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 ;)

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.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
