and LOL at the giant Chevy badge car club coming up the mountain on the way down at the end. there where the 2 34 GTRs, me, pat and a black 34 behind me stopped at the hair pin letting them through and they all came round, saw us and booted it.

I counted 9 chevy badges from maybe 15-20 cars, I seriously don't understand why they do that.

ROFL

"

damo drives one of those japanese nissan commodores. it is a vl with a f**ken big turbo on it!!"

OMG Bahahahahahahahahahaha x 1000000 I hate commodores with chev badges and I am using a screwdriver to debadge them. LOL :woot: Thanks Ian

I agree terry a bigger gap between cars would work out better so you can capture each car for longer :)

he he, you said gap....

but srs, rb POWA, cars are too quick to get much of a shot anyway.

and finally my facebook album, pics i took plus all of my favourites from the ones i saw in here

friend me at will as im a facebook whore!

OK guys, I got the DVD from Terry today and have it all split up into the separate videos. There's ~500Mb of it to upload, so I'll probably do it tonight; I also couldn't be arsed deinterlacing, so deal with it. I'll try and make a "slideshow" or whatever in YouTube.

Basically, some camcorders record 50 frames a second, but only display 25. You know when you're watching some DVDs and there's sudden movement, and there's all lines across the screen? That's interlacing, and deinterlacing helps remove that :) Having gone over the videos though, it's not very noticeable at all because Terry's got steady hands :)

Oh I can re-run it through handbrake on the PC... faster than on the MBA I'd say.

Will get the deinterlace running after Mythbusters then upload overnight (it's Battlefield 3 night).

You Owens sound so ... Studious

    • 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?
