Where abouts are you staying

if your here for the v8's east end would be best as its on the gates of the track

The Old Exchange (might be attending a little event there on the sunday night :whistling: )

Distill - more of a lounge, go play old school mario on snes whilst knocking back some vodka

Belgian Beer Cafe - already mentioned, sensational brews available but bring lots of $$ :cheers:

The Stag - will be over crowded as the bogan population of adelaide will be in there

If you want to see the sights and visit the emergency room at RAH you can go down Hindley St

The Old Exchange? f**k me. Never ever go there.

Ever since the new owners took it over, renamed it to that shit name (previously the Electric Light) they have ruined it. The Old Exchange? Sounds like I'm heading to a 1890's pub.

Went there the other week, bar manager gave me a 'tour' of their 'renovated' back room where they have literally destroyed it. Bar looks like it's made from pieces of wood found on the side of the road. She couldn't even turn on the lights since half of them weren't working. Crowd outside in the beer garden was full of feral bogans. 2 guys wearing Fubu shirts and wu-tang trackies. Rest of the crowd were f**king horrible.

That place is a f**king dump. The manager even admitted that the new owners "could barely afford to buy the place" let alone keep it half respectable.

Tap Inn is a quality pub. Sugar on a Friday/Saturday night on Rundle St is real quality. Older crowd (early 30's and up) and awesome house music. Most places on Rundle St are decent. Also the Union is pretty good, as is the top room there.

You can make your own judgement about Hindley street but it's pretty tame compared to other states around Australia.

plus one for the tap in. also maid and magpie on magil rd and the oriental great places for a feed. north adelaide also has a small selection of good pubs.

victor harbour down south is not bad for a drive and sights, and moana and glenelg beaches have some nice sights too :P

yes the tap in is under recievership, but still operating, the same people also own the bombay bicycle club and coopers ale house. tap in was never as popular as expected all welland good being packed all weekend but think of how much they put into the place.

is the tap in still open, i heard they went into recievership?

Spoke to a DJ who works there, they're bringing in $4 base spirits all night Friday and $12 jugs of spirits all night Saturday just recently... obviously to bring in more people.

Such a nice place but too far out from town. Was a novelty the first few times you go there. And they removed the put put on the roof :(

I hear Radelaide has lots of churches ey brah

yeah I hear that !!!!!, Rad is not the word ..lol

sellicks beach for a day on the sand is nice depending on the tide, weather. just watch for sharks if you go for a swim ,, they come in very very close. but so do the good fish if you cast a line out

just check out the race , if you can see any of it thru 3 layers of fencing,

book a tour at the coopers brewery. proceeds go to charity and only costs $20 or something and about $20 cab fare from the city unless you bus it. takes you for a tour round the site and after you try each of the beers - best to take a bus or cab home again but great fun!

but coz your down for the 500 Hutt street (in the city- they close it off for a street party) is fairly nice after the race to have a nice alfresco meal with some of the Barossa's finest reds.

Adelaide is a bad place to visit - but a great place to live

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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?
