And who keeps her for the weekend only?

Or who drives their skyline anywhere at anytime?

Just curious.

Scott.

BTW i have a VL as my work car so my pride and joy sits in my garage until the weekends roll around.

1) Yeah me

2) Yeah me

3) Yeah me

4) F&*k that - drive & enjoy !!!!

I use the gtr when I can't get the CRV.

Why? cause when the gtr comes out, people turn into d*ckheads and have to "prove" something to you. People couldn't careless when in the CRV.

track days I try to get the tarago. But parents forbid me to race the tarago. so I have to put up with the gtr..... *sigh* :rolleyes:

No way.

I use my 'line to get to work. I do limited shopping with it. I drive it to friends places and just general use.

I gets run on weekends as usual.

My rule of thumb is that if it's raining, take the wagon.

If you need the capacity for hauling shopping, take the wagon.

If there's a possibility the car might be stolen or it's a bad area, take the wagon.

The Skyline and Mercedes get left at home if there's a hint of trouble.

T.

drive mine every day to and from work (only cause its an off street, security gated car park and im only 8kms from work)

i love driving mine on the weekend drives and cruises

i never park it at shopping centers or clubs or any where i cant see the car, when it has to be next to other cars in a car park then i simply wont park it there for fear of paint chips and dints from other car doors.

drive to work in it each week 500+ km's.

drive it on the weekend everywhere..

and do autokhana's in it every month..

best car on the planet :P

only park it in secure parking.. or on the street in the city during the day.. non of this dodgy area/unlit crap, cant trust anyone!!

I drive mine everywhere, every day car lowered to the max (tein), but still manage to not to scrap too much! don't park the beast in the shoppin complex carparks, due to dents from people who don't care about the car next to them. If I have to park in a car park I am a *unt and take two spaces!

why own a car if u don't drive it!:D:):D

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
