Afternoon all,

I have a complete A3 sized workshop manual for the R34 skyline electrical system for all models.

Only issue is that it's all in Japanese!,

Can anyone assist on a source of an English version?

Happy to pay for either the original document if its in English or for someone to translate the Japanese one I have?

Have attached the most critical one that I'm after in an English version.

Thanks in advance.

Pic of the page I need the most. It's of the GTR AWD altezza electrical system including ecu.

That's upsidedown lol

Where are you situated?

I can take my wiring diag. book down to my friends at JapLink and ask Yumiko to perhaps translate that page for you (whilst you're on the phone with them simultaneously)?

Their Ph# 02-9716.0857. They may even have this book already there. They help out SAUers from time to time.

I've just asked my wife to translate parts of that page, but she's not familiar with sections of the car.

I'm in Adelaide Terry. So a bit far away!!

Are these available to be purchased somewhere that you know of?

Assuming that it comes from the UK or Japan?

Really want to have a complete hard copy preferably!

Would you consider selling or copying yours?

I'll tell you where I bought these manuals (including the hardcopy workshop manual); and that's from the Autobookworld Bookshop at Rushcutters Bay.

Ph (02) 8354.1999

If they have any remaining Paul, they can send it to you in SA.

Hey Terry,

Thanks for all your help so far...... The bookshop unfortunatly was a dead end.

i was thinking somewhere like an office works or similar might be able to do the job.

More than happy to pay for the job and for your time!!

thanks in advance

That would be awesome Terry, hopefully they can do it on their large flat bed scanner?

if they can do the pages on the scanner then it shouldnt be too hard for them to do the whole manual....

Just time i guess which im happy to pay for.

thanks again Terry.

Terry I've spoken to a guy named Gohel.

He is the product manager for Canon Buisness imaging and he is located in North Ryde.

He has the equipment big enough to flat bed scan the document and he is happy to do it for us.

I'm just not sure if you ever get out that way?

I'd obviously be more than happy to have it couriered door to door if you felt comfortable with that as an option?

PM'd Re tomorrow morning :)

Just checking once again after rereading OP...

The Manual I have is also Japanese with the Index in English. Is your one the same anyway?

Can't you just have that page of yours translated by Kristian if you already have the Manual in Japanese Paul?

Just came to meet V Gohel here at N Ryde and he says they only have a roller type of flat bed scanner too, necessitating cutting the page out of the manual Paul. He recommends several DSLR pics > jpeg ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

Hey Terry,

Sorry I've been off grid for the last week.

I'm not real happy with Gohel. I clearly stated that the pages were up to 1.2m and that cutting the book was not an option.

He said he had a flat bed big enough to do the job.

I'm hoping he recommended a place that could do the photographing?

Must apologise for the dead end run around.

I already have a mailing tube with your addy on it Lol

Photos with a Nikon DSLR next Sunday is the best I can do at this stage Paul.

Gohen said there would be extremely few large table flatbed scanners around nowadays due to low volume jobs and high maintenance.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
