I can recommend a GREAT Fiat, Lancia and Lada workshop in Market St :)

But for an S15: Chasers is close by - in West Melb.

They are on Dynon Rd now. Head around past Telstra Dome - 10mins away.

From their website: http://www.chasers.com.au

ph. 0433 184724 or 0438 668880

Unit 4, 440 Dynon Road

West Melbourne

Yeah call Chasers for sure. Their new shop is 440 Dynon road which is the contination of Spencer Street. Dyno went in yesterday. Call Benny on his new number 0416009785.

Tell him Jevan from the Skyline forum sent you down and he will look after you!! Check out the Silver R34 GTR that is in the shop at the moment!! AMAZING

Hehe - maybe. But from the little I know about the car and it's future intensions it's a "go in a straight line" project. And from what I hear it's planned to be a monster. I'm looking forwards to seeing the project finished.

So in another twisty competition it still may get owned no matter what is done to it. Especially if like the last time it tries to do circuit work on Nitto's LOL.

Chances are if the last DVD was a 1/4 mile comp I would have finished 3rd - not 1st anyways. So it's horses for coarses. I was actually a little suprised with the cars that turned out truth to be told. It was a track challenge and other than my car the Hypertech S15 was the only other car actually set-up for track. The others were either drag or drift cars.

I have been talking to Simon about Serious Performance 9 DVD and doing a top speed challenge. In that the Silver GTR would probably own me - but I think the Ice Supra would have us both. LOL

I want Luffs job, tour around punting other ppl cars:( Luff Snr thrashed the beejeezus out of my old dear in front of the Serious Performance cameras and the footage never saw the light of day:( Goes to show other then me noone is interested in little 32GTSTs:)

When i drop my car off Troy i would like some rockets pls, just as long as they dont stuff up the paintwork...picking bonnet up this weekend, will call you next week when i know when ill be back in Melb:)

In the middle of building a new bake oven at the moment....you might get the first job to roll out of it...you know the one where you bust a full champers bottle oven it :(

No way man! You can *accidentally* install Troy's carbon bonnet on my thing if you want to :)

    • 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?
