Hi All,

Looking for an original R34 GTR owners manual. In the original leather cover - etc preferred.

If you have one, please shoot me through a PM with your asking price and we'll go from there.

If you are located in Sydney, I can pick up and pay cash, otherwise will pay for postage.

Cheers.

These aren't F/S, but whilst I don't have a leather one, these are the items that are generally coveted.

I'm wondering if you'll have better luck with this from the UK Forums Chris, since Andy Middlehurst Nissan at St Helens was a direct Official Importer of the R34 GT-R.

Mine 'was' new Anthony.

It's indexed and manuscripted exactly the same as any ADM Nissan.

I thought for a while about going to a book binder and separating every page > photostating > rebinding it with a plastic book spine; but someone told me about a place that stocks rare car manuals anyway. I never did google it tho'

I did ask Nissan the question a few weeks ago, they said you cant get them brand new anymore unfortunately.

Edit: For clarification, you cant get them brand new via their spare parts department anymore.

I rang up www.autobookworld.com today asking for the R34 Owner's Manual.

The owner was out, but the employee said they hadn't had one for a while.

He did offer me though, a two volume set of the official workshop manuals including wiring diagrams for the BNR34. The set was expensive.

I called back later when the boss was in and he discounted them after holding them since 2009.

They're in Japanese although English is juxtaposed to Japanese in the index.

Knowing that Maria can read and translate Japanese...

That price became too hard to resist I'm afraid > got em

That 1st volume of course can be downloaded or it's available on disc Afaik.

The search for the Owner's Manual goes on.

I'm still convinced it must be around somewhere in the UK or at a place like I rang up today or with a car club member!

^ Thanks for the tip.

I have a mate that is going to Japan at the end of the month, he said to remind him to take a look for one @ the auction houses.

Would like a japanese one though, looks all authentic with the characters. Maybe i'll even be able to read it one day.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
