this one could have been abit shit (eg like most Porsche/evo drivers at targa on day one)

this may have been my second run

enthusiasm grater than skill

and this one is the classic, f**ked up a corner and tried to gain time back at the next corner and almost hit a wall

Fark some of those were very close calls.

Jebuz Fatz! You drive like a crazy man with no fear! Full credit sir :)

its a big country the best way to see it is flat out!

remember i came 18th the winner was 12 seconds faster than me ..... now thats fast

i recon i could knock off another 3-4 seconds just with rubber thats not on the belts

Remind me if i ever co drive to wear an adult nappy damn!

Favourite quote of the co driver - "COLD TIRES COLD TIRES!'

and "BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE!"

Looks like a great layout. I would love to enter my 32 next time round. :)

Well done Big man!

Nice work Fatz. Some great footage and I reckon you've done a sterling job of capturing the whole "stuck in a car with Fatz and no way to get out" experience. Seriously though, looks like you're having a lot of fun and going very quick.

I love the whole "f*kf*kf*kf*k" moment into the chicane. I remember saying exactly that as you slid gracefully along the side of the blue Camry halfway down a soaked Macquarie Pass once opon a time. Happy days!

top 3 were all group a rally cars

wrx won it( looked like a cat on redbull that had been shot in the arse by lightning when on the gas)

The WRX that won was apparently nothing too extreme. The driver is the same guy that built the two WRXs that won Targa in 2004 and 2007, so he knows a bit about setup and tuning. Helps that he can drive a little bit.

I would love to have a crack at this. I'll see if I can remember where I put my helmet hey?

Cheers n beers,

Gibbo

perhaps an Evo or Rexy would suit you better

Insane driving - GTRs are big heavy sons of bitches and rally courses will always be challenging for them

But after seeing your driving style you seem not to be afraid of bending that whale that takes balls.........big balls

I want to see more photage

    • 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?
