Hi everyone. Ive recently installed a JUN FRP bodykit on my R33 skyline, after going to get a wheel allignment today i found that the allignment machine wouldnt read a meausrement on the front??? apparently im told that this is due to the front bar being too low?? does this sound normal? the front bar is similat dimension to a 400R front? i really dont want to remove it and reinstall it just to get the wheels alligned? im thinking i should try a different allignment shop?? any thoughts appreciated.

cheers

Sam.

if the bar is too long the string that connects to the 2 front wheel alignment heads touch the kit and put the reading out. you have to go somewhere that has a better wheel alignment machine that uses lasers instead of strings

The alignment machine I use at work runs on lazers, and yes if the front bar is too low, the lazers cannot reach the other heads, the front bar can get in the way, this is a normal problem, we normally ask people to remove the front bar for us to align it in situations like that, not too many places in Adelaide that I know of that can align a car with a really low front bar.

not too many places in Adelaide that I know of that can align a car with a really low front bar.

would you be able to name somewhere that u know of that can? im reluctant to remove the bar because its not an easy task to remove and replace.

thanks :rofl:

    • 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?
