WERD, thats what I meant on the previous page by you live and learn :D

Half your luck..im doomed to repeat my mistakes for all eternity :Oops:

The best i have been able to muster from my car so far is mid 180rwkws at 8psi before i run into probs. Ive been meaning to get to Calder for about 8 weeks now to give my car a blast, was never too keen until i noticed 2rismo getting some good times with the Whiteline setup so thought id best give it a go.

I dont give a stuff what time i run as my 60ft is likely to be 2.5+seconds. As long as i have a good trap speed ill be happy as im interested more in how my car accelerate from 60 to 200km/h then from 0 to 180km/h :(

I have to say.... SAU has gotten very hostile lately... There is no more friendly rivalry, its taken a turn for the worse sad2.gif

Lets check the attitudes at the door eh?

How about we get the same tyres and send them over to each other

Paul as long as you fork out the $$ for the nittos and send em over to me after your done, as i am about to fork out alot of cash on some new 18's :D

On radials at Calder park is really pointless as that track is preped for sticky rubber if prepped at all.

I'll be running Street ET's, but not I'm not going to send them over to you:D I agree with the track preperation over here street tyres are a waste of time.

I'll try and post a time up soon, just need to replace the clutch and gearbox.

any ideas wat sort of time i'll able to run? i just got my car tuned and got 258rwkw. i also have a 50hp shot of nos. just got some slicks for my 18's but arent drag slicks but guess they have to be better then the 205 street tyres i used last time

    • 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?
