Hey guys

just a small suggestion for the for sale section which I think would make life way easier for both sellers and buyers.

people who are posting on the wanted and for sale section especially the parts and accessories section normally just post "I have blah blah blah for sale make an offer or call me on 0411111111" with no location, price or pics and then you get a whole thread cluttered up with people asking the same thing for the seller to post about "can we have location. price. pics"

would it be easier to have like a layout that everyone has to follow?

for example:

For Sale or Expression of Interest threads

Prefix thread title with FS or EOI

Item:

Location:

Item Condition:

Reason for selling:

Price:

Payment Method:

Extra Info:

Pictures:

Wanted To Buy threads

Prefix thread title with WTB

Item:

Location:

Item Condition:

Reason for purchase:

Price range:

Payment Method:

Pickup Method:

Extra Info:

iv seen this used on other forums and have used it myself and it makes life selling and buying a whole lot easier.

Just a small suggestion.

Thanks

Ash

haha, how funny! :)

Just today I was browsing in the for sale area and I realised that I hadn't re-added that since the upgrade of the forums and tonight I scraped together the code from last time... What a classic.

I should be able to have it working over the weekend. :laugh:

lol shweeeeet

also regarding to people not using it if you have a mod that only monitors the for sale section he/she can like approve it before the item goes for sale to make sure the right codes are used. if its not the item dosnt get listed in the for sale or wanted section.

If we did that then we'd have major delays before posts were approved. The forsale mods have normal lives to lead as well :w00t:

Generally if you have half a brain and want your product to sell them you will take the relevant steps to achieve that goal. Ie using the template.

actually what needs to be done is either sort the business traders into sections/markets, or allow them to have examples of their goods in the part where it says "this is the traders thread for racespec" etc.

there are too many now to keep track of what they are selling without opening all of them to check

    • 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...

    • 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.
