My car will be entered!!!

Alan: 0427076490 (Mob)

Have to remember to grab my brothers helmet.

Have to get home, put my stockies back on, then drive down to calder. Hope i finish early!

I was considering putting some semi slicks on, but decided against it as i want to see the gains (If any, but better be otherwise i am going to kick some more BUTT on Saturday morning) of my modifications since my last runs.

The rims will be wearing 205 yokahamas (sp). Unfortunately they are a hard compound, and mated with my stiff Tein suspension, the car has a far from optimal set-up. :D

I am just laying down a bunch of excuses to cover my ass when someone else kicks my butt down the 1/4 :D . Just remember to be gentle as this is only my second time, i don't believe in street drags (my license is my job and vis-versa), and i owned a 350,000+km XF falcon on GAS before this!!! :uh-huh:

:burnout: All in all i am going to give it a go and have a fun evening with you lot! :burnout:

DON'T BE A PUUUSSSSSY and have a run. Once you see all the other 'lines going down the 1/4 you will regret not entering.

ahaha.. bad luck ambz.. you miss out .. i'll take some photos for ya but its never quite the same as being there :( i told nark that it was a bad idea to leave it here 'cause everybody would miss it, but he didn't listen.

I'm skipping out at 4:30pm to get there ..

my car is ready to booocha .. my bar is patched up, my helmet is ready, my car is tuned hard... and :burnout:

I'm just gonna run my standard street tyres (235/45R17) cbf sticking my stockies back on (no grips anyway)

I thought u guys had been talking about going for like a week already...[im sure there was another post in vic section few days back]

AMBZ: you dont have to get there @ 6 if your not running, you can still go like between 7-8 and see heaps o action...I prolly wont be there at 5:30 / 6 - too much traffic onthe way at that time! If I am going it may be around 7...

    • 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?
