if this is the burt i know from qgl boards, then he did own a skyline r33 gts-t, until he sold it to buy an r32 gtr (well thats what i heard), i have seen pics of his car and i must say its one of the nicest r33's i have ever seen, so i think you should retract your somewhat idiotic statement

zoix is 21 and owns 2 houses and his car

and ur saying a turbo r33 is only worth $15k?? plz tell me where ur looking cause im gettin one next year and im expecting to pay $17-$18k for mine

paragon is gettin an 32 gtr there was a mix up

everybody is entitled to their own opinion. If you're investing a great deal of money in a car whether it be a new car or an upgrade on an existing car, you need to make a careful decision.

what other people have to say about previous experiences with a mechanic or dealer can often be your best indicator about whether they are good value for money.

do what you want. if you make a poor decision you will get ripped off.

I personaly havn't had any experiences with F&F, but I have friends that have.

This thread sounds like a bitchy little school boy war of words so I shouldn't even waste my energy typing.

But for people who are genuine car enthusiasts and care about their car like I do... make careful decisions and be informed.

People there is no need to carry on the way that you all have been. These forums are not here for you to abuse the crap out of each other.

Please keep it civil.

Think of what a person of the general public would think if they read your posts....And then think of what they will think of SAU. We are not a bunch of silly little girls that want to call each other names and make accusations.

Once agian Please keep it civil

Thank You

Gary

    • 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?
