yes but i wonder how many hours at $XX.XX/hr labour and $XX.XX in parts it would really take to make and then ensure it could talk with an app and be neatly packaged?

if i had the time or expertise i would. i get paid more to do what i do so will stick with that :)

if you can beat $170 US a piece and make a profit for your efforts then you have yourself a business!

yeah convenience vs cost is always a factor. I think the hacker in me is always curious about the details though.

Actually I wasn't thinking of replicating the OBD2 functionality, but more along the lines of generating a wireless signal out of a CONSULT signal in the same manner, then the same app could be used with older skylines.

I just got my iPad, so hopefully it will run off that also.

I do hate being the bunny and paying a margin for things when I can avoid it. I was hoping this would provide a better interface than the COBB for tracking and monitoring track temperatures but haven't a clue how it logs it yet. Will give it to Trent to have a play with down at mercury whilst the car is in his shop and see if he can find a genuine use for it. otherwise it is just a cool gadget.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
