DECA is the noobie event. dont talk about it, just do it! watch those last minute pull outs..

there is normally a met at the servo 1.5 hours out from DECA. so you dont even need to know where you are going, just tag along in the group.

you forgot to mention its a great way to get off the streets n let of some steam for anybody ! practice day or just a excuse to take your weekender out for a slide, come out to a basic track day, get a license and listen to experienced people, learn more about your car, and yeh the drinking session afterwards can be lethal, don't have more then 2 fishbowl's unlike my mates do..........

i do agree with the just do it comment tho, it's fairly easy on tyres, but it's your choice and driving method for your clutch survival

is that possible ? nah when you pull it you have to wait for it to lock up, it does but yeh no nice handbrake turns i think the clutch will have more work ahead of :) i had a look over it for adjustment but then thought hydraulic :) and moved on to repairing more important things, like my sunroof, which is now a black outline bit with cracking bog oh well body work is low on agenda again

but with vdc day at winton the day afterwards, i think i need a steering stick ;) i dunno i haven't done any mods since the last august deca.....didn't even finnish off my car pc, iv'e had a blu ray burner sitting in my car for along time now and it doesn't get used. lol i must have been exceited when i bought that for it.

might have some time and money to throw at it again one day.

ENTRY FORM WILL BE UP TOMMOROW AFTERNOON.

Remember, Deca can sell out pretty quickly so dont wait around. Also, if you do miss the list still send us your entry and we will put you on the reserve list. There is often a number of people who pull out before the event.

hey just wondering, where can i find the entry form, plus how much is it to enter...and also do u need a helmet if you do, is it provided or do you have to bring your own?

Hey James you need your own Helmet. I picked up the entry level full face RJays one from Revolution Racegear for about $230 last time. They have some uber cheap open face ones at around $90 too.

oh ok, thanks for that. does it have to be a special type of race helmet, or would a motorbike helmet be suitable or even a motocross helm

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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?
