i think it was possible a couple years ago but what happened was people just took a stack of forms and voted for themselves 100's of times haha.

Opening does depend on city of melb. But maybe a 930-1130 opening next year.

Having cars moving around while the general public are walking around is tried to be kept minimal.

In saying that you will always get people coming late.

It's a great location, but i'm just wondering if the event is going to be held back by having a narrow opening window on a Sunday morning. Pros and cons, but maybe we can try something else next year that allows some of the stragglers to turn up? I know the entry time was more than communicated but we all know it's going to happen, and if the net result is having a bigger and better event, then maybe it's worth allowing a bit more for those that can't get up early enough?

Would definitely increase turnout, trouble is finding a location that will let you do it. I think Waterfront City were pretty strict on their move in and move out times, because they don't want it to interfere with walking traffic too much. Hopefully next year the events guys get started on organisation a bit earlier and it will give them some room as far as possible locations...if you can find a good one though, let them know!

i think passers by should be able to vote..

Agreed, just need some way to control it, for as Pat said some people just vote for themselves lol. And members of the public probably wouldn't want to fill out 10 classes with votes. Maybe have a "crowd pleaser" class where randoms can vote on their favourite overall?

I think the location is very good.

Docklands as a decent setup.

Yeh fare point. I wonder if waterfront city have another location. I think the premo spots we will need to pay for

Hey John I didn't get a chance to chat to you on the weekend, didn't know you are from the peninsula, where abouts? My fams place is near Flinders.

And Birds crowd pleaser class would be awesome. Is there a problem with people voting for themselves if someone hands out the voting cards instead? Therefore no one can get doubles?

Its a tough one and no easy way around the voting but maybe its a decision which is to be left up to the club execs (similar to other car shows) otherwise people are always going to vote for themsleves and their friends.

Just another option.

The NUR with plates INURI belongs to my mate... We tried to get his car in the event but it was closed lol

I see,

Would have been great to see it enter.

Any chance your friend bought that car from one of the owners of JAKS Motorsports (Alex)?

      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...

      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?
