Hey guys,

Whats up, nothing here. I was thinking about buying a Skyline but really havent researched them at all, heck you really dont even see them around here. What is a good car that I can get for say around 20000. Need some advice please. What is the conversion for horsepower to (whatever you guys use). Sorry not to intellegent. Thanks ahead of time.

Yeah, but dosent really fall into my area of interest. I perfer good cars, and not cars with a 25' exhaust tip!!:) My state is classless, hince no Skylines!! (not really classless plenty of ZO6's etc..) What type of skyline should I look into? I guess looking to spend somewheres around 20K

Im not sure of the way it works where you are. Are you looking at importing one from Japan??

If so get in contact with some local workshop's who are eligable to import and comply a car for you this will give you an idea of the cost's involved with the whole process then you can put together a budget, Then how much you can spend on the actual purchase price of the vehicle becomes more apparent.

1996-1997 Skyline R33 Series 2 , they have a differnt bodykit,wheels,turbo and interior is similar but better. that would be your best option since they would have low "miles;)"

i have a friend who is currently importing a R33 GT-R to the states from osaka .. do you have MSN Messenger so i can tell you more into importing cars into the states etc ?

    • 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?
