I play any type of paintball. carrum is a blend of both bush scrub and speedball. I dont wear armour for either. You'd be surprised by how much tactics is involved in speedball too Ash. Its not just spray the crappa out of the other end of the field. (although thats how some people see it)

James an A5 should be fairly easy to get hold of. just need a paintball license and a permit to acquire and your set. You'll need to be a club member to get a license though.

and as for the carnage.............

:P

Went to Ballan about a month or two ago, the guys that run it out there are champions.

Best part about it was the free-for-all at the end of the day though, although constant shots to the top of my head hurt :)

yeah i probably would enjoy it too... however you need a to spend a little initially (and buy all the gear) if you wanna do it a few times a year as its more viable that way.

We nearly formed a team, brought all the gear and so on to cut costs but then a few people moved interstate and the group that did it lost interest (moons ago).

And at present, i dont have any type of cash to allow more than one day a year really... :)

I'm all up for forming a team that will be cool an SAUVIC PB Team! yea! haha I still have my connections in the states so I'll follow them up see if I can get some here...man how is it that guys with no money to spare get into the most expensive hobbies?

      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?
