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 ->

Cheers ...

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.

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

Many thanks for the input.

Cheers from London!

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:

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 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.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
