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...

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
