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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
