hey all, tonight i felt like burning some rubber so i took the skyline out the bak of my house on the concrete slab for the first time, everytime i hooked a fast doughnut the car would stall, ive done burnout many many times before in my other car no problem but the skyline would stall, im not sure if it could be fuel surge but yeh, does this happen to any other people?

I HAVE NOW GOT A VIDEO of the skyline stalling when being whipped fast,

maybe it hasn't come on boost yet as your dumping in 2nd perhaps... or maybe it just aint coming oin boost soon enough for you, I find doughnuts arn't that easy from a standing start try a run up...

or maybe your other is a V8 which can do burnouts alot easier...

krispy kreme is the work of teh devil... its so good but i just want more, kinda like heroin i suppose lol

being a VL driver i can relate to wanting to rip 'nuts every now and then so i will give you a serious answer, how much fuel was in the tank, you probly starved the pick up when u flicked it around

HAHA @75 coupe..... try a run up LMAO,,,, thats hell funny, wat would u recogmend for a run up on a nut....

hit 100ks pull the hand brake spin out n then tramp it lol

this thread is awsome....

being a vl driver i can relate to u...... funny bastard, are u saying all us vl drivers are hoons lol

sounds as if this could be the case ^

i know with v8's with large carbs or to bigger carbs will do this because the fuel will swish up the side of the barrels in the carb causing it to stall when on the gas.

sometimes can happen in v8 cars (with big carbs) when stopping to fast or comming to a hault to quick at the lights... which sometimes results in a flushed looking face :P

get a bigger concrete slab out the back of your house.

haha its big enough mate, live on 8 acres of land with about an acre or concrete for the work viechles to park,

the car had over a quater tank of fuel but dunno, ill try again later

    • 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?
