Hi All,

I have been trying to make some improvements to the R32 GT-R Workshop Manual PDF that's floating around as I find its pretty unusable in digital form.

Anyway, after a couple of hours work I give you the improved workshop manual with rather complete bookmarks (make sure you open the bookmark tab in Acrobat) :D

Download the Zipped PDF (~21Mb)

Not sure how long I can keep it available as it will depend on bandwidth. If others want to host mirrors, that would be great.

Let me know if you find any mistakes and I will try and fix them ASAP and reupload.

Cheers,

Lucien.

is there any software around to traslate the picture to text? like you can do if you scan a document.

The problem is that, unfortunately, the manual was scanned as a series of images rather than using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which would have made all the text portions appear as just that, text. As a side bonus, that would mean the text is searchable, selectable, copyable, etc etc.

I just tested exporting the PDF to image and running it through some OCR software. It seems to work OK, but will take a considerable amount of time to process. I will have a fiddle and see what I can do.

Richiarid :D No problems.

Hi Guys,

Your all very welcome. I hope you find it useful. Its nice to give something back (that people appreciate :D) to the community that's given me so much :grouphug:

Anyhoo, after trying to latest version of OmniPage (and OCR package) it seems it can import directly from PDF. I have experimented with it a little and it will still be quite an effort to swap it over from images to text, but give me a little time and I will see what I can do.

nice job matey....... it has help me out a hell of alot with my rb conversion in my 66 gt........ much appreciated .... good to see some decent people out there!

cheers.... :D

Ok,

I have spent the better part of the day trying to process the workshop manual with OmniPage. I have managed to get 100 pages done (so approximately 1/8th of the manual):

I would be interested to see if people think having text and images (rather than just a series of images) is useful -- ie. the text is now fully searchable. If you have a minute, feel free to download the 100 page "sample" and have a play with it. If people think its worthwhile, I will keep going and try and do the lot.

Sample is here (~9.5Mb): http://ugbox.net/~lance/OCAU/lw/R32_WM_Rev2_Test.zip

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
