So Close But Not Close Enough......


Recommended Posts

There has been a lot of talk about Nissan having the GTR at the Ford Proving ground, Well I can tell you that today i have seen the GTR that Nissan Australia have for the motor show and i can tell you that its NOT this car that people have been seeing. It only arrived a few days ago in one big timber box that had written "Made in Japan" on it. Even though its locked away in a secure area, i managed to get a look at its ass end, and that was enough to make my day.

The frustrating thing was that i was working all day 2 meters away from it and the only thing stopping me from getting a good closer look at it was one big security roller door and concrete walls :miner:

I saw a dark one in the city, a 35gtr..... good god those things take up so much room..... i thought it didnt look so good, but in real life it makes you drool :D.... that old asian guy must be loaded like crazy....

but how come the car was registered? or were they fake plates....hmmmm

apparently there is some new loop hole that we don't know about yet. All will be revealed soon (keep checking the 35 GTR section)

whoever has contact with this car, send it to Final Inspection damn it!!! It surely needs a detail, and Damian is the only one worthy enough to work on one. Then i can go drool all over it

Troy, i think you must have got some paint in your eye or something, wash it out and then take a look at the GTR again :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?
