Hello,

Most of the trackdays we participate in are run by Paul Ruzic (MountainRunner on the forums)

Dates are listed here http://timeattack.com.au/

Cheers,

Ben.

As the guys said, there is all sorts of motorsport on offer at Qld Raceway. You have Sat sprints, Wed Sprints, the Qld 500 coming up (see events thread), also they have special events there like the Dutton Rally, the new JDM series, club level racing and I run my track days.

Try some events out and go and watch some stuff and chat to the guys, its all about finding out what level you want to participate at and joining in.

I got your email to join my mailing list and I will process it shortly. My next day is booked out on May 17, but your more than welcome to come out and have a look and a chat. Its the Skyline afternoon so you will meet a lot of the guys from this forum. Many of them do the other events I mentioned above so you will be able to get lots of info.

Paul

Hey Paul

Thanks for that!!! but im at school on the 17th so won't be able to make it, but i definitely will try to make some pretty soon!!!!

And, in regard to the level that i want to participate in, i just want to be in a level where i can just do a few laps around QR and have some fun!!!

Cheers

    • 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?
