had a 180sx before my first skyline, so either still driving that, although, by now i'd probably will have upgraded to a JZX100 chaser or JZS147 aristo. depends if i wanted fun or cruisy.

well technically if the "skyline" ie prince skyline didn't come around, DOHC engines wouldn't have been popular in japanese cars.

we'd all be driving around in the descendent of Isuzu Bellett GT-R's (came out 6 months after the first Skyline GT-R)... ie... Gemini's.

It was between a S8 FD RX7 and my GTR, so that makes the answer easy. I have had so many different types of cars not having the GTR to choose from wouldn't have mattered in the grand scheme of things, but the GTR is still my favourite car when it comes to driving regardless. :)

your cefiro wouldn't have an RB20 then... you'd have to do with a CA18i or some shit like that.

Thats based on the assumption that the RB range wouldnt have come along without the skyline. Hell if it wasnt for skylines they might have made a BETTER engine!

Damn it, you skyline people are bring my cefiro down!

lol i own a ceffy too. well the R31 brought the NICS RB engine around, along with the 200ZR Z31... then the ceffy's got an improved version (sorta like an R31 RB20DET with ECCS)... then the R32's got an improved version of the ceffy engine.

the price of right ahnd drive conversion alone! arghhh!

i gota buy the misses a yank tank stang anyways...

meh.. i bought the line for bang for buck.. ie.... the hole braking handling go package that didnt look fugly for my price range!

Im guess most will.. else id prolly be running around in an awd turbo econo box

Nice! i reckon you'd be able to fit an rb motor under that bonet! ;) might be a bit of a squeeze though.

now i think of it i wouldnt mind a series 8 rx7, i love the buzz from the 13b! :P

would probably go a 2JZ instead of an RB in that car, cause they use either 4AGEs or 2ZZ engines... so it would just be easier ;) IF it were to fit... would probably have to lengthen the chassis a bit...

Well I don't have a Skyline, but it would affect me as the RB30 would not exist.

Therefore the best engine ever to go in a Commodore would not exist, and Holden would've got the 3800 and placed it into the VL before the VN.

Oh the humanity. :P

Thank f*** for Nissan.

    • 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?
