Well its a little screw behind the speedo... You have to take the whole speedo out, disconnect all the cables from it, they just pull out. Then its just a gold screw directly behind the speedo, so looking from the front, it should be down the bottom behind the 0, but on the back..... you'll see it. The screw is really small and either gold or silver and you just unscrew it and take it out. It should be near a light bulb on the back. Hope this helps but its really hard to explain. Maybe you want to meet up or something. Where abouts in Syd do you live. **** I just read that yours is a 1999 and I've got a 95, maybe its the same. Ask envy imports 99074144, I took mine out and asked them which screw it was! Or they can do it for $30.

yea I don't know about the wire, but I've heard about it. I got my car a month ago and when I was getting ny car complied I pull it out then. I've only been past 180 about 4 times, on the freeway and on the M2, its not really that much of a thrill. I plan on taking my speed out on the creek.

Taka sells them for US$82 (Pivot), and we all know Apexi also has RSM-GP for US$192 + US$46 for the optional G-Sensor, which makes the whole thing cost around $400... and they both have speed limiter remover function too...

How much better is the RSM-GP compared to Pivot, in terms of accuracy of accelleration measures, etc. I suppose RSM-GP will be more accurate if equipped with the G-Sensor?

Thanks heaps:uh-huh:

Dude, I have yet to find out if the 34 is the same as the older model in terms of speed cut [removal] - to me it feels more of an electrical / fuel cut than a simple / mechanical screw!

Of course if you buy one of the abovementioned gadgets, it will be fine. In terms of wire 53, I don't know anyone that has done this on a 34 - yet. 33 / 32 have afaik but not ours...waiting patiently :D

Not a Sales pitch....

But I have a mate that has all of the above mentioned and selling at a good price. All new and Boxed.

I can pass on his e-mail address if anyone is intrested.

what exactly disables it in an 33 ?

I have a Razo TT, Apexi S-AFC, and a few other electronic gizmos...just curious how it may have been done in mine - any of those devices do that? or somebody just cut the wire when they wired it in?

Just know that mine don't have it (wonder how i know that ;) )

Hey wrxkilla,

Can you provide me your friend's e-mail. I am interested in getting one of those devices.

By the way, I am getting a front pipe from HKS (BD4's) for $385. That doesn't sound bad does it? High flow cat will be courtesy of Just Jap. BD4's also sells HKS FMIC kit for approx $2,500...yum!!

      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...

      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?
