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:

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
