Can anyone advise me on how I can build a car charger for a firewire-only
ipod? How much current can you pull from the cigarette socket? And what
voltages does the firewire charging require?

More than enough. Probably 10 amps or more.

Cheers,

If you have a normal household 240 volt charger, then buy a small 12 volt to
240 volt inverter for under $100. It will run an 18 volt laptop happily from
a 12 volt cigarette lighter.

Hope this helps,
Peter
