just wanted to get my hands on a workshop manual. they are handy to have. found some link's somewhere in the forums one lead me now where one the site had shutdown and the last one led me to a place where i could purches a copy at $5 per section. A quick sum up worked out at about $500 roughly thats way to expensive. if anyone has figured out a way of getting an english one for a reasonable price or has manged to translate there own and willing to sell it for a carton. that un less someone is made of cash and wants to buy it and share it around. any help will help us all :whistling:

Engine wise it's basically the same, but thats as far as it goes. I also found that website "www.repairmanual.co.nz" I think it was.

I actually contacted them and heres a snippet of the email.

The manual you ask for is only available in Japanese. We may be producing a full English manual in the future. We will put you on the mailing list to keep you informed. In the meantime you may like to request a section via www.repairmanual.co.nz We will then translate and email you once the material is complete. There may also be sections available for instant download already.

Entire translated manual would be good, I have the jap version, and am lucky that my girlfriend can translate for me, but that still takes time.

if ur lucky, the person that you are buying your stagea from may give you all of the bits and pieces of workshop manuals he has accumulated over the past year and a half.

I've got a BIG two ring binder thats full of pretty much all you willever need. All from the DIY etc. and especially the absolutely excellent stuff SK has put forward along with all the other guys on the forum.

Actually tomorrow is timing belt day at our place and we will be using the SK instructions to do it. And I might add that we used the same info to do a CA18 with absolutely no probs. Did not even need to check the timing. Easy as.

There is somuch interchangeability between a lot of the CA, SR and RB that it does not really matter that there is not a specific "English" manual. If you have half a brain and a phillips head screwdriver, any Stagea owner can either fix or get advice to fix pretty much all.

Incidently manuals Suk, I love autos. f**kin HAHAHA. LOLlolLOL

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
