Where Is The R33 Full Workshop Manual (not Just The Engine)?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I was wondering with a car as popular as the R33 Skyline how come there is no chassis/body/electrical workshop manual available???

I got the complete workshop manual package for the R32, but for the R33 it's 'just' the engine workshop manual floating around.

It's a total mystery to me ... (and it's annoying :domokun:)

Any ideas where the complete package is to be found?

Can it be bought? Who has it?

Looks like this ->

I got mine from here

pdftown.com/Nissan-Skyline-R33-Service-Manual.html

bit annoying with all the passwords and other sites and all but yeh, printed copies go to ebay.com.au they have them.

Hi!

Thanks for the info ...

But this manual is the same that is floating around ..

It's 'just' the Engine-Manual, not the whole thing.

Sigh - I guess I have to be still looking

;)

I hear your pain ! Ive been looking for one for quite a while, specifically the full wiring diagrm as I want to retro fit a A-LSD V-Spec diff to my R33 GTST Series ! !

Thanks God! There's another guy looking for the real manual ;)

Funnily no one else seems to bother ....???!

I need the full wiring diagram as well ... (that's what I'm looking for)

I'll dub them The Lost Scrolls from now on ... it's very mysterious, isn't it?

If I come up with something I'll let you know. Promised!

There isnt one in english, have looked high and low, there is a company in NZ that translated the engine one but they only do then if there is enough interest, go there and lodge you interest, from memory we need about 100 people who are willing to buy them before they will translate and print them.

Thats the one, says they need 150 and they have 164, make sure you do a request and with any luck they will do it soon.

Hi ...

I have requested the manual at their site, thanks :(

Though I have searched high and low as well, I could not even find the Japanese version ...

(it must be out there .... somewhere ;)

Many thanks for the input.

Cheers from London!

With the currency conversion rate it will cost $80

For $80 and if its got what I want Id buy one !

PM-33 why ?

Ive read the post youve put up I the Driveline section !

From what I can tell that diff, with an auto bleed set up, is exactally what Im looking for !

I can get everything minus the wirring for very cheap.

So,for me, it might be the go !

Yep,

You're right ..

They did not ask for any down payment (I thought they would by following the link)

But I will buy the manual ... most definitely :blush:

they are now tho, but the link didnt work for me.

Torques please correct me if Im wrong but I have been told that the 33GTR and Gtst was locally released in the UK???

If this is actually true wouldnt the UK nissan dealers be able to source english manuals?

I have been looking for one since 2002 and have NEVER found one. The closest I have come is the NZ site

Hi Dave,

I have never heard of a UK release and if there was one it would have been 'spread' eventually :P

To my knowledge the R33 was not sold outside Japan, so there is most likely no official version of it.

Believe me, I pulled all strings I could get hold of .. but no complete R33 manual..

The one 'floating' around is for the engine, but nothing else covered.

A real mystery for such a popular car ..

I see you come from Sydney?

How bad was this red dust storm you had over there?

I saw it on the news and it looked like a scene from planet Mars :cool:

Cheers from London,

Andrew

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
