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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
