well I can help you out for a start, I have to complete hub assemblies from an R33 that you can have for 250 for the pair (want to sell them together), i'm sure a few others will have some spare parts in there shed that they don;t want and you'll be on the road for under $1000 because once you have all the parts the rest is just bolts.

ok, but u did say control arms, hence why it was all over the place, especially considering S13's dont have upper control arms at the front, only at the rear.

and remember, S13's and R33's both have completely different front suspension.

Yeah that's fair enough, wasn't meaning to be rude!

But yeah R33's & S13's are completely different.

control arm most likely... mine is bent too from previous accident, wore out the tie rod end as if wasnt fixed in ages. im looking at fixing it atm, the wheel is a couple cm off and you can clearly see underneath the car if its much bent compared to the other side.

Seems like a simple enough job to replace, could probably do it at home, not in this weather tho... been putting the car off for a week now :S

That looks very similar to mine Bezender. The wheel is pushed back but not as close to the gaurd as yours. Well i'm taking my car into a place monday morning to get a second opinion so i got my fingers crossed. Wasn't expecting so many replies to this haha. This weather is f**ked im prob gonna just pay up if this quote is cheaper than the last, i need my car back so bad to get to work next week.

hmm nisskid if its the lower control arm its like 250 for a second hand one good luck getting out of it that cheap.

dunno who ur buying from but if ur paying anywhere near $250 ur getting ripped off big time.

saying that, i just remembered it is a R33 not a R32, and the R33 LCA's are in a bit more demand and cost a bit more, so might be a bit more but still no where near $250.

i still marvel at how people on SAU seem to get ripped off so much :P

    • 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?
