You thought exactly as I did when I posted that same pic back a month or so on here. However as I was told ..."Sorry its not a skyline as its shot in the USA and they don't get Skylines, plus, the indicators on the side shot from the clip (on the bumper) are different....

Sorry to burst your bubble but someone popped mine to. Awesoem clip tho.

Heheheh...... well

Matrix is shot in Sydney, but the highway scene was shot on a highway built just for the movie. The highway has since been torn down, it was in California near an abandoned naval base.

Because the V35 Skylines are global models, available world-wide, and they are/will be availabe in the USA.

The different bumper-tail lights are due to the many different variations of the V35 series.

I think it blows up or something in the end.... cos it wasn't fast enough or something. So I think its best this way.

However if they intended the car to simply go so fast that it just loses the pursuing vehicles, the movie would probably lose out cos it would get kinda boring..... so its better this way I think. :)

soooo... did the japs copy yet another design from another car manufacturer or is it the other way round this time... because both look very similar to one another.

down the drags a few months ago and in the pit lane a rx7 s4 and a porsche (whatever the model is thats like the s4, 9xx? ) were next to one another and its good to see the japs have their own unique way of styling things

:lol: :lol:

that shot is friggin crazy! the agent actually flips his own car and starts shooting through his own windscreen while he is flipping in the air just to get a few shots at the cadillac cts!!! that is insane! of course the agent doesnt give a stuff what happens after that cos he just goes back in through another human body / entry point or whateva the popular term is for that sort of stuff.

yeah... ;)

    • 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?
