still got just over a month and a half Allan, hope all goes well!

Cheers So do I.

i hope i can make it but put it this way motor needs to be installed ecu + wiring then

have to run-in the gearbox , diff , clutch , motor, im thinking positive about making it there.

i reckon i can clock 5000k's in less than a month if i had too :P but if the car is ready and i am still in the run in stage/tune ill only be using half of its power

i haven't had my car for 10 months now so getting a bit inpatient good opportunity to see if any gremlins/bugg's seem to appear when i log all the info when driving.

if any one hasnt used ebc red stuff you should very good pads had been testing em great pads with the best brake fluid motul dot6 slotted/vented rotors braided lines front and rear

last year sometime going down main south road to second valley a roo jumped in front of me maybe about 10 to 12 mtrs away i was able to slam the brake pedal and stop in

time ive never pulled up so hard in my life scary moment but the point is they never faided even afta passing second valley that real winding bit makes ur brakes so hot give em a go

sorry about the story i am bored.

Your looking at quality here people good stuff chad i would prefer braided lines tho depends where you run the lines i guess.

Think i paid about $600 for my kit, no thermo though. Give Todd a call at Outlaws in the city he knows his shit about imports.

Changing oil filters is now a walk in the park :P

Thanks man :P I was after a quality cooler that would flow well. 26's with 300+kw at the track have a pretty bad rep with oil problems so I thought that I should spend the money on a good cooler. I just wrap extra rubber around any part of the hose that makes contact with metal to prevent the hose wearing through.

Boostworx installed my oil cooler for me (custom job), I provided a 2nd hand R34 drivers side GT-T kit I got pretty cheap (all earl's fittings and hose, 19row earls core and earl's filter relocator), a inline B&M thermostat and some extra speedflow fittings + hose for the thermostat. Shaun ordered some extra -10 braided hose and speedflow fittings (much cheaper than I could get them from Outlaw Speedshop) to facilitate running it from the passenger side (can't run on the drivers side because of the stock twin bov's).

If I had to do this again, I would choose the core I wanted, and relocator (with or without thermo instead is a better choice than using a inline thermostat because of the need for expensive speedflow bits to suit the inline jobbie), and just leave it up to Shaun to work out which fittings and how much hose he needs to mount it wherever, should work out alot cheaper and of higher quality than a jap kit (some of the higher tier kits just use Earl's bits anyway).

since i spent most of the August 25 trackday standing in the rain watching many of the guys drive around the track, i'd like to go out this time as a bit of a warmup before the Nov 23 trackday (Luke and i will launch that thread soon) with my V35 (or other car).

so please add me to the list if there's a spot available. i can pay now if needed.

    • 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?
