similar to tommy kaira, but not the same. Tommy Kaira is the opposite. Digital display on the left, analogue dial on the right. I did see a picture of the tommy kaira...trying to find it. Wanting to see if these are commonly available

post-1887-1195711722_thumb.jpgI believe it is a factory option - whether Nismo or otherwise, I am not sure. When I was bidding for cars through Imports 101, I put in a hopeful bid on a V Spec II Nur. We were blown out of the water on price, but Danny got some more pictures, which included the one attached.

Hope this helps.

Cheers. ;)

P.S. Not sure what the symbol is in the middle, lower half.

well yer that symbol is an R and looks like the tommy R

Yes, when I put my specs on and squeeze my eyes nearly closed, I can see it may be a Tommy K "R" symbol. If it helps, I have attached the auction sheet from that car. As far as I can tell, it is described as a V Spec II Nur. I do not know enough Japanese to know if it is referring to Tommy Kaira anywhere. Perhaps someone else does?

Cheers. :)

haha cool ta...yeah it says 'at 296km meter changed to Tommy Kaira R1'

Glad to have helped! So are you buying the car - or just intrigued?

Cheers. :(

not looking at this one...just looking at dash options for later instead of the normal nismo white dial replacement.

Cheers all :D

    • 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?
