I've managed to get all the workshop manuals, wiring diagrams etc. But I am after the Owners Manual (just a pdf is fine) - you know, the manual the lives in the glove box of most cars.. but often is missing when the skylines are imported.

That's all I'm really after - wish could get a hold of the file for it though.

I want one for my car, as has basic maintenance and work info (not how, but what to do etc), and talks about the general running and use and specs of the vehicle.. But I guess it's prob 100% in jap? Not a translated version any way (forgot to think about that...)

I have the 490 page long workshop manual, circuit diagrams, sterio info diagrams etc. I want the smaller owners manual, the one that "most" cars have in their glovebox. The one that shows the basics of how the vehicle works, and recommended service info etc - rather than complex exploded diagrams of how the engine works (because I already got this one, I want the small one also).

Tnx any hoo Kat.

PS. I spent enough time searching online to no avail, and came across a few of the workshop manuals, but none of the owners manual.

Nah it's all in Engrish.

When I bought my car, the previous owner supplied me with links to the workshop manual and owners manual....I just so happened to have the booklet thingy (that I have now) from my last Skyline.

You want it? I've not once opened it since my first Skyline was stolen - merely placed it into this one's glovebox.

Please!

I may then be able to make a copy to put up myself that way.

I have the r31,32, 33, 34 and 35 workshop manuals and wiring diagrams etc that I bought off ebay on cd for $9.

So I've printed off my relevant stuff and put them into a ring binder for use.

Be sweet to complete my set and have all the stuff for my car by adding this manual, despite being Engrish. I can live with that.

Haha, the engrish part was a bit of a joke :P everything I read was in legible English. Although I wouldn't at all be surprised to fine complete incoherent babble here or there.

also, just for the sake of mentioning it - the booklet I have has a white Veilside R33 on the front cover...kinda leads me to believe the whole thing *may* be 3rd party...or just that the creator thought that would be a good cover when he printed the original out. I dunno.

I actually don't quite understand what you mean by that. But all good either way.

And prob is 3rd party, cos the genuine ones were in japanese...

Now to get the thing off you, see ur car in action and show mine off.

Different cover, but same book. Yes. All 490 pages.

Ta.

I want the small glove box manual - like come in most cars.

Fingers crossed what Troy speaks of is exactly it.

Is this the bigger one that you already have?

I have that one... it's about 20mm thick

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
