Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply.

I see now why this has happened but due to no notification from any admin via pm it left me unsure what had occurred. There may have been something assumed here but to clarify situation here is a few facts.

Red R Racing is a registered business as of 24th of May, as you can appreciate all the parts listed are personal items and were purchased by us quite some time ago. The RB30 items belong to the VL berlina owned and registered in my name as well as the RB25 gear from my old GTS-t. The RB26 items are surplus 'twoogle' parts including the bottom end which was the engine i raced with several years ago that has been freshened as a spare. All the above were funded from our family budget and given our commitment to SAU and the skyline community over the years I would appreciate being able to sell these items on here. The bank account details provided in the thread i my own personal account and nothing associated with the new business. A donation to the forum from sale of items will be forwarded from the proceeds of the sale and will contact Nick/Ash to discuss setting up a trader account for all further business under the Red R Racing username once we have our ABN, accounts setup and begin trading.

thank you

    • 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?
