I once heard someone (uneducated Skyline owner) refer to Stageas as "boats". At the time I thought this was mildly offensive :angry: but reading this I'm not so sure. Boats being holes in the water that you throw money into, so they say. :devil:

Keep it in wagon mode Darrin, & enjoy.

Cheers GW

I have a new bussiness growing fast which will require me to get really big shed/warehouse.

My company will need a "ute" and I have this little plan to maybe build one and I can "get" away with doing it not at home (wife :rant: )

It would be good to have the wagon and a replica ute in same style and colour for advertiseing etc. This is the long term plan. Good to have a dream.

My brother in law (panel beater) owes me 8 weekends work I just put in helping him repair and I painted an EH wagon for thier wedding.

You've probably seen the pics of utes that are floating around. Just have to find room for the Atessa reservoir (on the right) and the attessa ecu (in the left) and reroute all the wiring - definitely do-able!!

could just leave the reservoir where it is and have a panel in side of the tray, or of course rip it out and just make it 2wd = more fun :whistling:

Ive been looking into it for a while darrin. Qld transport said because of the complexity of the modifications that ud need to build 2 of them and crash 1 for safety tests. But there is other ppl that say other wise. What have u found so far??

    • 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?
