So you think the lineup for the B-Man award is:

1) UAS John

2) Boos7a?

3) NV-033

4) Bu5ter

Dunno how you rate your chances, pretty stout competition there.

Doughy wtf why aren't you at the top of that list, BU5TER can't blow up it hasn't got an engine and the falcon is rock solid :P

I am invincible! My new engine is constructed only of the finest and well known components, all hand selected to perform optimally together. The greatest mechanics of all time banded together to work on the project, which was conducted in a state of the art, no expense spared workshop.

Easy enough to see why I am so confident about the car, and how it will go.

If anyone breaks - I am bringing Gloria - My bet is that someone will break.

I will put $$$ on 300ZX fat boat anchor not even getting into the 12s :)

Oh and I am for hire as Pit Bitch to the highest bidder.

Just call me Pit Bitch Whore.

ha ha ha ha - this is going to be funny - i'd better bring the cam corder hey ! :D

- My bottle is now in a big freezer waiting to be filled.

- My 'Race Clutch' and 'Nitto Extreme' stickers are in place

- Most of the unnessecary weight has been removed from the car

It's gonna be a good day and I can't WAIT to see how well *larf* the boat anchor goes :)

    • 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?
