I've been doing to some diy slowly here and there and was wondering if anyone can help me..

I've got a techtom cm100, its a digital temp gauge with an OBD2 sensor for a nissan and am hoping to hook it up to my stivo

I've done some cutting of the techtom and haven't started rewiring to my car yet.

Does anyone know which wires i need to connect?

Here are some pics:

OBD2 plug

Behind the glove box.. wire roulette

The brown wires weren't even connected to anything in the first place.. :S

For those who are interested in the rear sway, i called bursons in eltham just then and they can do it for 130. And if ur keen on a front strut brace the guy said it would be 140. I think u can get it down a lil bit. I spoke to Julio. Im going to get a rear sway next week =]

i may be in depending on how many people want in aswell. So just put me down as a maybe

Well there you go.. Looks like ill get a front AND rear sway after i get my tax return =]

Thanks everyone for the tips!

:o was that group buy or single guan?

where ever you are getting your prices for the Whiteline rear sway bar is a Joke!!

Jaderd and Myself got rear sway bar for $135ea and the front strut brace for $145ea i believe.....

I've gotten my quotes from Autobarn Doncaster and Supercheap in Preston. If u can help with pricing as cheap as u've said that would be great.

cheers mate, thanks for the help! Take ur time, im in no rush, and i don't think anyone else is either hahaha

WTF?! so ur saying it could be even cheaper?! im still doing a lil digging around to sus out the best deals i can get. If u can help that would really be appriciated!

Hi kenneth, Yes, i just got a pm from xoom and he's given the OK for the EOI ONLY! Im happy with that as im still in the early stages of this group buy. If it happens to go any further i will update him on it. And transferrring money can be decided on xoom or on you guys.

So why did I call it TinTin?

Heres why

So while at work I decided to lower the car.. Heres how I did it for free

Before:

After I loaded 20 odd boxes of survey material:

Dorifto : thanks mate, i think 1:46 is doable because its red hehehe.. But seriously i think with time and consistency its achievable. Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to catch up to Guni =]

I got home from work, only worked 1.5hrs in the phone room cause i wanted to get home, eat dinner and pick up the stivo. So I thought.. I was typing up a contract and saw that there was spelling error on the cheque my Dad got printed from the bank. I didn't think it was a problem until i called the seller. We spoke about the issue for over 10 minutes and I was so eager to pick up the car tonight I didnt want to give in that i couldn't have it =[.

FKN 1doit stup1d wh0r3 bank teller spelt the seller's name wrong >.<!! I want to stand in front of that bank teller and throw coins in their face.FKN SPEWING!. At least I don't have to wait another 24 hours..

Chrono Trigger : It was it tip top condition and Im really happy with it. I got it for $500 off the asking price.

DannyZZE123R : Reds my favorite colour =]

Im hoping the owner will get the car ready for my by tuesday or wednesday and i can orgnanise insurance so i can cruise down to Winton. I was really suprised at how quickly I'd come accross a sportivo and Im not kicking myself about having a car ready for the May track day. I want to do some mild bang for buck mods on it before tracking it in October.

The closest the sportivo will at this track day is in the visitors car park =] and im happy with that ..

see you at winton on sunday :) and the track in october

also WELCOME to the forums :D

missed a cruise yday mate, would have been good to see a red stivo there :D

hahaha thanks guys, I haven't got the car yet, ill be picking it up tomorrow night. IM FKN EXCITED!! And see you on Sunday trackday =]
