KLR33 - did you have yours on the abck of a trailer towed by an R31?

I saw a black 33 with a bloke putting it on a trailer...wonder if it was you?

and if so - how does the 31 go for trailering??

wonder if my 31 could do it :D

that was me

the 31 tows , well better than nothing is the best i can say about it

i would go to wake feild in it but no futher

i have koni shocks n pedders springs gts2 brakes and no third syncro

its ok but not ideal

lucky the 33 is striped out so i can fit tyres n all the rest of it in there.

that was a fun day

i still smile when i think about the wet ec track

and i think there is another private practice on 27 th of nov

i hope i have time n cash so i can keep up with some of u all next time

you kidding me!!!!??? , half the fun was learning the limits in the rain......

I'd say this is perfect for people to learn about how cars behave in the rain......and how you can a really insane amount of understeer follow by oversteer

really really worth doing it in the rain......fcuk lap times, they mean shit, not when the things you learn in the rain can help you stay alive on the road.

I'm still have a smile from going down the main straight at 200km/h in heavy rain.

Yeah i know what you mean, but i meant cause the Vics drove interstate to do good times :)

    • 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?
