Im currently trying to sell my 33 and i am getting sick and tired of all these people ringing up and asking for my address without even trying to build a pretense about wanting to buy it. how stupid do you think i am. If someone calls and asks 1 have you still got the car and 2 whats the address. alarm bells are ringing mate. Is anyone else out there copping this? coz i'll tell you right now. you better have some balls and a bullet proof vest if you think youre gonna come round to my place and rip my car off. I have 2 unfriendly rottys, a shooters license and a martial weapons collection. TRY IT.

sorry people, but im sure im not the only one and i wanna hear if theres other people out there having this happen? if this is happening to you or people you know post and spread some awareness before peoples rides start going missing while they're selling their car.

ive test driven cars and the owner has said i could take it bymyslef but i always insist they come incase of any unforseen events. also i think they should do it for theyre own sake ! :)

Same here. Even doing it with car 2nd hand dealerships, and such. I'd prefer if the salesman came along.

i just give out the address..

maybe you will get lucky and you can make a claim for the stolen car..

much less hassle than going through the barrage of questions people usually have.

I am selling a ford fricken laser and get hassled about its history bigtime..

its a fricken factory serviced fully log booked car...get over it.

Crime is Rife (almost touted as a japanese yakuza slogan...kekeke)... we gotta just deal with it. I hope no one tries to rip your car off... and i hope you sell it soon..

oi maybe just say... "this is my address....if you get lost just listen for the 2 rottys barkin"

      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?
