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"

:bonk: :bonk:

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.

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
