FYI

When I went to get my 4x4 import recently registered all they checked was the engine and vin numbers. I could have had anything in there they wouldnt have cared as they rely on the roadworthy for all those checks.

When I was there, there were 3 woman doing the checks and the 1 that did my car didnt even know what car it was and where the engine number was even after I showed here 3 times she couldnt see it and finially just gave up and said it was ok.

I was going to get a modded r32 from a guy in sydney and bring it down here, but the thing that turned me off was the fact that even if he got a pink/blue/red/etc slip for it up there, i would still have to unregister it and then re-register it in Vic, going through the hassle of trying to get a RWC.

getting the RWC shouldnt be a drama for me... its what happens at vicroads after i get my RWC that im worried about........ if i get done in at the inspection, with a RWC, the garage that issued the RWC is gonna be in some hot water.. thats definately not what i would want....

id need to get one of the 3 chick inspectors for sure.......... as long as they only check numbers should be ok..

well dont get a dodgy one and no-one gets in trouble.

common sense really.

Vic Roads have had a major crackdown on dodgy RWC's in the last 12 months or so.

I know a lot of mechanics that have lost thier License for RW Inspection for 2 years

      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?
