I'm out of this post I don't believe that there is anyone out there that hasn't knowingly exceeded trhe speed limit.

I further don't believe that anyone who drinks hasn'y knowingly driven when they're over the limit.

I posted the warning for the benefit of other members not the good of my health.

I have no interest in reading sanctimonious hypocritical bullshit.

I won't bother another time.

:D

okay cool. just keep it under the speed limit and "if you drink and drive, your a bloody idiot".

Oh and just so you can keep your cool, refer to my recent thread of speed cameras on the QLD section, just as a suggestion for next time you would like to be a good Samaritan, the way I know you originally intended. <-- In other words I think you did a top job in providing the information but admitting that speeding is okay - not cool. =)

Until it actually affects them and their loved ones I'm sure they have as many excuses as it takes. If the answer to "why were you speeding?" is anything other than "because I was being a dickhead" then it's the wrong answer.

what about "trying to get home before the hail storm hits and i live 10km out of town"? no? didn't work on the cop either, although it was true. ended up starting to hail as i drove up our road (about 500m from home)

it sucks, but it's one of the dangers of owning a car. I know some people that work in heavy hail areas who have special hail covers they ALWAYS keep in their boot. Take up about as much space as a tarpaulin. Bit like the time I got in trouble for trying to get out of the rain when I had to roof down.

lol same thread different place. speeding is silly, everyones done it. its when your not aware thats when it gets dangerous...

seeing peeps get pinged everyday on fixed cameras. or doing 90 in 100 zones then still doing 90 thru the 60-90 zones after just shows how little attention theyre paying to the road ahead. 90% of drivers suck these days cause they aint watching the road. not cause theyre doing 5-10 over the limit (although 25over is a bit much, and the penalties are harsh to suit)

      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?
