If your all so worried about fuel prices check out

www.fuelwatch.wa.gov.au (perth peeps only).

U can check out the price graphs and search for the cheapest metro on any fuel.

By the way i paid $1.359 for ultimate yesterday in wanneroo on the way to drift battle and only got 335km a tank.

This is total BS!

$3 a liter? so what happens when the country just shuts down because normal working class people can no longer afford petrol? are we all going to ride f*cking push bikes to work?

how is it that in less then 3 years petrol has crept up from .70c a liter to $1.50 per liter?

doesnt south australia have enough oil under to make our own petrol to service australia for the next x hundred years but because we are a part of opec we cant use it.

also, is like .50c of that $1.50 pure tax? I wonder how long it will be before there is a total revolt in this country.....

You can also blame the governments for taking so much tax out .. when they levy nearly 50% in taxes..As you can see below:

QLD seems to be 10-15c/L cheaper than NSW and VIC, and has an extra rebate to reduce the prices. Go lobby your state governments to do the same.

how is it that in less then 3 years petrol has crept up from .70c a liter to $1.50 per liter?

70c?! last time it was 70c/L was about 10 years ago.

I heard the other day on the news it was going to be $3/litre sad.gif

bahaha.. you believe what you see on the news .. bahahahaha

and more bahahaha.. Look they are always doomsaying and things as whoever says it gets attention. We'll see. They were saying things such as this during Gulf War I. 10 years on its gone up but not *that* much.

i used to complain when premuim petrol cost 90+cents when i got my first turbo charged car, that was usually on a saturday or friday nite ... it was usually in the high 80's i think for premuim, so 80 odd cents for normal petrol, this was about 5 years ago

and me, well im on gas, but thats going to go up too, boo

thinken about either buying a motie bike

or just a pushbike

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
