Erik, if you are going to modify stuff [ie airfilter] do the dyno FIRST!

Its better to test as-is.

GTS-t VSPEC: no probs mate. So what measurment is used for the 33? I never had a close look when testing them - too busy keeping it str8 :) [with dealer sitting next to me].

Useless fact #101: The "0" reading on the 34 guage [see pic above] is neither boost nor vacuum - which sits at halfway point between -700 mmhg [vacuum] and +1 kg/cm2 [boost].

Erik you must be hitting the 1/2 mark between 0 and +1, one post you said 3/4 another post u said 1/2 - so which is it?

Just trying to work out if your boost is in the normal range or not!

sorry nismo 1/2 from 0 to 1, 3/4 the whole boost gauge, i think i'm getting a new one. Dang , i put air filter already today with nice sound, cheap one 35 bucks hehee it's nice sound

ok, that is definately in the normal range for a stock 34! Mine used to be like that too :)

Maybe you should organise a dyno run dude, get them to check your CAS [crank angle sensor] timing and listen for detonation while your there. If it doesnt pull around 150+ kilowatts then there may be something wrong. Mine with some minor mods recorded 182kw.

Also what type of fuel do you use? If you put normal unleaded [89-93 ron] or even so-called 'premium' unleaded [93-95 ron] in your car this could cause problems like timing retardation or detonation. You definately need to get the car looked at if its not running like it should ~ which is ~ fast!

I only use BP Ultimate - 98+ octane.

expensive? In Vic its usually cheaper for me than Optimax.

I have heard its made here though so you guys would pay more in transport costs - but at least you can get Ultimate / 98 octane fuel, not everyone can get it Aust wide.

Prices are normally:

Ultimate - maximum of 6.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Optimax - maximum of 8.5cpl dearer than unleaded

Both s/stations are usually the same advertised price so Ultimate is normally around 2cpl cheaper!

Just my 2c worth :P

    • 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?
