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.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
