Japanese Stagea Service Manuals

[funkymonkey]

On another note, $140 for a Stagea CD with service manuals is pretty high. Youd think by now someone would have basically released it for free (as happend with JPNZ)

I was hoping for the same thing as well, in fact I spotted the stagea manuals on yahoo about 3 or 4 months ago, and back then they were the same price. I was hoping as time went on and as more people got em I could snap it up cheaper, but it didn't happen. Eventually just got sick of waiting and bidded on it.

You should have seen the prices of R32 skyline manuals and Apexi PowerFC software when they were released about a year and a bit ago (the proper japanese ones, not the summarised JPNZ translations)... they fetched about $500 for a burnt CD. Nowadays they can be bought for about $30 (still yet to see it for download anywhere).

I'm yet to see any payments other than the ones I posted in my online thingamabob... but being the weekend I don't think it updates. I'll let you guys know tomorrow if any new payments show up.

[GoldZilla]

Shan, I have just made the funds transaction.

It's CBA to CBA, so hopefully should show up pretty much straight away.

Sorry about the delay - been flat-chat at work, and now have relo's from overseas staying with us. Today is my first day of my holidays, so the first decent chance to sort this all out.

PM sent with address details...

Cheers and thanks in advance,

Nick T.

Oh one more thing, just reauthoring the manuals now, would people like the entire thing in one big PDF or split up into individual manuals as they are published?

The way I've made it now is one big PDF with an index page that takes you to the subsections (which are the individual manuals). These then have a index for their contents etc.

If I split them up the PDF's will load faster, but it might get more confusing to find out what manual is for what system of the car etc.

[EGA41T]

leave it as one big file, it will get too hard to search through if you have to keep opening new files.

[funkymonkey]

single file size is 360mb it'll take forever to load it off a CD.

[GoldZilla]

Me thinks split it up - although with Acrobat you can skip straight to a particular page if you want, can't you?

Did you get my payment, Funkeh?

[EGA41T]

hmmm, true bit if you copy the entire file onto your hard drive then you can just open it from there... either way it doesnt really matter i suppose, as long as all of the files are there and they are labeled

[ian]

seperate is probably better for the people with slow PC's, together is probably better for the fast ones. Though if it is 360mb you can do BOTH on the one CD! Problem solved... :-)

Shan, you haven't replied to my PM, did you get it?
