i just went to have a look at the tapes, the security guy there couldn't get the bloody cabinet lock open! sounds dodgey, but i genuinely doubt he was involved. i will have to try again tomorrow morning as someone different will be on and hopefully have the correct set of keys. i will find out how these guys took the car, whether they hot wired it or just towed it off and update everyone.

thanks

Hey, if you want your car back, im more than happy to volunteer my car to set the f@*K heads up. I've got some mates that would be more than willing to help to. If they did fall for the bait and try it again, me and my mates will teach them a lesson and hopefully get ur car back. May sound pointless but its worth a shot. My names Simon, im in ferntree gully. I drive a 1993 R33 GTST, Gunmetal 2 door coupe. Feel free to call me on 0419 154 515. By the way, i have comprehensive insurance. lol. UP TO YOU.

Hey Simon, i really appreciate the offer, but i wouldn't wish this to happen to anyone. if something happened to your car, that would be really bad and i'd feel worse. i think they've been scoping out the place for a while as well, i've was parking in pretty much the same spot for a few months.

thanks again.

Hey im still more than happy to use my car as bait, it has 2 hidden kill switches in it, one for the ignition and the other for the fuel line, so even if they got in and could start it, it would stall in like 2 seconds cause the fuel would cut out, trust me i've forgotten bout it so many times. lol. Also sounds like you have more than a few people here willing to help out. Also remember that im knowingly putting my car at risk, so you would have nothing to feel bad about. Up to u.

Cheers.

Guesty.

i should be viewing the tapes on wed evening, the security boss is in wed, all these other ppl can't seem to help me. its not always security who man the place, in the day its mostly the national bus people.

thanks for the offer guesty, give me another wk, i'm thinking about taking it up.

ok, the security system is crap there. i was viewing it with the boss tonight, he admits its no good. the only really good one is pretty much the one which points at the shelter, maybe because there is more light there. we couldn't find the camera which pointed at my car, it was hard to use the system.

i think its time to move on. i dunno what car to get now, can't afford to spend too much.

thanks for all the help guys.

    • 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?
