yeah pretty much on the money there stevie.

As Ruby said earlier the 1st mistake was to lie to the guy. Cop can look in your car in a public place without a warrant if you give him reason to believe you're carrying contraband or a weapon or if you appear to be hiding something (hence the lie)

yeah fair enough i shuoldnt have lied but the main reason he pulled me over was coz of the exhaust being 2 loud so no matter what i was gonna definetly going 2 get a defect, how long is the wait 2 get in2 regency these days??? coz i go overseas for a month in november so i wanna get it sorted before then if it aint gonna cost me shitloads.........

guess im riding my pushbike 2 work 2morrow, thank god its fully carbon fibre and super light n quick

dan might be a wise decision to get my laptop onto your power fc and save your tune mate, just incase...even tho it'll stay on there..just incase something happens.

yeah good idea Ryan, that was a bloody good tune u guys did, could feel the difference when i left satdee, boost came on quicker pity i didnt hav time 2 enjoy it :P

Luke the rim size is wat i also got done 4 so ill need 18" or smaller on all the time untill i pass, i got sum stokies at home ill just throw sum cheap retreads on them

Lock your glovebox and claim you lost the key for it!

A cop once accused me of lying when he said to me my boost gauge was a "rev tacho" and I said "That's a boost gauge" and he said "You better not be lying to me".

And to be honest, I got pulled over in my old 323 once which had a B6T engine conversion. The cop said "Do you have a blow-off valve under that bonnet?" and I said "No officer" and he said "Okay. Have a good night" and left... but I infact did have one :( but it's sprayed Black and under a heap of piping, so he wouldn't of found it.

If you can lie your way out of a defect, why not? Sure, it's being dishonest and all... but if it saves you a defect, then why not?

*waits for the flaming to begin*

Riiiiight. The ignition key locks and unlocks the glovebox Einstein. Didn't think that one thru.

Here comes the flaming ...

Good on you mate. Go set a good example for all Skyline drivers. :(

    • 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?
