I just tried to take the shaft out and couldn't undo any of the bolts.... they were way too hard. :-/

I think you need a couple of 12mm spanners. Look carefully and see which is the nut and which is the bolt. I think you can just get the open ender on the bolt and put the ring on the nut. If you get them close together you can squeeze them together or else use a hammer (!!) on the ring spanner. You may need to remove the clutch slave cylinder to give you room to get the shaft out.

snow car..lol

lol, nah doesn't look like a snow car. Pretty much clean underneath with no rust, no rust under the side mirrors too. :)

Yeah, i tried using a hammer and squeezing both spanners together with no luck. I just don't have enough room to move around underneath the car as I'm so cramped..... :-/

I dont mean to be rude but this was useless for me, my c34 wasnt set up like this at all. There were 6 bolts on the passenger side and a plate held on by about 10 or so on the drivers side. After we did figure out hosto remove these, and took it for a drive, i discovered that without the front driveshaft in there the hub bearing works its way out and the hub then becomes loose.

If theres a way to solve this, please let me know, otherwise i can't see how anybody runs their stageas in rwd.

Lol u took out the wrong drive shafts! The only way u coud do it like that is to remove the outer cv from the driveshafts and leave that bolted in the hub.

The easier option is to remove the drive shaft that goes from the transmission to the sump

after further research i discovered that the CVs apparently come off the ends, but i couldnt get them off, and the reason i was doing this was to run RWD while getting my CVs rebuilt, which was the impression i was under that i could do that. None of the pictures in this thread loaded up either, so that might have added to the issues :P

No one is going to find your post rude, just puzzling.

Removing the front driveshaft is the same on all C34's.

For anyone elses benefit the stuff to the right of the uni-joint and 4 bolts doesnt need to come off, it can stay on the front diff.

Housewife are you referring to tailshafts or CV axles? I always make an effort to specify which shaft eg, transfer case -> front diff shaft for such reasons. The pic above is that shaft.

Someone else will know for sure but I don't think you can run with your front half shafts out.

U can't!!!

Like I said earlier, the only way he could do it would to remove the outer cv from the drive shaft and leave it bolted through the hub, or if he got a hold of some spare outer cv's and put them in while the drive shafts/cv's were at the shop getting overhauled. I got a quote to do all cv boots front and rear, $250 drive in drive out same day, or $150 if I took the drive shafts out and took them in there. Personally I'll be doing the drive in out service as its a shit job to remove and fit drive shafts.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
