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:

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
