act seems weird :D

all they did for mine was eng/vin number check, made sure there was no oil leaks, did a brakes test, wheelbase check, lights test and told me that i should prob remove my ebc cos cops dont like them ;)

none of this "wheres ur owners manual stuff... weird

btw i thought 4 seaters arent allowed to have baby capsule restraints?

I just called the Registry and spoke to a young lady.

She was very helpful. Informed me that I DO NOT need to go over Dickson. Any authorised inspection station is fine.

This was because the vehicle has been australian complianced and registered in another state already.

She was quite clear about it.

I wonder if it has something to do with the vehicle being more the 10 years old??

Interesting that you all had to go over Dickson.

Ahh just checked the rego site (http://www.rego.act.gov.au) and they have removed the condition for all imports to go over dickson.

Sorry for giving you wrong information, a few months back it had to be taken over dickson, and also specified it on the above mentioned website.

Right...

So does that mean that even an imported car which has been in australia and registered in say NSW for a few years still requires to go into Dickson for a rego check??

I just purchased an R33 so I'm keen to get rego in the ACT.

Paul

They have taken out the condition that imports must go over dickson, but

any car that has never been rego'd in the A.C.T before must go over dickson for an ID Check before it can be transfered to A.C.T rego.

damn i guess we timed it badly nick?

for those that dont know i registered mine in the ACT about 2months after nicks and i got screwed around bigtime in regard to not knowing where to go. in the end they were ok with me at dickson, a young guy dave who works there was simply wonderfull to deal with.

but its much more helpfull to be able go to a mechanic and have it checked, and 1st things 1st i'd like to recomend ed out at integra automotive in queenbeyan. as many of the guys will agree (esp nick and ewan) he's a great guy, a great mechanic, and it would be a very good idea for you to have him do the inspec for you.

what we need is a real skyline owner's manual. something that contains more info than the stock bits of rubbish people seem to be getting. something people can download off a site, print it off, bind it and keep in their glove box.

my manual isn't bad, fairly detailed. the pix are a bit rubbish though (photocopy of a photocopy). probably wouldn't be that tough to collate some of the stuff on this forum into a proper manual.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      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...

      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.
