Your Godzilla scares everyone away. Haha nah I'll see how many are going to my lunch, not too.many I'll postpone it and.definitely.jump on your car for sure.

Jump on my car :O

Id prefer if you just sat in the passenger seat ;)

I'm surprised no one had suggested coming to some drift days at eastern creek...

Yeah it's a bit more to enter...about $100 but there is a wet pan that you can slide all day on and not chew up your tyres.

There is plenty of people drifting autos on the wet and I've gone to about 10 drift days now and I've never broken anything on the car....apart from tyres because now I've moved onto the dry track and love smoking it up.

Do a Google search for driving sports or driftmob for more info

the reason I didnt mention it was nearly every single one of those days I have seen, is on a week day.

most people work at least 5 days a week.

you also have to join their club and get a CAMS license IIRC.

just easier and cheaper to get your AASA, and pay the smaller fee for a club texi day.

it was also coming up a lot sooner.

just my views.

yeah your right, you do need your CAMS licence, but that only costs $50 and you can do it on the day.

Joining a club is optional, it just makes the drift days a little bit cheaper, and most of the time they are on friday nights or saturdays..

Dont need anything besides cloths, closed shoes and a street licence and $250. its on a wet skidpan so you wont burn to much rubber, they sit in the car with you and teach u, did it at the start of this year, will be going back with my GTR they let u cut sick great fun.

    • 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?
