Hi Saliba,

Good to see a new enthusiest from the West :).

Very nice car; but remember you are modifing it according to YOUR taste, so don't take other people's opinions too seriously. Having said that........ i like it :P

If you are interested in going on cruises, bbqs, events, track days, etc, best join SAU VIC and be a offical member. Once a financial member you'll have access to the "members only" forum. Just open the 'sticky' at the top of the Victoria forum.

PS: I live in Delahey, which is only 5mins from St.Albans.

welcome mate..nice lookin 32

im from hoppers, so chalk up another west sider here....if you join SAU Vic, you can cruise to meets/events with the other westsiders, as the majority of the SAU Vic members are all on the otherside of town!

Hey buddy,

Best way to meet a few fellow liners and see what were all about is to come down to the general meetings at Bells Hotel on and say g'day to a few ppl. We have these the third Tuesday of every month.

Check it out here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=121607

Next on is the 20th June

hey guys,

damn alot of replies, appreciate the comments about the car and am definately modifying it to my taste.

reason i asked is not much of ma mates are car enthusiasts :dry:

to be honest im in delahey, but normally say st.albans cuz nobody knows wth delahey is hehe.

i havent seen any of the cars in the posts around here, al u say your in delahey?? maybe ill bump into ya im right next to maccas.

will happily come to the meets, so long as its not in the next month hehe had a lil burdy tell me cops will be

all over the place come next thursday night :wave:

anyone see's me around gimme a holla, love to find some enthusiasts in the area.

there is a krazy lookin green kermit the frog lookin r32 near deer park shoppin centre, im usually around there as my fiancee lives in that area.

take care all

Hey David,

As long as that lil' birdy is reliable, keep passing those messages over :)

The chances of you seeing my car are very slim, as it spends most it's life in the garage ;). If you see/hear a white AU falcon ute beep at you, i am sayin' hi.

Maybe it is time to organise a Westie meet, just to catch up and talk shit over a beer.............or two ;), once my car is back on the road.

there is a krazy lookin green kermit the frog lookin r32 near deer park shoppin centre, im usually around there as my fiancee lives in that area.

Drive past that all the time, i live up the street, very noice car!!!

Dun think they on here though?!?!? :

I'm in kealba on the weekends most of the time (in a generic looking black R32 GTS tho)... if you're around the campbellfield area come say hi to us at Driftline.

kealba area, yehh i drive passed their a bit, used to be a regular at the kealba hotel heh won 150 bux the other night there was rapped :)

driftline ey, whats the deal with that shop, what do yous specialise in, i bought my car from around that area, private importer supposedly, so much dodgy shietz wrong with it, engine was fooked, turbo died after a few days, smokin all up n everywhere, clutch died grrrrrrr....hoses not connected etc...

gives me the shitz how people break into and steal cars and rip pplz off, why import something thats hammered or sell something hammered ill never understand their mentality, anyway a bit off topic but yeh.

al, will definately been down for the west meet, i was about to suggest it in my last post but never got around to putting it in.

ill keep a look out for the ute, normally on the road around 9ish going to work, calder fwy area.

and yeh the lil burdys reliable but everyone would know about this, tokyo drift thursday night anyone?

    • 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... HTH
    • 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?
