thats ironic, cause pretty much the only reason i dont like the S1 is cause of the front bar. i think its even got to the stage where i see a stock S1 and cringe at the sight of its front end.

as for the wings, i dont really mind the S1 wing cause its more subtle.

No, not 'ironic' my friend..............just subjective (ie.your very own opinion/taste). I too cringe when I see a beautiful 33line with the S2 'lego' front end!!! Go figure.

And....like yourself, me thinks the S1 tail is quite lovely, for a stocker!!!!!!!!!

:P

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one. It was the main reason why I sought out the '95 model - series 1 front bar and interior (mm.. velour), series 2 goodies (ECU, titanium boot badge, erm, that's about it)

I have said this before... I absolutely hate the S2 standard front end. The angular grille with the four big round lights... how did they manage to meld the square front end to the round rear?

It does look better in dark colours with a lip though.

Be that as it may, I think Brett's car always looked good ("BU5TER").

The grille and the Trust front bar, GT-R body pieces. The 'integration' in body design is back.

I am no fan of velour but whatever... the car interior is a nice place and I can't complain.

well styling is very subjective....

some ppl prefer S2 front end yet some prefer S1. I like them both.

guess the squarish S2 front end is balanced by the squarish S2 rear spoiler... compared to the S1 curved rear spoiler. interior wise i prefer the look & material of S1 seat and dash, but prefer the S2 airbag steering wheel. exterior wise I like both S1 & S2 front end but only the S1 rear spoiler (curved one).

    • 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?
