Can someone please help me out with contacting one of the members whom I don't seem to be able to find.

I was positive his user was GTR88, but I can't find his reg in the members list and I need to get into contact with him urgently.

He posted a thread not long ago regarding some vandalism to his GTR and received some good response from others who may have leads on the culprit.

If anyone knows who this is or his correct user name, could you please let me know however possible.

Thanks.

Friend has recently had his Silver R33 GTR (S1) snatched from virtually under his nose. Witnesses say they saw a convoy leave the area with the GTR followed by a small white hatch, and then a red Supra.

I remember reading this thread and people noting a few leads, want to do something to help him out as I was involved when he brought it to Aust and it was immaculate.

If anyone knows anything 'bout a '95 Silver R33GTR, abso stock, around 20 - 30 k on the clock and a V spec. Front bar has been sprayed as faded lightly, otherwise pristine.

We're gonna get them.

All: I spoke to Gumby about this today.

This is getting to be a real problem. Will be speaking to Gumby more on the weekend - see if we can come up with some constructive ideas...

i havent checked the wastelands but...i was thinking, are the cops in on this? do they know its all linked? if so, are they going to do anything? and do they know they have a whole forum of "helpers" here...nothing "vigilante" style but i mean its got to stop, and i am willing to put my time(i have a lot) into helping the cops, or whoever, to stop em

    • 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. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
