Mental commentary as it happened

Image 1 - Supra Coming in HOT

Image 2 - Supra Going faster than I'd expect

Image 3 - Supra loosing the back end

** Not shown - Me finally steped back and stoped taking photos cause I eventually realised the Supra was in a reversing B line for right where I was standing.

Image 4 - Supra ego hurt so driver took it out on the grass...

I was passenger with Jarrad and we were saying "Faaaaaarrrrk" and then shit started spraying so he reversed quick smart :/

I was quite confidant that the small concrete gutter would stop / drastically halter the process of a car entering the car park.I didn't want to take that chance though.

Unfortunately Ian, I can vouch for this first hand.

Hey next time come up and see one of the officials and we'll throw you a hi-vis vest so that you look all official like. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks Ian for the nice shot of the 33 getting some smoke :) surprisingly after a few smoke shows like that my POTENZA tires are still 75-80% tread still :) Cant wait for the next one :)

I need to remember it... It's either Hicass or hic45s or hic-45s or something...

EDIT... hicass

Thanks buddy! Like everyone else said, some top sliding shots in there mate. Well done

    • 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?
