Silly me forgot to post. I have seen a Silver V36 on the M4 few weeks ago. and another coupe (light Champagne colour) two weeks ago inside Japlink Motors with its front bumber being removed, had nice chrome rims with blue centre, running Toyo tyres I think. Thing had more plugs than a lego set -and that was just the front Bumper. !! Seem to be mostly silver, ones around. I have seen the graphite one months back. I think that was a dealer car. Obviously a more sophisticated engine /electronics/trim in the 36 -Personally prefer the proportion of the v35 specially the rear.

Rianto- all I seen is coupes even in the dealers. Havent seen a single sedan yet

Spotted a nice red Coupe on Rocky Point Road (Sandringham???) in Sydney.

Infinity badged with US G35 tail lights and stock wheels. Very, very dark windows. Anyone here?

That would be me :nyaanyaa:

Believe it or not, the tail lights are stock JDM... gotta love Series 3's :)

What were you driving, i've spotted the odd 35 around down south, but dont know who's who.

Are they really?? S3, they look very nice man.

I'm from Melbourne, just here in Sydney for work for a few days. I was in a taxi heading to Cronulla, next to you stuck in traffic because of the overturned truck that spilled sand all over d road, did u see it??

Ahhh so it was today?? In that case it would ave been the Mrs heading home from the lab.

Yeah i had no idea bout the accident, but i just rang her and asked her... sounds pretty full on. She said ot seemed like the truck almost managed to flip the trailer.

Well welcome to sydney, you've been pretty lucky spotting a 35 down south, theres only about 4 or so that i know of who pop up from time to time, and i'm not sure if any of them are members here.

yeah the car used to belong to an importer down this way. He bought it in with bugger all Km's and i picked it up of him about 6 months ago with about 17k km on it. 2006 model too.

Only down side is its auto.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I've had mine for about 7 months now and it has been a fantastic car, but it's an auto!!!

Yeah I think the truck must have taken that tight corner there a bit too quick, it is one of those trucks that have the extra trainer on it, double semi's so it's a big vehicle. The trailer flipped over but the truck did not, luckily.

I've done well then to spot one down here because it is a nice example of a V35, like mine with the Inifiti grille badge :(

gee you guys just won't learn do you?

stop saying auto = 'down side'

it's actually an up-side as it's a breeze to cruise in traffic jam, and it's fun to drive in tiptronic mode...

most exotics euro supercars these days have ditched the conventional manual.

the V36 auto now have paddle shift.

auto is an up side

for cruising through traffic yes its a perk, for fine car control, not so good.

even in triptronic mode the car shifts when it wants to, it just waits for you to tell it when to start thinking about it.

no shift lock, no heel toe or rev on change to effect weight shift.... its not all good news.

that said... its comfy, it has grunt, and people keep trying to figure out what the hell it is cos i've got no badges... so its kinda cool

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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...

      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?
