The mazda 3 MPS is a front wheel drive!

and i comes stock with 18x7" wheels!

They go pretty hard hey! :)

Go hard alright - we've got the mazda 3 pilot car(press car) from Mazda Australia. They've given it to us for 2 months to see what we can do with it. In standard trim it made 160.8 Front wheel kilowatts on about 12psi of boost. We are hoping to make another 30kw on top of that with another 4-6psi of boost.

The Mazda 6 MPS (4WD) he had made about 155awkw and went to 190awkw on about 19psi of boost after we tuned it. Both have the same engine.

Personally the Mazda3 MPS has made me consider selling my skyline as they are just such a good little car and handle so well. It will be interesting to see if DSC will handle the extra 30kw being a front wheel drive.

I think the first thing you should do is put a BIGGER turbo on it!! :P

Personally i couldn't ever go back to a front wheel drive after owning a skyline. :)

That's, what, like 210hp at the wheels from a factory hatchback! That is seriously nuts! About 30hp more than my R32 GTS-T (on standard boost)! Shit, I need either some boost or a new car, and quickly!!!

The 3MPS are unreal - a mate owns one

My fiancee and i also own a SP23 - great daily cars, nice and comfortable, good on fuel and well built with a 2.3L n/a motor.

Its pretty fun to drive - even my mate with the MPS was impressed at how well it goes and corners for n/a!!

      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?
