Tried searching and even googling but cant seem to find much info beyond here-say.

So i need to go to brighton le sands twice tonight around 6 then 9-10. I havent been there for about 2 years but i do remember there being alot of knobs and coppers defecting. Is it still like that? Gotten worse? Or settled down?

Any tips on streets to avoid would be good!

Cheers

Rob

Not so many defects, but alot of cops, stick right on the speed limit.. you should be right..

they only have maybe 3 cops doing circles at a night, however they now shut off the old prision parking lot..

still plenty of knobs

I'm a resident and i can tell you that if you do the right thing when you drive through, you should be fine... there are still a lot of idiots that come this way just to be hektik but the police know what to look for.

There will be, at that time, a police car at both ends of Bay St. in the hub of BLS.

The right turn on Grand Pde is closed off to deter the "happy lap" culture and three streets that are left turns from the left turn you are forced to take, are closed till 2am. If you want to get back through you'll have turn left AFTER the Shell.

You know about the foggies, and keep the DOOF to a minimum.

That is all.

it was ok i stayed off the main roads for the most part, chick i was picking up knew her way around and could navigate thank f&^k. :banana: did still see a few coppers when on main roads but nothing i couldnt avoid. god brighton is full of scum more than ever.

i dnt get pulled over that often there...if you stick to speed limit and not act like a dick then you're absoultely fine even if you've lot of mods..dnt rev your car unnecessary and be nice to cops if they do pull you over.. i was stopped yesterday arvo for RBT cop looked around told me nice car and let me go..remember to be nice to them since they come accross lot of dicks who ruin their day and you dnt wanna be a victim of their bad mood.

Mars - i seen you car heaps of times mate around 6 pm from rockdale to brighton..do you finish work around that time?

also be careful of unmarked police, i saw afew xr6 fords pulling over some cars just after bay st and after the airport tunnel. usualy bright coloured like orange, green etc.

i went through yesterdayafternoon and had afew coppers behind me, they didnt look twice, if you behave you have nothing to worry about

there after the hoons that fly down bay st to impress chicks with there cannon exhuast and there schick pod filter induction noises :D

I hate driving through Brighton. I usually try to stay away from it. I saw last night coppers everywhere around there (around 11pm) and 3 or 4 had stopped to pull over a yellow EVO right in the airport tunnel. I have been hassled a few times going through there but so far have been only "RBT'D" and been let off...

That's when I see him too but always on my bike so he doesn't see me. Psst, the other day when I saw him the car was dirty. Pass it on. Don't tell who told you.

i drive to brighton and through it almost everyday for the last 2 years, and i have only been pulled up once and that was the 1st day i went there lol, cop sat there for 5 minutes infront of my bar looking at my munber plate hidden inside the bar mouth, came back and let me off. havent been pulled up since, but guys be carefull on friday or sat nights they have rbts on the m5 bout a k out of the tunnel heading towards king georges rd, you will know this cause you will see as soon as you get out the tunnel the speed limit is dropped to 40km lol, do not take the first exit on your right whatever you do, there is a hwy patrol always sitting for defects, i did that 2 weeks ago and lucky some old corola was pulled over with bonnet up. kepp driving straight and sit behind a semi trailer lol if there is one around.

    • 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?
