anyone know of any workshop that might have one of those bore-o-scope or the likes to look down the guts of an rb25, to check cyclinders, pistons etc. just like to get the internal parts checked out, is this the right thing to do, or does anyone have any other suggestions. i'm no mechanic, so sorry if this question sound so dumb.

thanks inadvance

Do you mean "Endoscope" they are fragile and very expensive equipment to have for looking into the engine. I doubt any work shop would buy that unless.... I hear Porche and BMW dealerships have them.

 

or you can visit to local VET :)

lol yea thats exactly wat i meant. mmm might try engine recon places see if they have one.

oh yea one other thing, how can u test your fuel pump? (another stup*d question) just wanna know its not on its way out.

thanx again.

fuel pump test can be done on a dyno run :D

yea thats an idea, but don't really wanna get the thing busted while in the process. :( so might get it pressure tested or somethin instead.

p.s. my car on the dyno, pffft the result will b too embarrasing to bear :bahaha:

    • 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?
