AV is the correct one. that makes PLENTY of sense to me.

Awesome :P That one in particular makes VERY little sense to me ;)

FYI guys, I realised that some of the smaller PDFs can be translated using Google! http://translate.google.com Just hit 'Upload a document' and then Browse to the locally stored version of the PDF. What it does is conver the PDF to html (strips out the images - so if theres any text in the images you want to read, gotta work it out manually!) and then converts it to english/engrish. Some of it is VERY retarded, but thats just because it has no idea what the word(s) is so its tried to spell it out phonetically eg "Front seat Saidoeabaggumojuru" is "Front Sear Side air bag module" :D So what I then do is have both up on screen (Side by side) and scroll from page to page that way you can look at the pictures and translations at the same time! I couldnt get some of the larger PDFs to translate though :(

Rearrange the text, stick a jpnz logo on it and slang for 200 bucks..

I was thinking the same thing.. I have a PDF printer so given enough time it could probably be translated by a group of us anyway.

given that most of what you guys need is here already and duncan provided the link for 'translation' how about we all take a pdf and rework it to english. I have the AV one open now and I figure I can sort that one to a point. if the PDF is not locked I'll attack it with acrobat and pop things in the right spots.

who's thought about doing the same thing?

as a marker (for looks/feel of the documents) also have a english G35 sedan document to work from. the layouts look quite similar to what I'm used to looking at.

I was thinking of doing the engine mechanical section anyway, good idea Chris. Could take a while for each section, to get it reading correctly.

true but with a collective effort we acheive what we originally wanted - english service manuals. I can do the electronics side of it to a point. some of the diagrams are in japanese but that is easyish to sort out via a mate of mine.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
