have you been watching out for those trees and light posts?

Every single one :rofl:

I dont even use the 1.2 bars often, how often you come up to a set of lights with someone worth draging lol once a fortnight? So im just cruising at 10Psi lol.

The GTST R33 im just about to buy has a GT 25/35 turbo on it running 1 bar boost and making 250rwkw. Its running on 1 bar boost all the time... Could this be too high for daily driving?? Should I invest in a dual stage boost controller??

You could do it, but its going to wear the engine a bit more if you're doing it all the time... There's no point to run 14 all the time, I'd def get a dual stage boost controller. I gotta GReddy Profec B... It actually gives me 3 settings of boost... Theres the Profec B turned off running stock 7 psi, Profec turned on, on Low setting 9psi, & high 12 psi... I use 7psi pretty much all the time, & turn it on to 12psi when im having some fun. So easy to use too... Just hit a button to give me 12psi & wholah... ready to kick some holden butt.

no. do you take it to 7grand daily driving?

i dont think so. so i wouldnt worry. Just crusing you'd barely be making that boost/power anyhow

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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?
