Im posting this up for a mate that has organised a cruise in memory of a real good and close mate

Thanks 1st of all everyone for your patients as this cruise took long to plan then 1st thoughtdue to meeting points needing to be changed a couple times

As everyone knows Craig has pasted away back in January this year and I (along with his family) have been planning a cruise so everyone on the forum from NSW can cruise to Bathurst as a sign of the respect Craig has on the forum and reflect on the good time we had on cruises and on the net.

The cruise will be on the 30th of March 2008 to Bathurst

Bathurst was chosen as the destination because of all the cruises Craig has been on as a member of FL.com over the years this was a stand out favourite for him.

MEETING POINT:Hawkesbury Racecourse carpark, located off Richmond Rd/Hawkesbury Valley Way, Clarendon.

COST:$10 per car regaurdless how many people in each car.

PLEASE NOTE: there will food and drinks (BBQ) available at the top of the track, so bring your gold coins with you

Also, there will be a raffle held on the day with prizes (which will be announced as I get more info) to be won

MEETING TIME: 9am-9.30

DEPARTING TIME: 10am

ARRIVAL TIME @ BATHURST 11.50-12.15 depending on traffic (sitting on speed limit)

WHAT TO BRING: full tank of fuel, camera, 2 way (UHF) radio and $$ for entry to the cruise, the BBQ and the raffle.

    • 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?
