Congratulaions on your purchase.  

Let me know when you get your zorst fitted. Interested in cost and performance increase.  

Hey rich, where abouts northside you live? I'm up near Morayfield area. Would be good to see another sedan.

My drive is a 2001 R34GTX-T Sedan.

Hi Mate,

Only just got the email about replies to this thread...

I'm @ Chermside West and the GTT should be put on the ship sometime this week.

Aiming to have it on the road in April.

Looks like theres a few GTT's in Brisbane now. Hope we don't become as common as the 33's.

Bob Jones thats why I only said that I have *heard* good things about Bliss and Drift King, guess I might avoid them now all the same and stick with Beddhams. Anyway, the only personal experience has been with Beedhams and it was a good one.

About inductions sounds... I only had a K&N panel filter in stock box and also used to get a good induction sound in the GTST although my GTR had pods and it was definately more noticeable.

Managed to get some good tyres for compliance this time too, learnt from last time when they put Falken ZE326's on - a loathsome tyre esp in wet. Got some Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's for $225 a corner. Looking foward to seeing how the GTT corners, apparently better than the GTST's.

Go the sedan action!

I can vouch for the definate handling increase with new tyres and Upgraded suspension. I went down the path of Bilstein shocks and Whiteline springs. Also mixed in with some other Whiteline suspension bits. All I can say is it feels like it's on rails now.

I'm sure as hell keen for it, maybe we can organise something for next saturday? Meet up and have dinner somewhere, then make the trip to BWCP to show off some uniformed R34 action :) If enough of you are keen I'd be happy to lay down some details, feel free to PM interest/suggestions.

On another note, mythr33 and I compared notes between his R33 GTST and my R34 GTT tonight, the 34 certainly has a big advantage in the handling, lots less body roll, better suspension etc etc, felt as though his boost came on a bit stronger then mine though, mostly likely due to him having a much more adequete exhaust :P I'm certainly going to have to look into doing some work soon!

Metropol would be perfect for me and the upper carpark should have sufficient room.

I agree that it should not be R34's exclusively but we should co-ordinate once there for some cool photo opportunities.

I'm in for BWCP next week at this stage

Yeah, mine has some generic brand one (it does the job) but make sure u don't get the "not for use on forced induction vehicles" one that sells for $40.

As for the installation, it should be pretty straight forward but you may want to look at the CAI boxes available on these forums.  For about $120, u get a nice enclosure for the pod that incorporates parts of the factory airbox.  These allow the advantages of the pod minus most of the hot engine bay air.

If only the previous owner didnt throw out my original airbox...

Also check the hoses that return to the airbox.  There are two small hoses (diameter wise) in my engine bay that have been blocked cos I think they used to go to the airbox so you may need to do some blocking yourself.

But a guarantee, you will hear the turbo spool up (from a distance too) and the factory recirc valve will sound loud.

umm what hoses have been blocked in ur engine bay?? there are no hoses going to the standard air-box,, not on mine there isn't.. mind taking a pic of it? could be hoses to your boost solenoid or the black fuel canister thingy at the front .. :confused:

Firefrog,, i have a HKS mushroom filter with the AFM adapter for sale,, just doesn't have the green foam ,,

I'm in for the meet up for sure,,, keen to get a group/cruise happening on a regular basis aye.,,,

who here has msn?? please add me

I think I need a little credit for helping you fit the gear here...... :wassup:

CREDIT, You deserve all the credit. You pretty much fitted the lot by yourself. I was just the stooge who handed you the tools.

I'm keen for the meet even though I am from Northside. Might even be able to convince jlnewton to come?? Need the exact address as I'm not from around there.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      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?
