I met with Mike at JPNZ today, for the reason of telling him that we were disappointed with the fact that not everything was in the manual when we all thought we were getting everything.
He said most car manuals were less than 400 pages, this is so their big printing machine can do it all in one go, ours are ~450 so larger than usual. Anyway, after arguing the point a bit and pointing out that quite a few people expected ASC and so on to be well covered, and that we were never told that there would be parts missing, we have come to the following agreement:
If there is just one part, say the ASC or AYC or Engine pull apart that we would like to have fully translated that was missed in Volume 1 or 2 then he will consider getting it translated and simply distributing it via email to purchasers of the first two versions.
If however we want multiple sections, he would make an entire 3rd volume covering the sections we request. This would be UP TO about the same size as the existing volumes, and would be about NZ$40-60, ie half the price of the current manual and about half the size we got before.
I am going to send him an email now asking him to tell us all of the parts that have been missed or only half translated. Once I have that list so that we all know what is missing I will put up a thread asking for confirmations on what sections we want and in turn purchase a 3rd Volume.
If anyone already knows of parts they are missing that they would like details on, please feel free to list them here.
