waiting on a reply from cj motors off ns.

they say they have bride type rx rails in stock and genuine for 279 each.

so once i get a price for freight and confirmation of stock on hand ill be ordering a pair from them i think.

was gonna get the grizzly imports power rails. but they wont send me a pic of the actual rail just the generic pic they have online.

and its not the right rail so i dont trust em. rather pay the extra money for somethin i know will be the right stuff

so got laurel back from boostworx. didnt make the power i was hoping for but apparently there is a restriction believed to be my supposedly high flow cat..

its makes awesome mid range power (it made an extra 45kw through the mid range) on 15.5psi but drops down to about 13psi up top because of the restriction leading to a total figure of 174.3.

next step is decat pipe and some new coil packs as they show signs of arching out.

overal very happy with it now. drives a shit load better off boost and comes onto boost quicker and harder. :)

heres a pic of the dyno graph.

gap is set to 0.7 currently.

havent given it a full bootful yet. but from 4000rpm it really moves quite quickly up to 6000rpm and speedo starts tickin over quite quick haha.

at 3000rpm its makin about 8psi on full throttle in 3rd gear. but had to back off for traffic.

yeah but you gotta do what you gotta do.

if it turns out to be my car causing the issue ill get a new proper high flow cat.

it is good fun, but i want 200 haha.

bride rails rocked up today, i missed the courier though. will be ringing them tomorrow to see if i can get them delivered to work.

so i tried to organise to get the courier to deliver the rails to my work..... apparently this isnt possible because they dont have authority to do this.

even though i gave them my name address and the tracking number.

anyways i went and picked the up. 35min drive. each way. ohwells.

and finally installed!!

they are low. not excessively and seem to be on a sloping rail. the closer to the wheel you sit the higher it gets haha.

handy if any short people drive it i spose.

sorry bout the shit pictures. camera phone plus literally just finished bolting them in haha.

LOL yeah I'm in the US and they are everywhere here, I'm actually just gonna make my own so they can sit lower since I'm 6'7, not that hard to make.

I have a set from a friend but just haven't gotten around to mocking them up yet.

The stock seat are pretty comfy so far so they are just on the back burner while I take care of the other things on my list.

Thanks for the look out anyway!

    • 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?
