[pushead]

[TIMMMAYYY]

Doesn't bother me too badly that the R31 manual was the last one made hehe

$700 for a R34 manual?

what a joke

[sherlock_nzl]

Hi Guys

Yep, I think it would be a great idea if the library did that, but it might be pretty hard to convince them! There has been lots of interest above in a r33 set, but unfortunately I need a R34 one – which is must more expensive as well - and I’ve only had two people email me so far.

So if you are interested in an R34 workshop manual, send me a message, and would someone else like to step forward to coordinate a R33 one?

Remember, it is NOT illegal for us to buy a copy and share it!

I just bought an R33 manual thru Motor Traders...$250

It's heaps detailed, engine only though, no gearbox, diff etc

Err...scanning 500 pages and compressing to pdf...would take a while

500 pages would take about a day to photocopy on a fully automoatic photocopier not to mention that you'd probably have to tear up the book page by page to properly scan it.

Took 2-3 hours just to copy about 200 pages, and had to be done at night so we weren't busted for copying private infoformation etc.

Your always hoping no one comes in and asks what your doing for that time, and using up 500+ sheets of paper would cost $100 to $200, so no boss would sit there and say it's ok with them.

No one would pay $500+ then scan it for you, then PDF it and then give it to you for free.

Why not just save up the cash and buy it's it wouldn't take long to buy a copy.

The one problem I see with a group buy is that somemone will always some how lose it and you'll never see it again and they probably stop turning up much or never at all again and some how be pretty hard to get in contact with.

I've got a pdf copy and that will do.. If it were $100 and I would upgrade.

Not for $200 though.

[pinoi_boi_r33]

Has any 1 stepped out for doing this for an r33 version?? If not i will buy one in a few weeks with my own cash. If there is genuine interest lets do a group buy and then some1 will have to scan it then send it around, not hard i can do it at uni. just by reading the posts "i've got 20 bux" or ppl that replied similar we have some interest. I may end up just buying it then scanning it then selling it 2nd hand. we'll c. Zagan has a point with the losing thing but if its in digital then the rule should be the person who loses it gets the digital copy printed in colour and bound again or something like that to protect the others in the deal.

The R34 version is "available" thanks to a couple of really interested guys.
