stay away from veilside kits, they look shit. Matter of opinion, obviously, but I'm not alone in my thinking. My two favourite kits are the Trust (or Gracer), altho i can only find the front bumper, and the JUN kit. both are nice if you want to do a google search for them. And being a 4-stud wheel, it mite be a bit harder to find rims. Finding a deep dish rim is almost impossible. But if u have any luck, let me know. I want some rims for my NA as well.

cheers for the feedback and opinions..... the only reason i was lookin at veilsides is coz they are a round bodykit.......ya see sum skylines and they have these big bumpers that make the car the look square.....im preferably after a bodykit that will keep the same shape as the car...maybe like a JUN kit?

rims are hard to come by also coz the 4stud pattern....anyone know of any cheap places in adelaide to get good mags?

getting mags in 4 stud wont be a problem but dished rims is another story..

personally if i were you, i'd be getting the suspension done so it sits nice and low then look at some stereo bits.

you will gain a lot more from the suspension than the rims.

just my opinion..

yeh i was lookin into suspension mods, but having it too low would ruin any kit i put on it ( sloped driveway + low cars = scratches)

got a full sound system...amp, subs, 6x9's, 6's, mp3 player....gives headaches...haha...

as for rims, most suit skylines, could either match car colour or get chromies......???

veilside kits should be banned on the account of they are the most ugliest thing i have ever seen on a skyline.

a nice kit on your car that will suite its paintjob would be the do-luck

i know this might sound stupid, but i honestly dont mind the veilsides.....them, JUN's and DO LUCKS are my favs.

its just a matter of seeing em on skylines with the same colour as mine....all my mates have white ones............

Best to spend a couple hours searchin the net and see whats out there, you can find a pic of anything if you spend the time to look. The only opinion that matters is yours, the kit you get has to be in you own taste. It's a tough decision though i know!!! Find a few pics of you favs and chop them into one pic and make it your desktop background for a while and see which one grows on you the most.

I'd give mad respect if you got it despite everyone disapproval of it lol. Anyway have you checked out pics of other member rides on SAU for you to get some inspiration?

dude, get the kit that appeals to you most, at the end of the day you drive the car, and im sure you want to be happy with how it looks, i don't hate the veilside kit myself, the front is a little off but the main thing is that you feel its money well spent,

and i mean if u buy somethin that u like but no1 else does, then more power to you, no matter what you do there will be some1 who doesnt like it.

good luck wit ur selection :D

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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...

      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?
