Aight this is hoefully the final version of me and my boot tails, Basically one day i decided that im going to do an overhaul of my car, and clean it out from head to toe, as i doubt its been washed in about 12 years..

So as i set about doing this i noticed a few bits and pieces and was interested in knowing what exactly they do, and what they are! ..

Well considering i dont have a workshop manual, dont have a wiring diagram ..and not knowing anyone with an r32 .. ive turned to you guys for help, and hopefully others can learn from these investigations too

Exhibit A

=======

boot1.JPG

1 - This is the box that activates the word "Skyline" inbetween your tail lights when your lights are turned on *Note: Not all skylines have this-

2 - Bracket That Holds your Jack

3 - The box for your Antenna

Exhibit B

======

boot2.JPG

1 - This is a hatch to your fuel tank

2 - This is the wiring that sends a fuel reading to your "Fuel Guage" on your dash (tells how much petrol is in the car)

3 - *** Unsure what this is but those wires lead to a box mounted on the otherside of the wall ***

Exhibit C

======

boot3.JPG

1 - Power Amplifer for the Car Speakers

2 - *** Unsure ***

3 - Right hand speaker that is mounted in your rear parcel tray

Ther Following photos are of "Exhibit C" .. please let me know if you know what they are?

? - Power Ampliifer for Car Speakers

X - I think this is the unit that controls the rear wiper

Z - Wiring that has been cut, anyone know what this is from/to?

Thanks for youe help, and please let me know if any information is incorrect

Amplifier is stock. Everything else is correct as well.

The extra wiring loom i would have a clue, but it looks like all the wires are cut going to it anyway. Perhaps the remnants of a sound system - cd stacker maybe?

Your car is the first r32 that i have seen that has a non-rusty plate thing near the fuel pump wiring. Or whatever that thing is in pic 2 under the number 2 item on the boot floor.

I looked at probably 8 r32s when looking for my car and all of them had this item rusty.

Heres somethign interesting.. i took a closer look at the small bunch of wires (Exhibit Z) and it appears most of the wires are cut except about two which lead to the second bunch of wires..

it looks like the white plug in Exhibit Z is ment to connect into the Power Amplifer.. but its not connected..

wonder why?, any idea?

Edit: is the power amplifer for the car speakers? or for the cars electonics?

Omg, that was like 10 times harder then a thaught just to get some damn night shots of my tail lights..

well after all that hardwork, it just wouldnt happen, just wouldnt come out clear for some reason.. this is the best i could come up with

actually i just took a second look, the pictures arnt even worth posting.. someone with a good digi cam will be able to get a shot off next week.,..

sorry

    • 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?
