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


Recommended Posts

try the link i posted earlier and see if you can still register, got an email today requesting the deposit, here is the email i got:

This email is concerning the deposit for the 1993~1997 Nissan SKYLINE Code: WM107 . We now have enough numbers to carry out translation and publication of the above mentioned manual. Please make a NZ $30 deposit so we can start the process. Once we start we expect the manual to take 3 to 4 months to publish. Once we have the manual complete we will ask for the remaining amount of NZ $70 + NZ $20 postage and will ship the completed manual.

Yes, signed up yesterday and got the email, but I have no idea how to deposit the money for them.

I've emailed them back to ask how, its probably worth putting in the group buy section, I think it was there a long time ago...

Its going to need some advertising to get 150 people paid.

they already had over 200 people that said they wanted it, all we need is 150 (maybe not even that much) to put down a deposit and there going to do it.

Hi Dave,

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

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 :P

Cheers from London,

Andrew

Fair enough Andrew just another rumor then I spose

As with the dust storm....wow what a day that was. Yeh it was pretty bad Ive never seen anything like it in my 34 years on Earth, Or is it Mars now? :D

I live at a place called Dural and work at Parramatta and the 30 odd min drive was pretty hard at sunrise you just couldnt see properly. I spose it was like a really heavy fog you guys would get in the UK.

Man the dust is still everywhere. Ive got a white dog and he is red, my grey house is red my clothes on the line are red my red 33 is....well.....still red :D

Anyway getting way off topic, Im gonna go and try to put a deposit down for the manual

Apparently they should be available in 3-4 weeks, anyone who wants one from the club can email

michael (at) jpnz.co.nz

So I think they've got enough interest now anyway :D

the email i got (in bold above) states 3-4 months, dont know why they would say that when it may be ready in 1 month.

Yes, I got the same automated email saying 3-4 months, I also got 2 non-automated emails from Michael, there director that clearly say 3-4 weeks.

So I hope its 3-4 weeks but maybe he meant 3-4 months...

im hoping for 3-4 weeks as well, the part where you sign up on there web site said 4-8 weeks, would even be happy with that, 3-4months is a bit long.

Did he happen to mention how we go about making the deposit since the link i got does not work?

Ah yes, he said you can pay by credit card which suits me.

The 2nd time I clicked the link I got from the automated email, when I scroll to the bottom of the page it says $30 and there is an add to cart button, which you can progress to a checkout :thumbsup:

It does mention the NZ$150 price which doesn't match the email but I'll deposit it for now and discuss it with them when they request the rest of the money.

the $150 price tag i believe is for people who buy it after they have completed it, the ones who get there deposit in before they start and pay for it will get it for $120NZ posted, which is about 100AU

NOT f**kING HAPPY JANNNN

Just got a reply to my email:

Hello Brett

All our manuals are now NZ $150 because we couldn’t get 150 to commit to the manuals over a fair amount of time so we now start to translate once we get near 100 people. We expect to have the Skyline manual ready in about 3 weeks.

Regards

Michael McCarthy (Director)

So what incentive is there now to put down a deposit and rush to get one, i should send him an email saying i already have a pirated copy of his engine manual that i got someone else to print for me so that will do for now.

Spoke to him, if we can get a group together to buy them he has an Australian account and he could offer us a discounted rate.

Created a new thread here for an EOI for a group buy.

If we don't get the numbers then no discount, but if we do get a few numbers there then we can get a discounted rate *and* deposit into an Australian bank account....

Regards,

Gareth

I do live in London, so shipping might come expensive.

However I could organize a group buy for the UK.

Do you have contact details regarding a group buy?

As for the manual, is the Spec II covered as well?

Greetings from the chilly side of the globe (I envy you people :P

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
