CLASSIC! I like your sense of humor.

Alrighty heres where I stand, ive managed to get this far:

Ive replaced the studs and at the stage of attaching the clover disk to the drive shaft. Everytime I push it in the shaft back slides back in. Im not to comfortable beating the crap out of it now. So im hoping to grab some advice of some people who have done this before.

Any advice would be good. Im about to cry as it has taken me a week to get this far.

LOL damn man sorry to hear bout that, that thing looks awesome.

BUT, the same thing happen to me and a friend on a go-kart, he was driving along and the wheel just flew off and i was chasing it.

would have been funny to see it happen to a car.

once again though, sorry! lol

At the time it wasn't so humerous but now i look back on it I see it as an omen and have a good chuckle over it.

I found a few things that definitely need looking into. At present it still has only 3 wheels but i have sourced a hub for $150 so I will get that fitted this week sometime.

Tomorrow I will order the custom carpet and roof lining which should be ready by the weekend. After that its a full service and tune then registration time.

After rego comes the paint touch up and she will be ready for show and tell.

How much is the custom carpet and roof lining. When u say carpet, it's not the floor mats right? It's the whole bottom end.

Cheers! =)

sorry to hijack, how much did it cost to send it from the eastern states. I am thinking about buying a skyline in melbourne. did the seller handle the arrangements to get it transported or did you do it from perth?

also i noticed ur car is quite low, any transport damage? the car i am thinking of getting has a bodykit.

Sup,

Hijack away. I went through Patricks Autocare and it cost me a little over 1400 to get it here. I went on word of mouth rather than what was the cheapest as i didn't want anything to happen to he car. If i had to do it again i would probably use someone else.

As for damage, from what I can see, there was none caused by the transport company. Just make sure you document eveything when it is recieved so when it gets here no yobbo has ganked your hard earned gauges/wheels/girlfriend.

As for the ride height, with the front bar fitted the car sits around 6cm from the ground. If you get one with a kit I would strongly advise having the front bumper taken off before transporting.

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
