today it rained so i tooked the hovercraft out. was doing some 360 spins on it in the park and who do i see out the corner of my eye?. haha so i took of into the water and acrross the sandflats. it's only bad if u get caught.

Hey guys this is bulshit I guess the cops should learn the australian general road rules. Here is a copy of the appropriate section im talking about, take note of the last point at the bottom.....

267 Exemptions from wearing seatbelts

(1) A person is exempt from wearing a seatbelt if:

(a) the person is exempt from wearing a seatbelt under

another law of this jurisdiction and is complying with the

conditions (if any) of the exemption; and

(B) if the person is a passenger in a motor vehicle with 2 or

more rows of seats and there is not another law of this

jurisdiction permitting the person to sit in the front row of

seats — the person is not in the front row of seats.

Note Motor vehicle is defined in the dictionary.

(2) A person in or on a motor vehicle is exempt from wearing a

seatbelt if:

(a) the person is engaged in the door-to-door delivery or

collection of goods, or in the collection of waste or

garbage, and is required to get in or out of the vehicle, or

on or off the vehicle, at frequent intervals; and

(B) the vehicle is not travelling over 25 kilometres per hour.

    • 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?
