R33 Service Manual - Who wants to pitch in to buy one?


Recommended Posts

Guys, I know everyone would love to own a copy of this publication, and while its a bit too much to be bought by oneself, if we all pitched in and bought a copy there's no law against us all buying one copy and passing the one copy around. Basically the you can grab it off the last person who had it when you need it n keep it till sum1 else wants it.

The manual is about $200 or less, so basically if 10 people pitched in 20 bucks we could buy it. It apparently covers all models of R33s.

Since the manual has to be passed around, it requires that all people in the group buy are in the same city, so this is only open to residents of melbourne.

I will make sure that all people who put their hands up for this are people who are known and credible, so that no one is tempted to "lose" the manual and stuff it up for every1 else.

I would definately be interested and would be willing to chuck in $20 bucks.

Tell me though, are we allowed to make a "back-up copy" just in case the original gets lost?

what you do with it is up to you, the rest of us won't be liable for the repercussions. The way I see it, its like me buying the book n lending it to you, I can't stop you from photocopying it, but you will have breached copyright.

Im not someone to break the law. But im still interested.

Surely there are more people in Melbourne who are interested in the R32 manual?

And no freeloaders, funky, i take it it will not be lent to people who havent put in?

yeah got the GTR one, I'm assuming the R32 Service manual would have everything though, coz that's what it says on the blurb.

i guess a similar group buy could be done for the R33 manual... actually seeing as I'm gettin an RB25DET swap I'll need it, yeah I'll put $20 in for one... I'll create a thread for it...

Greetinz Funkymonkey,, where have you seen this manual for $200 or less,,i just ask because everywhere i have seen it ,,it is around the $240 to $250 mark before shipping ...........

more plebs want the r33 manual i suspect hehe... nah I need a copy too coz I'm puttin an RB25DET into my car n need to know all the fiddly bits n circuit diagrams

some rules will have to be established I guess.

minimum keep time is 3 days

whoever loses it has to pay out the contributions in full to the contributors

it cannot be loaned to anyone outside the group of contributors

whoever had it last keeps it till it is wanted by someone else

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
