I downloaded every "get this" podcast off the mmm website before they took it down so I could reminisce. If either of you guys want a copy let me know. I whack them on cd's every now and then for a long drive. Classic radio!

If you listen to the "long way home" Ed cavalie still uses jokes he developed with Tony M. Like the odd reference to Rex hunt, jeff fenech and upskirting at the tennis!

Thanks for the offer mate, I actually did the same thing and downloaded all the podcasts as well... Glad to see there are a few fans of the show here, radio is so boring during the day now.

If you find the radio boring during the day & are in front of a computer, why don't you stream a radio station.

I personally like www.kisw.com ("The Rock of Seattle"). Great tunes. Entertaining hosts etc.

If you can't stream, why not get a 160GB iPod, load it up and put it on shuffle... or put the Get This pod casts on it & listen throughout the day?

Great ideas thanks :spank: however I'm driving around in the car for 6 or so hours a day so that makes it a bit harder, plus the CD player in the Falcon isn't MP3 compatible so I can't burn a heap of podcasts onto the one cd etc... I do have the FM transmitter for my iPod but the radio just doesn't pick it up clearly :down:

Dont know how much any one else will like it, but i listen to the howard stern show, can download it from torrent sites, takes a bit of getting use to though as there are a lot of different people who make up the show, i have been listening for 3 years and there are still people popping up that i had never heard of before, after all, the has been running for 25 yrs in the states.

To be honest I hate that guy, I know why you listen to him but after living in the states for awhile you just start to see the seedy old man that he is

If you were a fan of Get This, you might find this sound clip amusing...

haha nice, that's very Tony Martin-esque :)

still waiting for him to come back on the airwaves. good to see Ed and Veronica Marsland have found other spots, but haven't heard anything from TM since the show ended :whoops:

I know what your saying and although it is called the howard stern show there is a lot more going on than just a 52 yr old derro, there is numerous other show staff and guests that come together to make up one very funny show at times, even just discussing news events usually have some sort of humour in it.

definitely not for everyone though, but it is for me.

      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?
