I tried timing once and lost to you reece by 1 sec on mornin course 2.. it has inspired me to use good rubber and try and do times in the champ series next year.. Im hopeful of winning now lol

My diff is having a heart attack after trying to drift on 265 semis lol.. time for a 2 way for texi next year..

Oh and reece, adrians clutch is dead now lol good work!! told ya s15's suck! 34 powa!

That sucks, I feel really bad now, It still felt really good on the last wet run I did. I'll give him a shout out and see if I can help

did 6 runs whole day and 4 of those with TCS on .. FML. But even so was lotsa fun, especially in the rain at the end when I finally figured out I had TCS on the whole time (great timing there)

Thanks to the bloke that told me I was riding my clutch and that it was smoking after the first run ... Ben I think ? Appreciate it mate .. if you hadn't spotted it I would've probably killed the clutch. I was so friggin lost because of the TCS that's probably why I was on the clutch constantly trying to change back to first as I was like WTF IS GOIN ON MAN NO POWAAAHH

anyone got vids of the battles when it started pouring down towards the end of battle 1 ? I had Anna smashed but started celebrating too early and fkd up my finish :ph34r: Some accomplishment there ..beating a girl in an MX5 ..and couldn't even do that right. :down:

hehehe... dont underestimate the mx5.... you just wait till i have some decent tyres and sway bars on the thing for next texi!!!!

lol MX5 FTW!!!! :down:

flickr ftw :)

Hey Kory, i've ordered a vid & pics from you & by the quality of the pic of my r33 (midnite purple white rims) on page 2 of the thread, glad i did. It looks awsome, I'm praying for some good video action as i have not seen the car move from the outside yet (First time at texi) & not long bought the car.

Looking forward to recieving my copy of your excellent work! :banana:

He can buy my old hd one if it fits

It was all the car Eric :D

Its good your car was so fast cause I was having to much fun sliding around after that. Apparently if I didn't stuff up the last part of the second course in the Evo, it would of had your car. Damn cheater evos. Also the times for the Chaser in the first course was 26.3 and in the Go-To-Whoa was 8.4.

Yes, I know I've still have much to learn as a Texi Padawan, but I can't help being a proud pappa.

Thanks mate :( Pretty sure Matt got some sweet shots of your car too, so you should have a bunch of great shots!

Just curious, but by the sound of your car, your running a big single aren't you? Maybe like a T51 or T04Z? Sounds friggin awesome!!

    • 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?
