hahah looks awesome, but I'm too impatient to roll through spoon drains that slow.

When I first put the BC's on the front, almost all the tire disappeared inside the guard. My son said to leave it like that, but I wouldn't have been able to get down the drive. It's often a compromise between fashion & practicality. Good to see some guys don't care about being practical (no speed bumps in his neck of the woods?) so we can admire awesome lowness :thumbsup:.

It will have more low after it gets a cert.

On the coilovers there's another 40-50mm to go in the dummy bottom, and then there's the spring rate adjustment too... I could possiblt make it lay frame as a static drop :thumbsup:

So many speed bumps! Every gas station I almost come to a complete stop when my chassis sits on them, and then there's the little metal grates in the forecort(for filling the tanks I guess?), I've actually pulled a couple of those out.... Any little bump the front subframe and swaybar sit on the ground, top arms hit body, its dragged the exhaust that much the rearest flange bolts came loose so my bozo pipe was flapping around abit haha...

It's still practical.... Can still go 100km/h... With sparks :cheers:

What rims are they if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah that's what I thought. I imagine the geometry will be extremely bad with handling to match.

And I would imagine the front upper arms are hitting the strut towers also on bumps.

Going for its wheel allignment today, camber is staying the same, just bringing elliminating the toe in.

Handles meh, better than factory, but yes, if there's a big enough bump the top arms hit body... And no doesnt hit bumpstops

I love how so many people comment on how bad it must handle... I don't care, it's not like I race it, that's what my RX7 is for..

Infact, after my cert I am going t odrop it another 30mm

I don't think anyone is attacking it, I know I certainly am not.. we're just talking about it. I think it looks great, but where I'm from it would last about 3 hours on the road before it's defected.

Or last 3 hours without ripping the front bar off on a spoon drain!

I dunno how you're going to manage with another 30mm drop but I cant wait to see how it looks worship.gif

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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?
