that's the front steering rack though right, not the hicas (rear) rack?

any extra lines that would normall go to the rear steering rack can just be removed, and plugged. :)

That's the front rack - where the banjos are on the right are where the normal power steering lines would go in.

Do they NEED to be bunged? I've heard that it may make the steering heavy without them bunged.... I don't see the theory though unless it's leaking something.

They shouldn't need to be plugged up. Front and rear steering are completely seperate except for a common resevoir.

I do remember that there are no lines going from the front rack to the hicas rack though. Are you sure it's an R32 rack? I've got a feeling that it's S13 as they had a junction (completely seperate) on the rack, but it's been a while since I locked S13 hicas.

I got an answer I need to plug it in my build thread.

What you're saying is that those 2 are the ones that lead to the rear and so they're totally seperate to the ones coming in from the PS pump/reservoir?

There are ZERO, NONE, NOT ANY connections on the front power steering rack that go to the rear. They have NOTHING to do with the HICAS. The HICAS and the NON HICAS front power steering racks are exactly the same.

:( cheers :O

Ok thanks that clears that up.

In that case what the hell are those holes for?

Thanks guys.

Turns out it was a non-issue. When I bought my rack I didn't realise I got that part seperately, so when I found it I put it on just to be safe. It's not hooked up to anything though :\

It's in now :P

Oh and if anyone finds this topic and puts a plate on it or re-installs the sensor make sure you use O rings.. nice fat ones that fit well :P

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
