Well I wanted the sound of the induction noise and wanted something that looks standard as well. I also have a HKS High flow panel in there as well..

I can put some pics up on it on the car, thats only if anyone is interested..

This is the standard box and I cut out the front side panel and put some mesh in there instead.

The car seems to go harder but its prob just because its colder now...

sorry if im incorrect but haven't you just bypassed the filter having that big hole at the top? doesn't standard air flow come from the bottom and flow up though the filter.

Or is that thick mesh and therefore doesn't matter so much?

Yeah nah :P

Stock airbox top half is the intake side with the snorkel etc. Then you have the panel filter and bottom part with AFM on the outlet side. At least on GTT probably on GT too. GT-R is likely different.

Yeah thats right, The air on the GTT comes from the top, not sure of GTR either...

so by cutting up the top cover you're essentially allowing hot engine air to come in and not just cold outside air through the snorkel ? I seriously can't see the point of this. Then again maybe the air from the front section near the headlight isn't that hot

      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?
