Well my headers are finally here.

I chose not to have the mid pipe made up as this was going to be another 2 - 3 week wait as he did not have a jig to make it up and would have to get a Sentra in to do so.

I'll make it myself once i fit them up :)

Anyway, enjoy the photos.

Thanks mate!

So another little job will get scratched off the list this weekend.

The guys at Batteries Direct process orders really quickly, this was next day delivery!

This will be going in the boot to make way for my next surprise :)

Thanks dude. Lol it was never my intentions, to be in a magazine, though it might be something different to fully hectic uleh spec Pulsars. Actually speaking of that my old car was in HPI recently.

Here's a shit photo a mate of mine sent to me.

Well I made a bit of progress this afternoon, had an hour or so before the missus got home :P

I've got tomorrow off, so i should have it completed tomorrow afternoon.

I'm going to paint the bracket tomorrow also.

    • 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...

    • 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?
