lets vote for SAUQLD club to make the payment for SKA'S fuel then

*sigh* it wouldn't be a thread in Qld if there wasn't a bizarre comment from someone...

I just wanna see Cy again, so i'm donating $10!

Read further Ska!! There is a lot more fuel/flight money in here!!

Yeah :nyaanyaa: I hit the reply button prematurly, I saw you started reading the thread and got all hot & wet then it just happened!

Ill give cyrus a hug and a hot pie... (He makes enough money to buy fuel, he just does not eat enough, skinny bastard)

I am sooo spewin that I am not down there, and totally didnt expect everyone to "donate" petrol money in the thread I dont expect you guys to pay for me, I really am touched and miss everyone down there. I wish I was as harcore as Squizz, you know he drove all the from up here down there just for a cruise! That is dedication!

Smooth, could you PM me how long are we talking about before this happens and what night is it going to be happening?

I cant make any promises, but with a wife and two kids, needless to say I have better things to spend ~$300 on then a trip to brisbane right at this point in time. We are currently paying off a vet bill that will allow him to buy his own 747 jet because our cat was hit by a car and didnt die. Also we are looking at buying a house, so really need every penny we can for a deposit.

I am sure you out-do yourself once again, and if I definatly cant make it I hope everyone has a blast and vents all this backstabbing shit and do exactly what you said, no polictics, no backstabbing, no shit, just good times, and great freinds!

Cy

And I support any R33skyliner non-attendance!! The boy is a cop magnet with his antics!!

ive done worse im sure of it. this one time, i was thrown outta murwilumbah and told if i ever came back id be locked up... boy that was a fun night!

lol

yes matt lets get a date on this, im hell keen

btw cy all im hearing is "im soft, im weak and hows my violin skills dial 1800 weak sauce"

it would be good to see ya down but if ya cant make it its understandable, the cost of fuel these days is stupid and that doesnt even come close to covering my feelings about it.

LOL @ Weak-Sauce comment.

I'm so in on this one. Happy memories of happier times. Might not be in Bris much longer so i'm so in on this one before i leave.

I only have a track Skyline now, the 4 door has a new owner. If I can turn up in my Range Rover (modified ...of course) it would be good to see some of you guys (and gals) again.

I don't know about giving petrol money to Cyrus.....every time he gets fuel in that Stagea of his....he goes out and mutilates it!!....oh well what are friends for...I'll put up $5 :)

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • 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.
