unfortunately i cant claim the driving as my own as im only a beginner and decided to give the car over for a visitor to australia for the actual comp portion of drift battle to Jairus Whanerau from New Zealand.

right click and save as - this is Jairus's second pass... first time he was even in the car so he didnt exactly have much time to prac in it to get used to it.

right click and save as - 3rd pass... mmmmmmmm

haha loved the commentator...

" of corrupt drift"

" of d1 garage"

"and now an international guest, drifting for team super fun happy sliders"

LMAO ROFL... love it...

how'd you manage to get Jairus to drift your car...

we were farken dissapointed as by the tandem match up tho... bloody legacy wagon got an easy picking and blew it... bah. Final 4 shoulda been the SA boys and the ceffy methinks, not the R33.

it was bs... at the driver briefing we were told that in the tandems the chase car should follow exactly what the lead car does to win... if the lead car does something to make the other car avoid hitting him then he gets a better mark... that 3rd round jairus led and not one time did the onevia follow his line... he didnt enter anywhere near as early into the corners so of course he was able to get closer... but he didnt get as good an angle through the corners... and jairus started drifting from behind the bridge through the last corner in one motion... of course thats going to be slightly slower than fishtailing but fishtailing is piss easy compared to one full motion which they said scored higher.

and the onevia got so close cause he was fishtailing the entry to the last corner that HE almost hit my car... bah... doesnt matter... he wants to start competing here.... with my car ;) he said hes going to talk to the sponsors back home about it and buy my car and leave it here in aus so he can fly over for the events.

i met him saturday in the pits after i did a few prac laps and he came over and had a talk about the car cause he had one in NZ that he drifted... we spoke for a while about the comp and NZ and then he saw me on sunday and came said hi and we chatted a bit more.... i finished in the prac session and asked if he wanted to go out in my place and actually do the comp... he was eager to get out there for the whole weekend so i handed him the keys :P

he didnt get any prac.... only the 3 laps u get to get into the top 16 lol... on his third lap he finally got it right and drifted the last section in 1 :) just like the D1 jap drivers

after pricing 18" tyres last week im cringing at those pics!!!

After viewing one of the vids i was impressed though. You car certainly must have a bit of balls to smoke em in some of the situations there. That track is rather different to the track we have up here for drifting, would love to have a go at it.

      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?
