Hi,

I'm just starting me search for a Phase 2 RSFour RB25DET and I was wondering if their are any external differences between turbo and normally aspirated models?

The only reason I ask is many of the cars online are somewhat lacking in detail, which makes the search even more difficult.

Cheers

anything with a rsfour badge is turbo . the turbo morels always have the lower lip on front kit . some but not many na s have it . also the wheels . poverty pack hac povo 15 inch 5 spoke wheels . just look at the price . the front grill on turbo models is xxxxxx the non turbo ones have -------. . the only real feature that a turbo one will have and a non turbo not is the hole on front bumper for intercooler . but thid ids hidden by the front lip

Thanks for the tips, which will be very useful, although it would seem the RSFOURr badge doesn't automatically mean it's a Turbo. I've had a couple of responses from sellers of cars with these badges, where I've enquired if they were also RB25DET and they've actually been NA models. I believe the RSFOUR was offered as both turbo/NA, whilst RWD was also offered with turbo/NA engines.

Off to look at photos of grill's and bumpers....

Have a good look here at SAU there are a few members that are selling their cars and you can get a tidy example and do someone at favour at the same time.

Might be a little difficult to purchase from SAU as it appears the user is in the UK. lol

Yep, I'm in the UK and as much as I would like to help you guys out, I just don't think it's going to happen for obvious reasons. :D

      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?
