I built a sliding platform in a 36" cabinet to support a cast iron 4" joiner years ago. The side supports were made from ash and liberally waxed to allow the tool to be used in place or to be removed and set on a separate support if more space were needed. The picture isn't the best, as the cabinet is currently blocked by equipment stored in my garage, but it should give the general idea for the support.
At two thirds extension the platform did not need any extra support legs and I used hardwood (ash) support material on the perimeter of the plywood as well as across the center areas. Overall it was fairly compact in height and also designed to clear the hinges used for the door that covered it when not in use.

Any options you may have as far as the fence is concerned should be governed by local building codes or state laws, if there are any specific to this for your area. As the fence is clearly on your property and the neighbor has abandoned the issue (unfortunately), I believe that the fence is considered to owned by you and would be considered by any governing agency to be yours and your problem. You could try to file in small claims court, but the risk of costs to do so, in my opinion, would outweigh any possible return.

From the issues you describe, it might be best if you were to take the tool to a repair service center and have them attempt to diagnose the problems. If this is not feasible, then the first thing I would do would be to inspect the pressure cut-off switch to see if something in it is jamming its function or if the small pressure tube that feeds it is blocked. As far as the vibrations you are experiencing, there are just too many variables that could cause the issue to be able to give any accurate advice without actually seeing and hearing the unit run.

Personally, I feel that attempting to create a nail gun that ran off of gasoline would be an engineering nightmare. The fuel used in the Paslode is a compressed gas form of fuel that can be controlled efficiently (they had their share of catastrophic failures during design testing phases, if I remember correctly), and the exhaust fumes from the gas they use isn't as caustic as the exhaust from gasoline might be. Automotive fuel would require some mechanic to atomize it and add an appropriate amount of oxygen for proper detonation, and I highly doubt that an effective system could be minimized to a cost efficient size that would also pass federal safety regulations, not to mention the problems with the resulting exhaust fumes in any enclosed spaces.
PLEASE HELP! Hitachi Drill Powered Tablesaw

I believe the first item you need to find is a parts list and/or schematic. If you have a model number, you can generally find an online parts supplier that might have it in their database. From the looks of it though, it will be an Asian regional item and may be a bit difficult to find. Hitachi does have some convoluted power designs out there. I used to own one of their band saws that was powered by one of their three horse power router motors using a step-down gear drive to match the rpm that a normal single phase motor would normally produce. It was one of the noisiest tools I ever owned.
