The christmas, new-years period has proven to be very painful to my wallet...my once perfect driving record is now...well...f***ed

All I want to know is when I start getting points back on my licence... and how many I get back etc. :)

I only have 5 left... :Oops:

I wouldn't worry about it too much.. with the state of enforcement at the moment its very hard to hold onto points, and 3 years is too long. Just drive as normal - once you lose the licence just catch public transport for 3 months :) Get all your points back, rince and repeat.

Oh and do I have to inform my insurance company when I get a fine...I have full comprehensive with 'Just Cars' (AAMI's youth extorsion program)

If I don't inform them can they refuse to pay out in the case of an accident?

...and forgot about insuring any decent car again in your life...

Shrug.. I've had countless speeding fines and never had an at-fault insurance claim. Its all b.s. They still will insure you, there is a 3 year period or something after which they can't count loss of licence or anything in your assessment.

NickR33: maybe

The points you earned at the time of that offence expire 3 years from the offence.

If you get more points, those new points expire 3 year from the date of that offence.

The points you have now expire in 3 years irrespective of what other offences you commit after getting them.

Thanks guys...

      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?
