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

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
