hey peeps.

currently running a 32 gtst 1990

current mods:

BOV

POD

FMIC

BOOST CONTROLLER

TURBO TIMER

HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH

COILOVERS

COILPACKS (SPLITFIRES)

3 1/4 EXHAUST WITH HI FLOW CAT

STOCK TURBO

STRUT BRACES

What would my next step be? I am not sure whether to start modding the engine(fuel pump, oil can etc) or turbo I know i need a ECU, which i am getting next week. but should i install that after or before turbz and engine work?

i would grab a fuel pump, and look for a good 2nd rb25 turbo, and get some form of management either something like an safc if you dont want to spend all that much or a re-map of your ecu that should net you around the 180rwkw, if you want more power then get one of the high flowed turbos from slide. i would also look at some adjustable camber arms to help control camber from lowering the car

id get a complete nolothane bushe kit, helps with handling something shocking!! bushes in a 17year old car will be getting pretty worn...

then a rb25 turbo and a fuel pump and a SAFC2, then get the whole lot installed at once and tuned. see if you enjoy your new power.

power goal = 190kw. that would be my goal i think. what are you running?

yep fit rb25 turbo pump and get a remap should get you 180rwkw +

me Im waiting on my new 32 to land

then it engine swap to a 25 hks 2835 external gate kit 256 cams nismo 555cc inj

pump cooler exhaust normal stuff

    • 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?
