Opinion on R32 JPNZ manual

[Buttoned_Down_Psycho]

im thinking of buying one of these manuals but have seen a couple of negative comments about them. Has anyone bought or had a good look at one yet and be able to tell me what they are like and if they are worth the money?

PS. i suppose any negative comments about them should be PM'd to me

I bought one for my R33 and while the picture/text/grammar quality isn't really up to scratch, the quality of the paper and the binding is very good. However it serves its purpose as good owner's manual and it makes my car feel more "complete". I mainly bought it for interest's sake, I wanted to see if there were any hidden features of my car and also wanted to have an official record of the service schedule.

If you're not really interested in owning it, you could save some money by borrowing someone else's and memorising the bits you're not familiar with. Most of the car you've probably already worked out yourself anyway.

Jimx did u buy it from jpnz.co.nz?

if so how long do they take normally to process and send out the manual?

i put in an order for the r32 manual from there last week.

I bought it from some mob in Queensland who keep a stock of them. They sent it overnight with Express Post.

i got myn from www.importdriver.com.au...

its r32 one, it looks exactly the same as the one that came with my other car, cept this one is as a book, the other one was loose leaf paper.. so as jimx said it serves its purpose.

randy - i find it useful at times, but nothing that an experienved motorist wouldnt know, its not a engine manual, just an owners manual... just easy stuff like this is winscreen wiper switch etc... but none the less very effective of its job.

[randymoss]

yeah got it in the mail last week

most of the stuff is self-explanatory but its good to have around

as a reference

yeh, if your new to the r32 its helpful on little things, i wouldnt mind the engine manual one, but it might be a little $$$ to buy atm, maybe in a month or so, if i get it ill tell you what its like.
