Today i got an email from [email protected]

Email states and refers to my purchase of a service manual on ebay.

2 weeks ago i purchased a service manual for R32/33 for $36 inc delivery.

This manual is awsome, has everything to do with the engine on all varients of the R32 and 33. I noticed a statement on the second page noting that this document cannot be coppied and so forth.

This manual is a gen Nissan manual. It had been scaned to Adobe and saved in pdf.

Anyway back to the email. It says that im in breach of copyright laws by purchasing a copy of this manual and that i will be summonsed to apear in a court of law in the following weeks. So i wrote back to this email address and just got a delivery failure notice. I dont understand, I noticed all the manuals have disappeared from ebay and no one seems to be selling them atm. I also notice someone on the forums selling a similar product. Anyone know what this is about and what may happen.

I called legal advice, they said it seems a bit of BS as they dont send emails saying they will summons you. They will just rock up at your house at night and summons you personally with no warning.

Im a little worried, so i better post a dont buy these guides online warning.

From an IT perspective, the domain support.co.jp is unregistered, so the email address is a fake. If they were going to send you a nasty email it would come from [email protected] or something similar (let's face it, a japanese lawyer is not going to litigate in a US or AUS courtroom). Also, when the ebay auction started, Nissan could have simply contacted ebay and had it taken down, instead of sitting around waiting for someone to buy. Or they could go after the 'supplier'. I find it all too far fetched.

So the email's a fake. Who's it from?

If you like conspiracies, I go for Miss White in the library with the candle stick.

Or the ebay seller (unlikely - what's s/he to gain from it)

Or pissed off Ebay bidder (more likely).

I think that it's safe to ignore it.

I know its a fake. I checked it out with Nissan today in Brisbane. They know the manuals are floating round cyber space. They said its an internal leak and theres nothing they can do about it if its being distributed on the net. They said those responcible for this leak will be fired and charged for illegal distribution of company infomation.

I think nissan japan would be more concerned about the rampant spread of the jap manuals on Yahoo Japan... I got a set from japan, waaaay more detailed than the half arsed english translations.

Why wouldn't you be giving out copies to help fellow members?

You're already in violation of copyright law :)

and on that basis......I should retract what I may have implied about a manual being given out to people.

Love to help, but just by owning an R33 I've been made to feel as if I'm breaking the law, (by police), let alone actually breaking it!! Sorry to those who PM'd me. :Oops:

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
