Hey all,

Hows this for luck,

Before deciding to sell, get a yellow sticker for a air pod stupid little reason (being pulled over)

a couple of months later I advertise my car, 1 week later have a frontal accident my fault, $2800 out of pocket, car gets badged outside my house last night

Not good, and beleive it or not, my silvia before hand, had a yellow sticker, followed by getting badged, followed by a frontal accident ($5000 Damage), shire of swan was at fault, then sold it. It is like a cycle for me.

Anyway, anyone know where i can get the side GT badges from?

Thanks

Kris or "Krash" as everyone now calls me

Kris Krash... ROFL... Almost Kris Kross :)

Andrew. :uh-huh:

Bad driving, nah not with my silvia, a garbage truck reversed into me, stupid garbo wasn't looking , plus the camera used to view cars behind wasn't looking, didn't have time to reverse, i had my hand firm on the horn

With my skyline, well i admit it was my fault legally but that guy could not drive. It was at a giveway sign, there was no traffic coming from the opposite direction, one old ute in front of me, still looking in the opposite direction i started to drive and hit his car. He didn't even move, not one car was coming for miles. He couldn't drive, but it was partly my fault for not looking, anyway that aside, i am a relatively good driver. My first accident where i was at fault

Its always the way, its almost as if your cars can sense your going to sell them, My first car when I put a for sale sign on it, the next day it conked out, and the fuel pump went, then someone ran into it at the supermarket, then I chipped the windscreen.

My 2nd Car, as soon as I had decided to sell it, some lady reversed into it and drove off, the electric windows stopped working, then I got an EPA letter.

I think it just seems to happen when you go to sell your car, its like the car doesnt want to be sold.

Same thing has happened too me. I was lookign for a skyline and was trying to find some good insurace. I switched to full comp just to give me more credibility when i get insurace for my skyline. I got a rating 2 with RACV. Then someone cuts me off, i swerve and miss them and hit someone else. The person causing it just drive off, and i had no details.

So it costs me $800 and now im a rating 4, goodbye sykline. Hello cheaper car + 3rd party insurace.

If the silly loser who cause the accident had have stayed in his lane then i would never have had the accident. And still had a reasonable rating and be $800 richer.

I dont completley understand.

Does my employer have to sign anything? If they do then they will have to look over the legal aspects and then this is a cost to my employer, which they wont appreciate.

Who is Entity? Can you give me a web site and/or a phone number?

Also through prosperion you car must be less than 8 years old at the end of the lease which means ill have to get an early R33 98 skyline if i want a 3 year lease.

So what car did you get through entity/prosperion?

    • 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?
