Hey ppl,

For the ppl who have an r32 gtst,

I was thinking the other day, what if once you got an aftermarket intercooler with new piping and removed the old intercooler, if you had a pod that was getting hot air, could you run say a flexible corrugated pipe from the AFM through the old intercooler piping vent, and then sit a pod down in there.

It would be recieving a lot of cold air, i can't imagine any water getting to it if you have you guard from the wheel well, and it would be out of sight for cops.

What do you reckon? Has anyone done this before? If so, give us the details!

i was going todo this setup on my vl, never quite got around to making all the piping up, i think the cops arent that stupid, and would follow the piping down, and it would actually still get wet, water ... and dirt

It's been done a few times, a better idea wich alot of people do is position the pod over the old intercooler pipe and run the ducting from the hole in the front bar to the old intercooling pipe hole. This will get heaps of cold air pointed towards your pod and even get some cold air into the engine bay. Also in you could make a box around the pod then you would truly have a c.a.i(edit) setup which would be ideal.

    • 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?
