Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else paid for a translated manual from these guys http://jpnz.co.nz/and are still waiting for it to arrive also.

I was ok with the week late thing but its now almost 3.5 weeks and im starting to think Ive been scammed, especially since they have not returned any of my emails.

Thanks in advance

I've only ever used the USDM G37 service manual and then there's the manual on this forum for operations. Take a look at the middle of the stickies of this forum list.

Best of all, they're free.

Yeh the downloaded version was my last resort, I guess I wanted the manual in the book form so it would sit nicely in my glovebox..as well as looking more official.

Also the 75 AUS i spent on it was not a donation to http://jpnz.co.nz/

The gloveboxes are small enough without these manuals in them. Not sure who you want to look official to though. I've never admired anyone's stock vehicle partly due to their manuals. :)

Downloading should've been your first resort as you'll get all the information you need from them anyway. Honestly, aside from maybe finding things quicker, there's not much benefit to having the book. Grab the PDFs, print what you need when you need it and if your filthy hands mess up the pages, you can always print another.

I know I'm rubbing salt in the wound here but unless someone else here has bothered to shell out any money for manuals, you'll find that the free approach has worked very well for most, if not all, of us.

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
