Okay, this is a NEWBIE question as i own my Skyline now for only 2 weeks..

There is a button on the left hand side of the driver's seat which said Snow/A-T/Power.. anyone know what the differences are?

I leave mine on Power all the time.

One more question.. with my turbo i left my car idling for 1 -2 minutes after a good run, the turbo then makes a clinking noise? is this meant to be?

thanks all....

clinking sound, could be some engine parts cooling down...

my bro's civic also does the same, it goes clink clink clink clink clink clink

sounds like a timer, I think nothing to worry about, in fact all cars I had or driven in the past made that kind of tiny clicking sound after engine turned off... the sound should be pretty faint, you can only hear it if you're near the engine bay, it it's very loud, then maybe something is wrong

I agree with Inark....just the cooling down.

Pushead, there is a pdf (Sky is the Limit) one of the guys have written up, which give a brief intro into your new( well...new 4 u) Skyline. Do a search for the title, its quite helpful, will answer question u have, and question u dont know u have... :)

If u cant find it here, go to

forums.skylinesdownunder.com and also search there

no point in leaving the power button on, if u notice when on hard acceleration power button lights up automatically and turns off again once u back off and the o/d button just stops from shifting into 4th but upto around 140-150kms then I'd be needing 4th...:D

    • 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?
