The in car footage of the 7:27 lap in news shows exactly the same style... So much for smooth driving... Seems incredible to get away with this on tarmac, I am not sure I am that violent on dirt...

the nurburgring is in some ways a bit unique though. for one thing the surface there is very bad which may contribute. and it has some unique types of corner too.

If you factor in the speed he is carrying on this run then it all looks pretty normal to me.He's not going down the shops or to pick up the kids,just how fast is 7 grand in 5th then about 6200 in 6.Think about it,at that speed it's all happening pretty quickly so the steering input has to match the speed.Watch any pro motor sport incar and its all the same.I think that incar is absolutely stunning and have a look at the time he achieved.And also notice how only at the infamously rough Karousel(spellcheck) and maybe two other times he moves his hand position on the wheel and has another grab at it.That driving style is why he does what he does for a living and we do what we do .

Having driven AWD soobies on tracks for the past 9 years I've found that an AWD requires a significantly different technique to RWD cars primarily because of the inherent bias towards understeer. Main differences Ive found are that in an AWD:

1. Trail braking can help get the back sliding on entrance to the corner helping the car point better towards the apex.

2. A "jerk" on the wheel sometimes has to be used to unsettle the rear end so that the car starts to slide allowing you to straighten the wheel and "drift" into the corner again helping it to take the pressure off the front tyres and allow it to turn in.

3. Oversteer can sometimes be corrected by actually putting the boot in and pulling the car straight. (Complete opposite of what youd do with a RWD)

4. A RWDs rear tyre slip angle can be controlled easily by putting more power on or removing it. This is not possible in Subarus, (especially the ones without the electronicdiff), but may be possible with the GT-Rs RWD bias.

5. U can use lift off oversteer tendencies as a tool in certain tight esses to help set the car up for subsequent sudden changes in direction. (Same principle as in 1 above).

haven't taken the R-35 out yet so Its a whole new learning curve....

haha I think duncan has come quite a way....including outright win in the NSW Supersprint champs 2009. Second outright in today's round too (behind a v8 radical lol) with a 1.41.08 which is super fast in a car with only light mods.

      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?
