i usually look at the driver before giving a wave. If they look like they're the type to start some sh*t for "looking at them in the wrong way" then I usually move along. It's usually these people that give us Skyline drivers a bad name. :rolleyes: (Basically I wave at anyone over 30)

should start a skyline wave though... any ideas?

Yeah like when I had a Charger, other ownser always gave the V signal wave, V for Valliant.

Guess it is a bit hard to do a S for Skyline or a N for nissan.......

I think the old fasioned wave works for me, even if they look a bit scary I have found the first look I get is a really "I am gonna melt you down like butter in a microwave" but then I give them a big smile and a wave and usually get one back :)

pulled up next to a yello mr2 and just stared at him, big azn guy wit long hair. then he looked over and gave me a badd look. so i said nice car. and he smiled and replied the same. now i spot him once and again, and usally we say hello wit blow off valves :D

i love pulling up along side another skyline usally toot my aftermarket girly horn.

one day im gona pull up next to a expensive car to and say. "nice car!, wats the retail on one of those"? :)

I usually nod or give the thumbs up and sometimes wave, but not all at once :P

- but sometimes with dark tint on your or their car, you can't always tell if people can see you - or you cant actually see them properly etc...

In country Vic everyone used to wave at everyone but these days it doesnt happen much, they gone snobby now??? Or do they think I am cause of the car? Maybe they are just trying to grab my number plate :) lol

    • 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?
