbling” - I show it on my second SimJack video where I put on them HE elastomers. 3 rods is a good setup and I never saw anyone who remove any of this kind of rods from HE ultimates.

Which mods I made they feels perfect for me. It is not Heusinkveld but now they are good enough. Easiest brake mod what I saw include white elastomers from Heusinkveld Ultimate (whithout +). They should have same hole diameter as SimJacks stock elastomers. Also short preload with compression limiter has cool feeling - some people dont like it but I like it a lot 😀

@@MR.EVERLOST I've been looking at these pedals but I'm still waiting on my setup to arrive itself, bought a McLaren gt3 rdy2race bundle

I saw someone use skateboarding truck bushings instead of the spring for the brakes

@@gunnimikki yeah I know. It’s good as quick fix but stock elastomers are garbage so replace them is anyway required. People tweak brake pedal in so many ways and this modifications are subjective. My second video show how I put HE elastomers on the brake - it was game changer for me especially with spring mod copied from HE. After some time I can only say that elastomers and stock spring is the worst part of this product. When you buy for example Simagic or Heusinkveld you can adjust brake as you like and you have parts to do that. Here you need to find idea and good quality parts as replacement to make it work as it should. Regarding to skateboard parts…I saw video with skateboard elastomers but is a cheap and temporary solution. On SimJack discord you can find examples what happened with stock elastomers after few months of use. I noticed their damage after 6h of playing, so I removed them as fast I can.

Oh I see you are a very precise person, just for you: I've never driven a car with such a soft brake and such a long travel. I still maintain that the feel in the stock SJP is not akin to what you experience in real cars (regardless of their type, especially racing cars). The aim of this video was to highlight that the product has potential but needs minor modifications. As seen on Discord, many SJP owners are aware of this and especially focus on the brake mods.

I know, I just call it as it is on the SimJack store but you have right. I could be more precisely next time 😄

they are not springs, this a hydraulic cylinder

Assetto corsa

Yeah it is. I almost fix it and I will share video soon, but need to order custom preload spring same as in Ultimate+ People put washers and tighten current spring but I think it is not good solution solution.

clown 🤣🤣

@@MR.EVERLOSTlooking forward to your video! I have the minis and yes they share the same long spring that needs to be fixed. IMO a thicker and shorter spring would improve the feel much more. I tried without spring but I still prefer more pedal movement

@@Steve93K I waiting for Ultimate+ spring replica and I will share follow up. Finaly I used HE elastomers and it looks pretty same as in U+. Works great but it is not So easy to fit to SimJack Pedals. Stay tuned 👍

Looks like a strong smaller spring or just preloading it with washers should work. Replace bushings with either metal "washer" or polybushings for a arb should work as well, maybe skateboard bushings might work too since they're essentially the same. Nothing a little diy can't fix.

it's not the lack of a microphone, it's just some barrier in my head :D maybe one day I will share my lovely voice with the world 🙌

​@@MR.EVERLOSTI like video reviews mixed with texts like that. Really well done! Great work!
