Hi guys after much waiting I now finally have my R32 V-Spec 2 at home all safe and sound!

Car is in excellent condition and drives very well, There are few minor modifications but all in all quite standard.

There are however the following things that I am unsure of. If anyone knows what these little things mean please let me know.

1, Valley cover on the engine says "2.6 24v POWERED BY NISMO" on it. Standard colour and everything matching the cam covers.

2, Piping on the passenger side of the engine bay where it normally says "TWIN TURBO" now has the word PRIVILEGE on it.

3, Front duct in the bar says nismo in the center of it

4, There are braided lines running to what looks to be a transmision cooler (looks very standard)

If you have any idea what any of this means please let me know. No big deal just out of interest. Car goes very very well but still feels standard.

Thanks for your help.

Well done on finding a V-Spec II.

Hi guys after much waiting I now finally have my R32 V-Spec 2 at home all safe and sound!

Car is in excellent condition and drives very well, There are few minor modifications but all in all quite standard.

There are however the following things that I am unsure of. If anyone knows what these little things mean please let me know.

1, Valley cover on the engine says "2.6 24v POWERED BY NISMO" on it. Standard colour and everything matching the cam covers.

Could just be the an aftermarket cover the previous owner put on or NISMO in Japan may have tuned it... Any Nismo Build Plates bolted in the engine bay?

Pics would be great

2, Piping on the passenger side of the engine bay where it normally says "TWIN TURBO" now has the word PRIVILEGE on it.

First time I have hear of PRIVILEGE... A tuning garage in Japan, maybe..?

3, Front duct in the bar says nismo in the center of it

Nismo Front Bar?

4, There are braided lines running to what looks to be a transmision cooler (looks very standard)

Are the braided lines siliver in colour? Could have been up graded to braided lines / hoses as they are stronger...

If you have any idea what any of this means please let me know. No big deal just out of interest. Car goes very very well but still feels standard.

Also has nismo front and rear strut braces

Always good to have those.

Nismo Gauges and a few other bits and pieces

That's a nice Nismo upgrade.

So your car must have some nice Nismo upgrades here and there... Still post pics and let us have a look.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
