Your doing well for a young guy living on the Nth American continent:)

All the yanks seem to have trouble getting a Skyline over that side of the world, but may Canuks are smarter.

You could check out my links for a good way to waste a lot of perfectly good cash on something you will never get your money back on. BUT DAMN, you will probably enjoy yourself:)

P.S. comin to OZ for the Comm. Games? Plenty of Skylines here.

First of all get a pod filter (or easy flow stock filter) and a largish exhaust this will help it breath much better, rev easier and produce a bit more power. next I'd go the suspension, stiffer shocks neoprene bushes and pineapples to stop the rear end floating, from there you can spend lots a money on all sorts of things ECU, intercooler, turbo, cams, injectors the list go on and on

Hello, my name is josh. i live in alberta canada. i i just got a 1990 Skyline GTS-T Type M and just what to now of some good mods to do. and also some web pages will help also thanks

-Josh

Use the search function for heaps of info

Full 3" exhaust should be the first thing you do from the turbo back including a high flow cat.

Cold air intake - panel filter in airbox or pod with heat sheild

Up the boost 10 to12psi - either use a electronic boost controller or a bleed valve.

after these mods id go a intercooler kit or a new ECU.

    • 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?
