z34_nut Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I'm not about to hack up this partular car... As far as the wheels go, I'm going to use a CNC to cut the back of the wheel, to add more offset. I'm only going to do it on the front wheels. This way I save money and time... Soon my pretties...soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Ok, so bumper and spoiler is finally getting painted, and the wheels will hopefully make its way into the shop to be machined tomorrow... What else? Oh, nightshade should be here at some point... I'm not doing the berger panel BTW... I flaked out, and think it would have been a waste of money 2-3 years down the road.

z284pwr Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 So are you going to machine the back and front wheels? Or just the fronts and leave the backs how they are and just go with un-rotational wheel/tire setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Un-Rotational here I come! Mostly because I want the front and rear to stick out equal difference, and I don't want to spend 3 hours just milling wheels. I figure I'm already running uni-directional tires, and the only thing I can do is front to back. Unless I burnout or do some other seriously dumb stuff, then I wont really need to care. The tires were near new when I bought the car, and they don't show drastically different wear. Besides, having the wheels flush with the rear is some thing no other w-body owner has...

z34_nut Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 yeah, it comes with a seperate sensor that needs to be intalled, w/o removing the factory one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 IIRC, OBD II uses 2 coolant temp. sensors. Find out where the second one go's, and put it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Would the ODB I car even be made for ODB II... dunno I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Would the ODB I car even be made for ODB II... dunno I'll look into it. If it's in the back of the block, like the 3x00's on OBD II, then all you have to do is pull a plug out, and tap it with a pipe tap. That, and there wasn't significant changes made to the 3.4 block throughout the time it was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well I'll look into it. My buddy has acess to AllData. BTW I'm looking at ditching my Cobra wheels in favor of some lightweight 2 piece wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 LQ1s have 2 coolant senors. One is on the front head on the drivers side. and the other is in the LIM. The one on the head is the one used for the gauge. So you can remove that one completely without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
