Hey all,

I just took my car out for a complete thrash as im not gonna have it for a few weeks while the whole thing gets fixed, my final quote came in at about 2600..... but i dont have to pay a cent, ill need to ask some one to back into me next time i want something resprayed... haha oh well.

Just wanted to say how good it is when its cold, i took my car down a street i know fairly well, flat change second (completely dry) and it steped out for a bit, on comes the shift light and bang into third and it stepped out again?? i couldnt believe it my car has never done that before... What are u guys greatest achievements when chagning into third in the dry?? Slip got to see the results of doing it at about 80-90 in the wet~!! haha that was fun.

Cheers

John

i never flat shift mine cos its too stressful on the gearbox driveshaft, clutch etc, best mines ever done was hang its tail out in 3rd gear with a full load of pasengers :) so it does give abit of power ! cold nights like tonite (may go for a drive hehe) have me doin awesome launches at lights, and POD filter sounds oh so lovely. In the wet i dont do nehting stupid cos i lose traction instantly 1st, 2nd and 3rd sumtimes!

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
