I've had the SDU PDF book for quite a while and it has been a useful reference up and as far as it's more a "32" reference than a 33 or 34 tome.

Do we have the capability to come up with a Australian based guide to the Skyline?

Here's the SDU book for reference:

Go get 'em boys & girls.... the wait is over

http://www.jpnz.co.nz/manuals.html

BTW, I have a full set of papers and I mean FULL. Things like owners manual (R33), dealer warranty card, RWC, rego papers, Rego label (unpeeled), Puretron manual, service book with all coupons, about 30 or 40 receipts for everything but fuel, stickers (unpeeled), etc, etc all in the original plastic gatefold complete with the Dealers business card & photo ! the dealership was Nissan Prince in ***uoka (Kyushu).

I'm led to believe that it's ultra-rare to get all papers with Jap imports - True or False ?

Is there anyone in these forums who can translate written nihongo ??? I can scan and email any of this for anyone who can assist.

I would be more than happy to share this treasure trove with all who are intersted if we can get it translated....

LOL fu-ku.....

I got the owners manual, service manaul, service history and a few other things with mine.

Most the stuff is in japanesse and probably says something like "this car is crap and is going to blow up soon. I'm going to sell it to some stupid Australian bloke"

i got most of the documentation too... since mine was jus an average family car (in some way or other) I got the registration and derego paperwork and full service manuals, and even manuals for the aftermarket exhaust and other mods that were done to it. Oh and a membership card to some Nippon holiday cruise club or sumfin... and also the stickers n stuff including the Japanese Automotive Federation or sumfin, which I think is like the NRMA over there... oh and my flare!!!

Jamezilla: how much did it set you back [if you dont mind me asking]? How many pages in it?

I know they are advertised at around $50 but isnt that in NZ dollars? Then of course freight would also need to be added for shipping to here...?

Cheers!

JPNZ has two manuals available. The Owners manual (which I have purchased) is your basic manual which would come with any new car - basic operation car, radio, lights, brakes, bits and pieces, location of jack blah blah blah. The other manual available is the Engine Service manual (500+ pages and just about enough info to remove and install an engine.

BE WARNED - I have looked extensively into the legal side of this and any copying of any manual and distribution of it (even if it is a JPNZ manual from New Zealand) is completely ILLEGAL. The fines if caught with or distributing an illegal copy are just not worth it. I think that NZD$250 or AUD$225 for an engine manual as rare as the R33 is a bargain.

This has been discussed before on the SDU/SAU forums and a thread has been closed by a moderator due to continued discussion of copying of manuals.

      So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
