Hi everyone,

My girlfriend bought me a Turbosmart Dual Stage Boost Controller for my birthday. She thought since I speak about my car so much and is jealous that I love my 33 more than her lol that she'd go to autobarn and buy me it.

However, I have an eboost street and she said she bought it coz I was talking about a boost controller the other night with my old man. If she had of listened better I was talking to him about upping the boost once the car is run in.lol

I cannot return it as the dick from the shop (will not name store for privacy, etc)will not return it as she has lost the receipt. It is brand new and in the box, still has bubble wrap on it.

Will only accept COD or you can come pick up, etc.

She paid $279 for it, however, I will be happy with $250. I think this is a fair price considering they average $265 on eBay and you have to pay postage on top as well.

Please PM me if you're interested.

Thank you very much.

Hey guys, only received one PM so far :-(

I'm open to more realistic offers. If anyone is interested or knows of someone who wants one please let me know as I don't have use for it as I've already got the eboost street.

Thanks

No one genuinely interested? Have had a few PMs but just tyre kickers. I am willing to bring it to you at no extra cost and am genuinely selling i don't want to waste anyone's time or money. It's brand new and not like the others that have been posted up here that are second hand and have been put too close to the engine and almost melted. My one still has the bubble wrap on it and I have not even taken it out of the box when the missus bought it for me.

I would prefer to have someone actually use it and it's a good deal. These are $299 on Just Japs website. My girl paid $279 and I want $250ono which is not bad. Come on guys help me out please.

Hey man, I tried that already. I went to the exact store she bought it from and they basically said it is against their policy as without receipt they cannot put it back through their system. I think it's stupid as the mrs bought it from that exact store and sales person! I have not even taken it out of the box. I'm a bit upset about it actually coz I already have the eboost street so what a waste. Not even gona bother with eBay. Thought someone has to know someone who would want it for sure on such a large networking website as SAU. Oh well maybe someone will buy it. Like I said, I don't mind the drive to bring it to whoever wants to buy it and I'll even help them set it up with wiring and solenoid placement/fitment, etc.

Thanks for your reply. Hope you can sell yours too.

Hey guys,

thanks for your PMs. A few people have been asking for photos so I thought I'd upload one so everyone can have a look. It still has all the packaging still on it and everything is untouched.

Thanks

It's brand new man. Seriously i only took it out of the box to take the photo coz another guy asked. My mrs got it for me for a present man, she feels like shit that she lost the receipt. If it was used then fair enough. Thanks for asking.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
