Hi, most of you know, I have a black R33 GTR and I'm on RED Ps. I just got pulled over on the eastern bypass for a "random" breathliser. Blew 0.00, then the dickhead proceeded to tell me I had no P plates up. So I pointed to them and he says theyr illegal. I have white P plates with the P written in RED. Apparently this is illegal. Same goes for green. Has to be green plate and white P. As a result, I've been fined $100 for being "Provisional driver type 1A. Fail to display Red P plate (first 6 months)". Get a f@#$ing life, I AM DISPLAYING RED P PLATES, JUST LIKE THE ONES DPI GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PASS YOUR TEST!!

What was even more bs, was the senior officer came up and then started chatting about skylines, mentioning how his brother in law has a R34 and how I service it at XSpeed with Hanson cause I have a sticker there. FFS I HELL WANT TO TALK TO YOU WHILST YOUR JUNIOR OFFICER FINES ME!!!! Then the young f@#$wit asks to open my bonnet, so I do and the can't sticker me for anything cause my car is totally legal, bastards.

No, I have had previous cars. Mum gave me $2k for my first and I sold it and made a few dollars. Since then I been doing the same till I could afford one. Now I have one and only owe a small amount to my folks.

No, didn't loose any demerit points thankfully.

Enjoy it. I know I would. Be safe.

YO. 100 bucks a plate if ya don't have em up. no demerits. just fines.

the red plate with white lettering is what you have to display, as it lets pork know if you're on curfew or not. that's why they're illegal. DPI had a shortage of the new plates for a while (which is retarded. around northam when they came out, no one could get them, and as a result coppers stung shitloads of people).

advice: take it on the chin and get some aunger-brand electro-statics.

and shit goddamn dude, congrats on getting gt-r on ya p's. what area are you in?

You got off lightly...

I'd hate to see your blood pressure if they gave you a yellow sticker...

It comes with the territory of being on your provisional license, the cops will nit-pick you for anything they can... it's suppose to scare P-Platers straight, I'm not saying your a bad motorist, but that was their way of making sure you know not to test the law.

I speak from experience, I haven't been pulled over the last 2 years I've had my full license, but I still shit my pants when I see the police, hahaha :)

Yeah I jus got hit with my second of these fines, and there'r no demerits, for the people wondering.

Figure it's easier to just drive the folk's car without them than transfer the plates from car to car, since getting caught in your skyline without plates is big f**king trouble I imagine =D

Haha, it wasn't the fact I got angry that I'd been fined, its just what I was fined for. When I drove up to them and did the breathiliser etc, I was calm - knowing I didn't have any drinks and my car was totally legal... Man I've had other cops not mention a single thing about them too :S

Yeh that sucks man, stupid law.

Funny though haha, when i spotted you driving down the great eastern yesterday i actually thought to myself "he still has the white P-Plates, i wonder if he gets in trouble for that"

Probably going to just pay it, I looked it up and I am technically wrong. However, the copper told me they had been phased out for a year but I've only had my license for 5 months and in that time I bought numerous sets of P plates (for diff cars, cbf transferring) and some were white with red P and others red P white background.... How am I supposed to know :S I just bought whatever was available, usually from sevos and such.....

the plates have been like that since june last year (would be before you got your license if your still on reds) so theres really no excuse to still be driving around with white background plates. you were in the wrong and got fined for it, thats life

      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...

      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?
