VR4 Workshop Manual

[mattVR4NZ]

I have just read this thread for the first time. Are there any of these manuals still for sale or has anyone got one to sell?

DO NOT TRY AND BUY ONE OFF JPNZ. I paid them the money and they did not respond to any of my contact luckily i paid via paypal as after 3 months i have my money back. I am in the process of slowly translating the japanese copy for my "library" i am happy to enail you the pdf once i have completed. It will not be 100% but it will have all the necessary translations for everything i need. Will only be doing set data and pages with pictures ans from what ive worked out the usdm manuals diagnostic pages are same. Let me know if you would like a copy . Be advised i DO NOT want any money i am doing this for my own car repair easability and correctness and am happy to pass on to anyone who would like it. It will not be finished this year as i am doing in my spare time which unfortunately is not alot. Estimate feb march next year. ☺

I have just received a Owner's manual for 1996 -2002 Galant / Legnum VR-4. It has been very well produced as it is the same as any other Jap car. Now I know how to work everything.
It's gold. Purchased from Sinergy Auto Sport, Adelaide. I received it by express post two days after ordering. Part number: FRO 214.

Hello everyone, The VR4 (variant of the 8th gen Galant) complete workshop manual is available at JPNZ for NZ$150. I got a set for myself. It comes in two volumes and is a translation of the Japanese workshop manual. It covers the 6A13TT engine and has the section for the twin turbo units.

@Neomal greetings fellow Hamiltonian, what part of our city are you in? I'm in the top end of Nawton in an area sometimes referred to by the posh sounding name of 'Grandview Estate'.
Post up an introduction in the 'introductions' thread so folks here get to see you.

I found these manuals to be quite lacking when compared with the japanese manual.

I got given a copy from someone, so at least didnt pay for it them.

The japanese pdf has everything, just need to use google translate or learn the read japanese. I also complement the japanese manual with the Magna factory manual as an AWD magna/diamante uses the same diagrams and text but in english.

Also worth noting, these dont contain wiring diagrams.

Agreed, I have flicked through one of these and the Japanese manuals are infinitely better and the text is so basic that translator works fine.

Pages 224 to 249 of Volume 2 do have the wiring diagrams.

it was over 5-6 years ago... might have had wiring diagrams but they mustn't have been good for me to get rid of them.

Keen to hear if maybe they've improved since.

I'm sort of wondering about translation as I have just purchased 1999-10 part set of mitsi rvr service manuals ( at a reasonable cost )from yahoo japan using buyee.jp service.
I got a quote at $45 nzd per page by a translation company in nz, it would work out to be like $45,000 to translate the 4 manuals I have (body, electrical, engine and maintenance) then there is the supplements for later cars from 99-2003 and the 1997-1999 set also (that I was thinking to purchase also) a total of 8 I could get to have all 12 manulas.

Can I scan them to document In japan characters and use google translate or something? The price is just wild.

Any way I was planning to scan and post online as ther are not on the net to be found as pdf versions ard are ultra rare.

The vehicle was only exported to one country so I do have a pick of Russian or japan and the former Russian manuals I could not buy because of the sanctions currently.

Sample below of electrical.

You could take pictures or scan the pages and use something like this to translate the pages:

Translate text from photos from English and other languages – Yandex.Translate

Use Yandex Translate to translate text from photos into Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Ukrainian and other languages (only available when you are online).

translate.yandex.com

It's a bit hit or miss on the accuracy of translations but should give you at least an idea. Worked well enough to translate some japanese instructions I had for Tein coilovers

I don't mind cleaning it up I expect I will have to hand edit it.

I'm just wondering on something like google docs where people could at will login and edit or if there was such a service or Web site that has some sort of setup like that?
