Hi all. I'm pretty new to these forums and don't think I have posted yet. So I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Username is [ slayer ] on any forum i'm on incase people here frequent other sites.

I'm the owner of a black series 2 r33 gtst. I've owned it since November last year, and it was stock except for rear strut brace and cd player.

My first 2 cars were s12's which I sold following the purchase of my 3rd car, my 1988 Honda CRX. I love the CRX but unfortunately was written off last year after an incident with a wombat on the road, and about 3 weeks later I got my Skyline.

So far I have made a custom parcel shelf, and installed 2 way speakers in it, a 4 channel amp in the boot on a custom made panel which covers the battery. Have a 12" sub running off the amp and i'll soon be installing front splits also to run off the amp. I've also installed a turbo timer.

Finding it hard to locate trusted suppliers and workshops etc as all my car enthusiast days have been with the CRX so I feel like a fish out of water and hence waited a while to post on here.

Overall intention is to get the car suitable for track work, but also can't deny I enjoy making the car look a bit different to stock.

Would love to know peoples opinions on my current plans for a Final Konnexion bodykit, Racing Hart CX rims (17" i think), and a flush sitting boot without spoiler.

Hey welcome Slayer,

just curious how much damage did the wombat do?

I've heard of urban myths that if you ran over a wombat they are so tough that axels can snap, rip off wheels etc. just thought it would be interesting to know the truth.

cheers

Michael

welcome buddy....

you want a track car? start with the suspension and brakes, then come see me for a set of semi-slicks. i'll hook ya up.... :)

Semi-slicks hey ... what can you do?

Also, I hit a wombat a couple of months ago in my Falcon ute. Hit it on the left side. It destroyed the front bumper bar and I needed a wheel alignment but that was it. I reckon I got off light.

i wonder if someone has a copy of the pics aurua took when he nailed a wombat. From what i remember broken front bar, bent intercooler piping, can't rember if that was it or if it also did something to one of his wheels and shock absorber ???

I took this one.. it was very yuck :P

ah yea thats the one shell although looks like it hit the front not the side. either way not pretty :wave:

Wow, that looked pretty serious, but I suppose they are sturdy little critters. how much was it to fix?

but not as bad as I thought as in, wheels detached from cars etc.

I can hook you up with the Federal 595RS. i've only just recently taken them off my car (not by choice...:rofl: ), and i wish i had another set. they're awesome... come out to the museum on friday and give you more details...

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      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.
