its hard to tell the differences between them when the 20 box is in the car but from what i can see the whole speedo system appears to be different? The 33 one looks as though it just slides in there but the 32 one looks as though it screws into the gearbox?

the easiest way to tell if its a 25 box is to pick it up... they are fat and heavy things! rb20 boxes are light as by comparison. both speedo's slot into the hole and are held by a single retainer, but the RB25 box is electric and the rb20 box is cable driven, hence the screw on attachment.

ye, problem is the only 20 box i have access to is in my car, 99% sure this is an rb25 box just looking at the speedo drive area! Hard to tell just by looking at it the size differnces!

pick it up then! lol

seriously. the 20 boxes are long and skinny where the 25 boxes are acctually shorter but MUCH fatter around the mid section

well the 25 box needs 2 people to lift so i'm guessing the 20 box you could lift with one person?

    • 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?
