Has anytone tried this one out particularly the R34 bit ? --I'm looking at R34GTT to be specific .

brought something similar ages ago was the same as the ones you could download for free of the net

so basically $10 + postage for a blank cd

Scans of pics and wiring diagrams were lousy too

would just search and download for free

sorry dont have any links reckon a search on google or here would find em though

Thanks guys , I've got the 230 page Nissan service manual that wisearses keep trying to flog as the "workshop manual".

The only workshop manual I could find was on a US booksite , it's a Nissan hardcopy product and cost about $320.00 US not including post, ----------ou-farkin-ch .

I seriously doubt that outside of that there is a workshop manual download available for an R34GTT specifically.

I've spent far to much time chasin my ass all over the internet after this particular holy grail one will pop up sooner or later---maybe when I'm dead at this rate .

JPNZ translated the R33 manual, but not the R34 manual.

I've ordered copies of the R33 manual and will advise if I get them....still waiting they were due in the next few days in they don't get delayed (full workshop manuals), ~$110 AUD/each.

EDIT: considering the workshop manual for the R33 was finished in translation 2 weeks ago, and they're selling it in hard copy only, unless there's a few other companies translating it I've never seen an electronic copy of more than the engine manual.

Yup, I registered on thier thingo for the translation of the R34GTT manual a while ago, but I'm not holding my breath, if the R33 one is OK and covers the R33 ser II I'll get one of those to fumble through with .

Got the R33 Worskhop Manual, Engine Manual, Owners Manual and Service Handbook all from JPNZ about a week ago - great stuff and Michael was a nice bloke to deal with.....

Peter, I was thinking of getting that from JPNZ aswell, how much did all that cost. There was a price for something around 110 dollars or something like that but I don't think that covered all of what you got?

Sweet, I organised a group buy on the workshop manual and they were apparently posted nearly 9 business days ago which is making me nervous.

When were your posted/delivered?

And how much did you pay out of curiosity?

I downloaded the engine manual ages ago from the net, so that was free....then when I saw the workshop manual I pre-purchased it (special pre-purchase price) off JPNZ (prior to it getting translated) at:

"This email is concerning the deposit for the 1993~1997 Nissan SKYLINE Code: WM107 . We now have enough numbers to carry out translation and publication of the above mentioned manual. Please make a NZ $30 deposit so we can start the process. Once we start we expect the manual to take 3 to 4 months to publish. Once we have the manual complete we will ask for the remaining amount of NZ $70 + NZ $20 postage and will ship the completed manual."

They then invoiced me for the higher amount (ie not the pre-purchase 'special' price). After a few emails back and forth from Michael (Director JPNZ) (he was happy to sell it to me at the originally quoted price, but I had already paid the higher price through the website), he asked me:
