Someone broke into and tried to steal the Stagea early this morning.

Thieving bastards got NOTHING ... sucked in you f**king morons.

I take measures to ensure my ride is locked and secured and can't be stolen. I always keep all valuables in my house. Drivers window was getting replaced anyway, this is just making me get it sooner ... no skin off my nose.

Car has been photographed and fingerprinted by police. And 'yes' some prints were lifted.

Pray the cops get you before I do. I keep my "tools" closer to the bed at night now. :P

First accident on the bike then getting scammed by some fag in Melbourne now this wtf ey?

First one was my fault for trusting Council to keep the roads in a safe and well maintained manner.

Second and third were my fault to thinking the community had a majority of honest people. :D

I'm really learning not to trust mankind. :P

thats shit ruby, not cool at all

ill give you a :) hug at the cruise oh are you bringing you pretty girl this time?

Cool! I get a Bunny-hug! :devil: Tracy's flu has cleared up and she's feeling better, should see her out on Sat night. :blink:

I should also clarify that they broke into my S1 silver Stag, not my prized S2 black Stag. But I can't drive the black stag until the turbo swap is finished, and the silver Stag can't be driven far now due to no window. More of an inconvenience more than anything.

better change ya name to lucky :P glad thry did not get ya car a window is easy to fix

Window needed replacing anyway, so really no bother except I don't have the replacement window yet.

And I do consider myself "lucky", because the bastard when caught won't be so lucky.

Jenkies, thats an advantage of having cop friends. One of them is a forensic photographer. They'll ensure they do try to match it. It'll take about a week tho, its not like CSI where they do it in a matter of minutes.

Biggest pain in the arse of course was vacuuming all the broken glass.

I've also received a tip off from a neighbour. The finger is pointed at some people local in the 'hood.

Id take a TLR in blue :D

Like f**k you will :)

      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...

      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?
