Hey peeps iv got a 03 premium coupe with the Bose leather seats and tv nav stock 17" and pretty much stock everything with 41000 kms on it anyways it's an semi auto and I'm pondering trading it for a manual premium with a sunroof 03 or 04 model just wondering how much i would putting cash kn top of my car to do this trade? Say the manual has around 40-60k kms on it, same colour or maybe even the pearl white, cheers.

hey mate - this is almost impossible to answer because it largely comes down to finding someone who is willing to do the swap. given that they're going to lose about $1K of this difference anyway just by having to go through the RWC, transfer and stamp duty process - it reduces the benefit to them. I would have thought like for like should be about a $5K difference. Sunroof add $1K or so as they're pretty rare and desirable. colour and mods etc will also add (especially if yours is silver and completely stock). If you can find someone who'd swap like for like and you're only out of pocket $4K for the car, PLUS you really want a manual, PLUS your on road costs (est $1000) then you'd be doing well. every man and his dog has a stock silver 350GT premium auto (well, not quite), so it's not a strong bargaining position.

    • 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?
