Afternoon all,

I have a complete A3 sized workshop manual for the R34 skyline electrical system for all models.

Only issue is that it's all in Japanese!,

Can anyone assist on a source of an English version?

Happy to pay for either the original document if its in English or for someone to translate the Japanese one I have?

Have attached the most critical one that I'm after in an English version.

Thanks in advance.

Pic of the page I need the most. It's of the GTR AWD altezza electrical system including ecu.

That's upsidedown lol

Where are you situated?

I can take my wiring diag. book down to my friends at JapLink and ask Yumiko to perhaps translate that page for you (whilst you're on the phone with them simultaneously)?

Their Ph# 02-9716.0857. They may even have this book already there. They help out SAUers from time to time.

I've just asked my wife to translate parts of that page, but she's not familiar with sections of the car.

I'm in Adelaide Terry. So a bit far away!!

Are these available to be purchased somewhere that you know of?

Assuming that it comes from the UK or Japan?

Really want to have a complete hard copy preferably!

Would you consider selling or copying yours?

I'll tell you where I bought these manuals (including the hardcopy workshop manual); and that's from the Autobookworld Bookshop at Rushcutters Bay.

Ph (02) 8354.1999

If they have any remaining Paul, they can send it to you in SA.

Hey Terry,

Thanks for all your help so far...... The bookshop unfortunatly was a dead end.

i was thinking somewhere like an office works or similar might be able to do the job.

More than happy to pay for the job and for your time!!

thanks in advance

That would be awesome Terry, hopefully they can do it on their large flat bed scanner?

if they can do the pages on the scanner then it shouldnt be too hard for them to do the whole manual....

Just time i guess which im happy to pay for.

thanks again Terry.

Terry I've spoken to a guy named Gohel.

He is the product manager for Canon Buisness imaging and he is located in North Ryde.

He has the equipment big enough to flat bed scan the document and he is happy to do it for us.

I'm just not sure if you ever get out that way?

I'd obviously be more than happy to have it couriered door to door if you felt comfortable with that as an option?

PM'd Re tomorrow morning :)

Just checking once again after rereading OP...

The Manual I have is also Japanese with the Index in English. Is your one the same anyway?

Can't you just have that page of yours translated by Kristian if you already have the Manual in Japanese Paul?

Just came to meet V Gohel here at N Ryde and he says they only have a roller type of flat bed scanner too, necessitating cutting the page out of the manual Paul. He recommends several DSLR pics > jpeg ;)

Hey Terry,

Sorry I've been off grid for the last week.

I'm not real happy with Gohel. I clearly stated that the pages were up to 1.2m and that cutting the book was not an option.

He said he had a flat bed big enough to do the job.

I'm hoping he recommended a place that could do the photographing?

Must apologise for the dead end run around.

I already have a mailing tube with your addy on it Lol

Photos with a Nikon DSLR next Sunday is the best I can do at this stage Paul.

Gohen said there would be extremely few large table flatbed scanners around nowadays due to low volume jobs and high maintenance.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
