big boo boo happend to my car today :)( ...am devastated.

was going down a basement carpark ramp and scraped slightly on the undercarriage.

then on the way out ...i attempted the same ramp at an angle...got stuck and the rear wheels started to spin and I could hear this god awful scrape and thud.

being the idiot i am..managed to get the car in reverse and attempted the ramp again ....same deal...even tried it with some drain grills which i removed and made a platform to jack the rear a bit...car was too heavy and the steel grills didnt hold.

anyway short story....i scraped my undercarriage and the tar like stuff was scraped exposing some bare metal...also bent the metal cover on the cat. thankfully it didnt dent the chassis or any other body parts

my q is.....what is that tar like stuff on the chassis and where can i get some??? is it sold in a spray can or can i brush apply the stuff??

am really worried that the metal might rust if i leave it exposed too long.

sorry guys...i know it sounds lame...but i really like to keep my car in immac cond.

sound proofing ....the RAC guy said it prolly was rust guard and since i work at the beach didnt want the undercarriage rusting. anyway thanks for the advice Paul I'll go to repcos 2morrow and get the stuff.

      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?
