oh your that guy that turns up to the start of cruises but doesnt actually come on them?

and has a cool big F off camera im jelly of?

i want your space pants too..

Hahahaha..yep, that be me! Next cruise I'll go all the way...wait, that didn't come out right...

Nothing spesh about my hand-me-down, bought for $100 camera. Which reminds me I have still have photos from the last meet to post up.

And sorry Pat, only my wife has access to my spacepants. :whistling:

Why no SAU'ers around my area :(

Seen many 33 and 34's but don't think they care to join SAU

Born here, Viet & Ching Chong, 2165 :action-smiley-069:

Why don't they join SAU? they're too busy posing on JDMST lol

haha i have jdmst stickers on my 34 and im on here. do you drive a silver 33? should meet sometime :cheers:

JDMST - Buy an Auto Honda Jazz and put Recaro bucket seats in, extend Ray Lug nuts on stock wheels lol... No disrespect intended to real enthusiasts.

I drive a purple R33 LOL... I had a white one before with plates starting with YUM-xxx

LOL yeah. I see this silver 33 around all the time near my place thats why i had to ask :)

Ok this is going to be different...

Born in Taiwan, lived in HK till 7, be here in stralya ever since.

Reppin 2035... and yes, people look at me as if I'm about to do a drive-by cause my zorst is so loud haha!

Ah come with us to Penrith. A few skykines going and a mini jdm meet.

I'm scared of Penrith, especially the Panther's carpark.. went on a car cruise many many many years ago in my old 180SX. Got bogans calling it a sht box, telling me to go back home.

Funny they were in shtbox VL,VNs, and EA Fords.. good job.

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
