Why is it that when someone asks for opinions, and gets them, everyone has a cry about it?

If you want people to post telling you how good your car looks, then state that. Don't ask for opinions if you can't handle the fact that some people aren't going to like it.

Don't worry about it mate, there's plenty of characters on here... I am sure in time you'll meet them all.

GTST wasn't all negative, just take the good with the bad, we're not all gonna like it and some people will come off harsher than others, especially since it's a forum on the intartubes.

There's a wealth of knowledge on here so don't get scared off.

Cheers.

Edit: I always thought about going a black roof with carbon boot and bonnet on a white car, but I can never decide where to stop the paint on the pillars. Hence the roof is staying white.

Oh ninja edit for the loss. Should have quoted you... now I look like a tool! Dezz was all negative... lol, but he is entitled to his opinion as well.

I said 'I think it looks ridiculous.'

How is that carrying on?

Again, if you can't deal with the fact that not everyone is going to like it, don't ask for opinions.

Yup21t you dont have to keep appologising trying to make everyone happy, people are assholes

the quicker you realize the fact the better off you will be.

Personally i think your paint job looks wicked you did a good job

that would look good too i was going to marble it but always wanted a 2 tone car

Hey, you've got a skill - and it's part of your trade...

Have you ever thought of advertising that skill on your machine?

If you have your own business in this field and advertise it on your car, the improvements that you make on the wheels will be tax deductible !!

Keep right on going. And remember, only half a % in this world are fashion-setters. the other 99.5% are fashion-followers.

Cheers, Terry

Looks hot dude, I would do bling wheels with that paint, would look awesome.

Also I'd either smoke or remove those indicators...

With so many skyline around these days good to see something original, wouldn't do it to my car but still appreciate it.

Plus the new paint should give you a few more KW at the wheels........

    • 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?
