Oh siet, congrats you've moved from 80s tech to 00s tech.

You've seen the light, all us RB owners are still blinded by darkness.

(Better go mafless flex setup on stock ecu so you can run dose pipe, yes for the haters stock E9 ecu does flex, mafless, has launch and anti lag)

I really struggled to not buy an EvoX when I was buying the R, such a good package.

I think plenty of us realise the Evo is a better platform in many ways, but there is something special about a GTR still. Yea i realise that's subjective also, for me it was almost purely looks.

Thay said, I am toying with the idea of ditching my Silvia for an Evo track car...

Anyway, this car is going to be awesome.

Cbf scrolling back, when were you tracking it again?

Also I didn't realise a stock Evo ecu did flex, that's amazing.

You can't deny EVOs are light years ahead of the R32/33/34 in terms of performance.

They thought of twin scroll back in mid 90s, where as Nissan continued to use twin turbos which have been proven over and over again how inefficient it can be, imagine if Nissan ever released a factory twin scroll single turbo GT-R.

Because Nissan loves their open scroll turbos in twin forms so much they avoided the obvious twin scroll solution and made the VR38DETT motor LOL

Now that Nissan partially owns Mitsubishi.. I wonder if there will ever be an Evolution Skyline LOL

I don't think you can shit can an entire engine because of the turbos it uses.

I don't think any of us are under any illusions that there's much newer/better tech.

Had I went with my head, I'd have bought an Evo/M3 or a 35 maybe.

I think many of us buy older GT-Rs because the little boy inside us hasn't grown up yet.

I like Evo's, but I don't get a mental boner when I look at them, even a nicely done one. I still grin like an autistic kid when I pull the cover of my 34.

Who cares though, This thread is all about Evo 9 now, more boost plz :D

    • 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?
