Any mobile phone towers near by?

Your own mobile? Dodgy?

Telephone box on the corner?

Power lines, transformer?

Gas leak coming from drain?

You break without clutching almost stalling coz ur in a hurry to get past ur ex gf house?

Dodgy electrical equipment in someones front yard? ...last years xmas display was dodgy?

Any suspicious vans with blacked out windows that have "Pizza Delivery" on the side and a big mofo satellite dish on top omitting an electro magnetic pulse as u come close?

:D

Your own mobile? Dodgy? No love..its happened over the eyar and in that time i've had 3 diff mobiles.

Telephone box on the corner? Nup lil suburban st

Power lines, transformer? There is both of these but why not anywhere else

Gas leak coming from drain? What would this do??

You break without clutching almost stalling coz ur in a hurry to get past ur ex gf house? Naa if I was going past her house it would be with tyres blazing and smoke filling the street *lol*

Dodgy electrical equipment in someones front yard? ...last years xmas display was dodgy? Not that I can see

Any suspicious vans with blacked out windows that have "Pizza Delivery" on the side and a big mofo satellite dish on top omitting an electro magnetic pulse as u come close? mmm ill have to check on this one..

:D

Also up near me in the dandedongs at sky high is like a second lookout that has a massive phone tower near it.. my mates r33 won't alarm when he is up there however mine does.. so i guess this rules a similar thing out..

...They could be dodgy omitting some level electromagnetic field. I know of a non-car related problem where an electrical cable was crossed over a data cable bringing down the whole system.

....Maybe entering the intake stuffing the a/f ratio? Or doing something to the afm?

....Actually it may be so. Maybe ur alarm re-acts to other phone towers that his won't and vice versa? Maybe there's one a block away that you cant see?

Alternater, get it checked see how much it charges, maybe its playing up on ya, do u do a hard turn and it happens????? could be alternater not charging batter properly so u do hard turns where power steering uses allot of enerygy and u got ur headlights on and causes a problems( im just blambling what it could be dunno really not a genius lolz) , if it is a spirit i suggest u see a priest to bless your car,

    • 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?
