Hi there,

Three days after picking up my very-near perfect V35 it was egged. If you car has never been egged, the shattering shell leaves behind a series of very small scrathes that go right through the paint. Apparently eggs shells are very sharp.

Does anyone know of a great auto detailer in Sydney's inner west to help with a repair. I don't have a pic but essentially it is about 20 very small scratches in a circle the size of a 20 cent piece.

Also, if you have ever egged a car, you are a d!ckhead.

Ben.

Hey mate,

Depending on how bad the damage is, it shouldn't be too hard to do yourself. Just get some quality products from supercheap or autobahn and try doing it yourself. :P If not that then maybe a post/search in the NSW Section would be better.

Sorry to hear about your 'attack' and goodluck with the repair.

I'm getting Mark from DR Detail to detail my car tmr.

BUT MY MISSUS TOOK THE CAMERA!!!!

So i dunno if i can take good pics.

I hate c**ts that egg cars! :) Deserve to be beaten to death.

On a more lighter note, try Meguiars Scratch X, it's the best stuff i have used to get deep scratches out unless it is completely down to the metal, which in that case only new paint can fix.

Thanks for your responses guys. I agree, people who egg cars should be put down.

The plan is to try Scratch X first (I need some for my R32 anyhow). When that doesn't work (I'm sure it won't) I will try these contacts out to see how I go.

Thanks heaps!

    • 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?
