just wanted to get my hands on a workshop manual. they are handy to have. found some link's somewhere in the forums one lead me now where one the site had shutdown and the last one led me to a place where i could purches a copy at $5 per section. A quick sum up worked out at about $500 roughly thats way to expensive. if anyone has figured out a way of getting an english one for a reasonable price or has manged to translate there own and willing to sell it for a carton. that un less someone is made of cash and wants to buy it and share it around. any help will help us all :whistling:

Engine wise it's basically the same, but thats as far as it goes. I also found that website "www.repairmanual.co.nz" I think it was.

I actually contacted them and heres a snippet of the email.

The manual you ask for is only available in Japanese. We may be producing a full English manual in the future. We will put you on the mailing list to keep you informed. In the meantime you may like to request a section via www.repairmanual.co.nz We will then translate and email you once the material is complete. There may also be sections available for instant download already.

Entire translated manual would be good, I have the jap version, and am lucky that my girlfriend can translate for me, but that still takes time.

if ur lucky, the person that you are buying your stagea from may give you all of the bits and pieces of workshop manuals he has accumulated over the past year and a half.

I've got a BIG two ring binder thats full of pretty much all you willever need. All from the DIY etc. and especially the absolutely excellent stuff SK has put forward along with all the other guys on the forum.

Actually tomorrow is timing belt day at our place and we will be using the SK instructions to do it. And I might add that we used the same info to do a CA18 with absolutely no probs. Did not even need to check the timing. Easy as.

There is somuch interchangeability between a lot of the CA, SR and RB that it does not really matter that there is not a specific "English" manual. If you have half a brain and a phillips head screwdriver, any Stagea owner can either fix or get advice to fix pretty much all.

Incidently manuals Suk, I love autos. f**kin HAHAHA. LOLlolLOL

    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
    • Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.
    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
