Where Is The R33 Full Workshop Manual (not Just The Engine)?

[Torques]

Hi!

I was wondering with a car as popular as the R33 Skyline how come there is no chassis/body/electrical workshop manual available???

I got the complete workshop manual package for the R32, but for the R33 it's 'just' the engine workshop manual floating around.

It's a total mystery to me ... (and it's annoying )

Any ideas where the complete package is to be found?

Can it be bought? Who has it?

Looks like this ->

Cheers ...

I got mine from here

pdftown.com/Nissan-Skyline-R33-Service-Manual.html

bit annoying with all the passwords and other sites and all but yeh, printed copies go to ebay.com.au they have them.

Hi!

Thanks for the info ...

But this manual is the same that is floating around ..

It's 'just' the Engine-Manual, not the whole thing.

Sigh - I guess I have to be still looking

Dude don't, just get a nice 1.5 way LSD, lot less work and less headache than these diffs.

Thanks God! There's another guy looking for the real manual

Funnily no one else seems to bother ....???!

I need the full wiring diagram as well ... (that's what I'm looking for)

I'll dub them The Lost Scrolls from now on ... it's very mysterious, isn't it?

If I come up with something I'll let you know. Promised!

There isnt one in english, have looked high and low, there is a company in NZ that translated the engine one but they only do then if there is enough interest, go there and lodge you interest, from memory we need about 100 people who are willing to buy them before they will translate and print them.

Thats the one, says they need 150 and they have 164, make sure you do a request and with any luck they will do it soon.

With the currency conversion rate it will cost $80

Hi ...

I have requested the manual at their site, thanks

Though I have searched high and low as well, I could not even find the Japanese version ...

(it must be out there .... somewhere

Many thanks for the input.

Cheers from London!

For $80 and if its got what I want Id buy one !

PM-33 why ?

Ive read the post youve put up I the Driveline section !

From what I can tell that diff, with an auto bleed set up, is exactally what Im looking for !

I can get everything minus the wirring for very cheap.

So,for me, it might be the go !

Yep,

You're right ..

They did not ask for any down payment (I thought they would by following the link)

But I will buy the manual ... most definitely

Torques please correct me if Im wrong but I have been told that the 33GTR and Gtst was locally released in the UK???

If this is actually true wouldnt the UK nissan dealers be able to source english manuals?

I have been looking for one since 2002 and have NEVER found one. The closest I have come is the NZ site

Hi Dave,

I have never heard of a UK release and if there was one it would have been 'spread' eventually

To my knowledge the R33 was not sold outside Japan, so there is most likely no official version of it.

Believe me, I pulled all strings I could get hold of .. but no complete R33 manual..

The one 'floating' around is for the engine, but nothing else covered.

A real mystery for such a popular car ..

I see you come from Sydney?

How bad was this red dust storm you had over there?

I saw it on the news and it looked like a scene from planet Mars

Cheers from London,

Andrew
