After much whining over the years over the quality/readability of the wiring diagrams in the age old pdf scan of the R32 GTR workshop manual, I pulled my copy out and ran it over the scanner.

Now, it's not perfect. My paper sheets are assembled from photocopies of the originals that I had to tape together. So there are slight discontinuities here and there. On top of that, I had to scan my long taped together sheets as A4 segments and reassemble them on screen, which involved rotating some parts by little angles like 0.15°. But they are pretty good. On top of that, I have left jpgs of the raw individual scanned parts for each numbered assembled scan so you can see the points where they join without any little artefacts caused by my manual stitching.R32 GTR Wiring Diags.zip

The quality of the scan is much better than the old pdf, but there is only so much detail that can be pulled out of the original photocopy. Most of the wiring numbers and colours that were hard to read before are a better, but some remain fairly hard to see. I tried 600dpi scans and it didn't help at all. This is about as good as it gets unless someone scans an original.

Thanks to GTSBoy for the previous photocopy scans and suggestion on how to obtain higher quality scans. I actually have the original printed manual and have finally scanned the wiring pages from it.

The quality is better than was available from the photocopies and pretty much everything is readable if you zoom in far enough; it is only some of the physical wiring pin references that are a little hard to read (which is true in the printed original too).

Thanks on behalf over everyone who will use these but never consider that someone put in the time to do them :) These copies are definitely much better than the ones in the pdf

I do actually have the original originals that I could scan too, but as you described I don't really know the best way to deal with the very wide fold out pages.  If anyone has suggestions on a way to get a better outcome let me know and I can give it a go.

Wow that makes a huge difference. The wire labelling is so much clearer, makes everything easier to follow.

I'll be printing these out to replace my dogeared prints of the old pdf/scan.

Thanks for sharing.

The time is worth it to simplify future efforts to help peeps on here.

You just have to scan them on any A4 (or better, A3) flatbed in pieces with enough overlap to allow reassembly and keeping them dead straight. Gray scale 300dpi will do. Then assemble in a graphics program like the Gimp. I tried using stitching software but it can't cope - it's designed for photo panoramas.

If you want to put the time into scanning the original, you could upload them to OneDrive/Google/whatever and I'll stitch them.

OK, so if you haven't seen in the first post, per GTSBoy's suggestion I have done high res scans form the original printed manual (instead of the photocopy which is not the same quality)

Zip file of the all diagrams (excludes Oz specific, they are in the first post if you need them)

It was very high tech :) Officeworks A3 scanner at 300dpi black and white, then stitch each A3 scan together manually in paint. It has worked pretty OK, you can see the folds in some early scans but I back folded the later ones and they were OK

After fighting with the scanned ones for the last 10 years this is a God send

    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL
