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

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
