I have 6 of them - 3 for the Gtst's and variants (GTT's etc) and 2 for R32 and R33 GTR's - they are great, but you need an interpretor for the text as its all in japanese.

Christian.

I bought em for 300 Yen each, got most of the 32 n 33 ones, and I've translated half of em... now if only I can get around to puttin em onto a website. Registered www.japimports.info, but need hosting :thumbsup:

I'm waiting for my latest purchase to come thru... RB20 and RB25 DET ECU reprogramming guide + ECU Maps. mmmm where my eeprom programmer at?

also just bought this last night...

Ahh wish I had more time to translate all of em... my god... Bought the last one for the tuning guide more than anything.

Next up on my to buy list are the R32 Series 2 and R33 Series 1 service manuals, that's worth about $200 in japan and they're about 2cm thick.

Rob you can borrow mine if you wanna have a read

oh and has anyone else noticed that after you read a few of these books, you start reading english books formt he back as well? My mates have busted me doing this and its quite embarrasing.

here's a sample of my lil collection...

This one I had to have, coz I own a V Selection 2 GTS

My most prized book, the RB20/RB25 ECU tuning Guide

And the version for GTSt's n stuff that I have

I tried in the DIY section with My R32 classification guide, but you really need to layout pictures n stuff, there's only so much you can do in a thread format.

I don't mind building it as part of the SAU website (I guess I could con PranK into givin me some webspace, adn then I can design a proper thing.

For example...

scan_10077.jpg

This page is part of a dummies guide to Engine parts in an RB26 and what can be achieved by replacing each part with aftermarket parts etc.

It's just a bit of a hassle to put it in a thread based form rather than a table format illustration.

Rest assured I will put it all up once its sufficiently translated, just takes time (esp since my Kanji skills aren't too good and have to rely on my GF to do most of the complex words and she ain't too thrilled when I pull out car mags when she's tryin to spend quality time :( ).

np rob i'll bring a revspeed around for ya to flick thru at the meeting. You'll have to be careful tho, most of my mags have the staples taken out so I can scan em :D

prankeh, email sent...

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
