:yes: hay guys, i finally got my skyline in my drive way. well i need a dif and a new windscreen but apart from that it all good, i was thinkin about making it a sleeper, but my income to do that and keep up with the price of petrol and the amount of driving i do is just insain, so i want to emprove the looks of the engine bay, i thought about replacing the raditor hoses with thoes steel braided ones and maybe putting one of thoes support rails that sit on top of the shockes that go accross the engine on but what else is their that i could do to make it look appealing, i want it make people go wow when they look under the hood. for thoese of you that want to know its a R31 skyline GXE 3.0 RB30 motor with an auto trans.

cheers. shaun :)

Welcome to the R31 car ownership club. The tech info page at www.r31skylineclub.com is your best friend. The best look for an engine bay is a meticulously clean one. A strut brace for your car will do nothing for its appearance, or it function. Clean, and shiny always makes people go WOW.

yes.. pull everything apart and clean every part induvidually for true cleaness, and paint stuff like the rocker cover a nice colour, nothing too bright otherwise an ignorant cop might assume its done up.

taking everything out and respraying the bay is good too..

      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?
