After two months of waiting I finally picked up my car from the cargo mob in Freo yesterday.

and all I can say is DAMN!, its in a shitload better condition than the photo's I saw of her in Japan and came with a few extra suprises in the boot also (spare set of adjustables, stocky's, airbox, dump pipe, clear indicators). damn damn damn happy :(:D:(

now onto Stage 1 :)

Adam32, full cage, recaro seats, harnesses, hks boost controller, apexi rsm, apexi turbo timer, apexi afc, sparco rims, aluminium bonnet, gtr grille, coilovers (can't remember the brand), kakimoto zaust and some other gadgets and has only done 34odd kkms. very good nick indeed.

DLuded, got it in myself with the help of Geoff from PrestigeMotorsport.

WOW thats a list as long as ure arm:eek:

Only 34k on the clock is excellent did u check that under the seat to see if it its legit.(not taking any of the fun outta it but its always good to check)

If you dont mind my asking what ballpark price for such a sexy beast?

adam32: yeah 13th looks good at this point, ill ask some mates tonight and see if their interested.

boostzor: where do you check under the seat? although its a bit hard with the aftermarkets in there which jam up against the cage, its a prick sometimes just to adjust.

it set me back 17k + onroad, but its already gone 500$ over budget at the moment so itll most probably end up costing me 19k on the road.

Dude you run a business right? Speedfreaks.

Claim it as a company car? whole becomes a tax deduction then :(

you'll be laughing.

PM me and i can put u in touch with someone who did this with a GTR.

skyzzer33, on the books im officially not employed.. i did that as I was at uni and didnt want to effect my austudy and so forth. the business isnt making any money anywho as we sell most of the stuff to mates, its just a good way to get cheap stuff :O

gradenko: stage 1 = new turbo and i/c :P

gotta read damn manual for the HKS EVC and get it going properly, its supposedly set at the same levels for high/low at the moment (0.76bar) but the warning alarm still goes off sometimes (0.9bar) and its too hard to look at the gauge when this is happening to see what its actually hitting. hehe

    • 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?
