i can see your ultimate downfall "landscribble", you''ll sell your beast because of a woman and use the money for a deposit on a house and one day think to yourself, WTF happened, its gooooonneeee!!!! :yes:

not sure where that came from, haha but im afraid you may well be right :unsure:

Thats generally what happens when guys misplace their balls.

a woman convinces you selling the car is necessary, and may even drop a threat if u don't.. so you sell the shit to buy a house. Wow 10k closer to your deposit..

a while later you round up the remaining cash and buy the house, and you think to yourself... Gee I'd really love a skyline again. Well too bad. For starters ur Mrs knows she could make u sell it and that she can probably stop you buying too. That and the fact you now have a mortgage and are on struggle street, not to mention your Mrs now wants a child..

all the while you realise you could have just garaged the car and kept it for a rainy day.. coz you still want the thing and the 6k it was worth was only 6 months worth of saving anyway - but now you have a mortgage and will never buy another car again.

I hope this has been educational. Men cannot function without a productive hobby, and women need to realise this by being told. No hobby turns you into a waste of a person, always down and depressed. Don't do it.

get rid of the girl before you get rid of the car. Mark my words.

Great advice. Thinking about it now, being without my r33 for the past 2-3 months is starting to wind me up. Wouldnt be happy at all if i were asked to sell it! ( unless its to upgrade to a GTR, lol)

haha, this information should be like a skylinesaustralia commandment or somthing, thou shalt never sell thy skyline for a woman.

lets face it the baby can always go in the back, my boy has and he loves the "fast car" he calls it... :yes: stay strong people..

Never a truer word spoken...i kept all my cars..my mates sold all theres with the proviso that after getting a house they could

buy another. Well i have a house and still have 3 cars...they have a house, no testicles and no cars, and dreams of getting one

and there missus won't let them..lol..f**k that..if a chick does that shit, f**k them of before its to late..lol

I'd rather have a turbo car and redtube..lmao

cheers

darren

this is all golden advice! your car money will pretty much melt away for no significant gain & she will never make 'your allowance' form your pay enough to dream of getting anything, it's text book haha

That is the most insightful thing I have read on SAU in a long time :)

LOL FK yeah!

Honestly, imagine living without a constructive hobby like a modified car... What are you gonna do? Grow a garden? PLEASE.

Gotta agree with Scotty here

Without the car hobby all I would be doing in my spare time would be cleaning the house and gardening lol

Got a mortgage, getting married soon, and even if kids decide to pop out. The skyline will still be in the garage!

Still got the line after 10 years and I give the Missus an allowance for groceries etc

Like a baws!!

missis constantly kicks my arse for spending on mine.

then one day i snapped and laid every piece of make up out that she owns and priced it all at over 3 grand. non of it over a year old.

she hasnt said a word since.

You guys know how to handle your shiz.

Mine kicks my arse for spending while were trying to save for a house, but I don't mind so much because I want the house too. Admittedly we don't earn a lot and living expenses are up there. Lucky to save $500 a fortnight so its all warranted.

I have set out an agreement that money I earn working on dudes cars is my own personal cream I can use towards my own build. So its well sorted! She also well and truly understands the car is a vital element to maintaining my sanity. Got it sorted.

Be grateful she doesn't look like this....

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • 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.
